Objectives: The design requirements of Section VIII, Division 1 will be explained and their application demonstrated through example problems. General, material, and fabrication requirements with related documentation will be covered. The participants will not only gain the knowledge for design of safe and economical vessels, they will also learn how to pick proper materials, avoid common fabrication problems, size pressure relief equipment, and prepare data reports. A number of important Code Cases, which will result in more economical construction will be introduced. The latest Code revisions and the work being performed on future revisions will be reviewed. Accreditation: Each participant will receive a certificate with 3 Continuing Education Units accredited by the International Association of Continuing Education and Training (IACET). Who Should Attend: Individuals involved with the purchase, design, fabrication, or inspection of pressure vessels. (Engineers, designers, fabrication personnel, QA supervisors, and inspectors who work for pressure vessel owners, fabricators, inspection companies, EPC's and government agencies.) 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 ASME Section VIII Division 1 - general requirements of Section VIII - design criteria and strength theory of Division 1 - design rules - shells - heads - flat covers - openings - and more - design of nozzles for piping reactions - WRC Bulletins 107, 297 and 368 - definition of joint categories and joint efficiencies - fabrication requirements - post weld heat treatment (PWHT) - tolerances - non-destructive examination (NDE) - and more - testing requirements - overpressure protection requirements - stamping and documentation requirements - introduction to thermal stress analysis - flange design - comparison with Division 2 - research and development work being performed - PVRC and elsewhere - open discussion and individual problems Problem Solving Workshop: - with practical examples Required Code Documents: All participants must bring the ASME Section VIII, Division 1 Code to this class.
