Introduction
This course covers the rules of ASME Code Section VIII Division 2 including background and organization. Apart from design aspects, the course also deals with the rules for materials, fabrication, inspection, testing and documentation. It covers the more commonly applied subsections and paragraphs and includes a practical discussion of individual problems and situations. In addition, a real life example will demonstrate the application of the paragraphs tackled during the course.
Goal
Upon completion, the participants will be able to interpret the basic ASME Code Section VIII, Division 2, and use it effectively.
What will you learn in this course?
- An understanding of the background of the code and the ASME system.
- How to apply code rules to common design,fabrication, and testing situations.
- How to perform calculations for common design tasks and also situations not addressed by the code.
- Basic insight to Design by Analysis (DBA) rules and procedures.
What is required
- A calculator
- Latest edition of the code book (VIII Div. 2) is suggested (not required)
Course language
English
Target group
This training will benefit anyone involved in purchasing, design, fabrication or inspection and testing of pressure vessels:
- Managers, mechanical engineers and operators
- Design engineers, inspection engineers
- Quality assurance/control engineers
- Inspectors and inspection coordinators
- ASME certificate holders and other pressure vessel manufacturers
Designed primarily for beginners. Experienced vessel designers, who would like to update their knowledge of the Code, will also benefit from attending. Some background on ASME Sect. VIII, Div.1 will be helpful but is not required.
Trainer
