Objectives: To acquire an understanding of the fundamental engineering basis for Division 2. In part, this objective is accomplished by pointing out the differences between the rules of Division 1 and 2, including: fabrication rules, stress allowables, stress categorization and linearization, Appendix 4 stress rules, and Appendix 5 fatigue analysis rules with related fatigue curves. Other supporting documents by the PVRC and WRC will be introduced as a means of further understanding Division 2. This comprehensive course covers the 2007 Edition of the ASME Code, Section VIII, Division 2. With this Edition, this Code was totally re-written and updated to the latest technology. Some of the design and fabrication rules are totally new and state-of-the-art. Having more refined and more accurate rules, the design margins have been reduced. The use of this new Code could result in considerable savings in materials costs and, in most cases the overall vessel costs. There is a great deal of interest in this international Code and ASME would be promoting its use, worldwide. This course compares the new rules with the old rules of Division 2 and with some other international Codes. The design margins and their effect on required thickness will be explained. The basis and background for the new rules will be discussed. Although the emphasis is on design and analysis rules, all aspects of construction will be covered. Accreditation: Each participant will receive a certificate with 3.2 Continuing Education Units accredited by the International Association of Continuing Education and Training (IACET). Who Should Attend: Individuals involved with design, analysis, fabrication, purchasing, repair, and inspection of pressure vessels should attend. (Engineers, designers, fabrication personnel, QA supervisors, and inspectors who work for pressure vessel owners, fabricators, inspection companies, EPC's and government agencies.) Both the beginners and experienced personnel involved with pressure vessels will benefit from this course. Some degree of technical background will be helpful, but individuals are not required to have an engineering degree or previous work experience in the subject matter. Topics: - introduction to the ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code - comparison of Divisions 1 and 2 of Section VIII - theories of failure and design margins of various Codes - general requirements of the new Division 2 - responsibilities of various parties - materials requirements - material toughness and impact testing requirements - design rules for internal pressure - design for buckling - design of formed and flat head - new method for design of openings - design for external loadings - stress analysis methods - acceptance criteria for design by analysis - stress classification and stress linearization - fatigue analysis exemption rules - fatigue analysis - simplified elastic-plastic analysis - fabrication requirements - PWHT requirements - tolerances - NDE requirements - pressure testing - documentation and stamping - pressure relief requirements - example problems - discussion What You Will Learn: - the background of various Codes and how they compare - how to prepare User Design Specification - how to select materials - what is involved with constructing a Code stamped vessel and who is responsible for what - how to apply the design rules of the new Devision 2 - the background of the new rules - how to design for piping loads and other external loading and the use of various WRC Bulletins related to the subject - how to design the most cost effective way - when to use design by analysis - which method of analysis to use and how to apply the new analysis rules - how to categorize stresses into various classifications and how to linearize stress distributions through thickness - various modes of failure and what causes them - how to exempt a vessel from fatigue analysis and, if required, how to perform fatigue analysis - how to interpret and apply the fabrication, PWHT, testing and tolerance rules - documentation and record keeping requirements - the latest at the ASME Code Committies and what PVRC is working on Problem Solving Workshop: - with practical examples Required Code Documents: All participants must bring the ASME Section VIII, Division 2 Code to this class. A course notebook will be provided to all participants by CASTI. |
