COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview Pressure Vessels. It covers the design fundamentals of pressure vessels, design codes and standards and material selection for pressure vessels; the wall thickness calculation, head and nozzle design, joint efficiency and weld factors and design under combined loads; the various types of pressure vessels, fabrication processes, welding and weld design and non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques; the hydrostatic testing, pneumatic testing procedures and safety, calculations for test pressure and safety precautions and test reports; and the proper inspection and quality assurance, pressure vessel operation and safety. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the visual and thickness inspections, acoustic emission and AE testing, on-stream inspection techniques and monitoring for corrosion and defects; the common repair methods, hot tapping and in-service repairs including fitness for service (FFS) assessment covering level 1–3 assessment methods, evaluation of flaws and remaining life and repair or replacement decisions; the integrity operating windows (IOWs), risk-based inspection (RBI) planning, asset integrity frameworks and integration with CMMS and digital tools; the regulatory compliance, pressure vessel dossier and records, nameplate and stamping requirements and inspection and re-certification schedules.
