Overview

An Engineering Education Australia Virtual Workshop:

The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, which originated more than a hundred years ago, is an international standard that regulates the design, fabrication and inspection of boilers and pressure vessels, and nuclear power plant components during construction.

Based on the requirements of Section VIII, Division 1 of the Code (Rules for Construction of Pressure Vessels) you'll cover the background, organisation, design, materials, fabrication, inspection, testing and documentation of pressure vessels.

You'll also examines the more commonly applied subsections and paragraphs of the Code and includes a practical discussion of individual problems and situations.

Facilitated by an international expert in boiler and pressure vessels, there will be additional content delivered on the updates to the 2019 edition of the Code.

Special requirements
Participants are required to bring their own calculator.

The latest edition of the ASME codebook, BPVC Section VIII-Rules for Construction of Pressure Vessels Division 1, is not required for this course but may be purchased separately.

This course is run exclusively by The American Society of Mechanical Engineers with Engineering Education Australia.

Is this course for you?

Designed primarily as introductory-level, the course will nonetheless be valuable for experienced vessel designers who would like to update their knowledge of the current edition of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.

It will be particularly useful for those involved with the purchase, design, fabrication, or inspection of pressure vessels.

Although some technical background in engineering is helpful, participants are not required to have an engineering degree or previous work experience in the subject matter to attend this course.
