This course is a recording of a live webinar. A pressure vessel is one of the most critical components used in industry. Before the first set of rules were published by ASME in 1914, thousands of people died in the US due to boiler-related incidents. As a result, some states began enacted rules for the design and fabrication of pressure vessels. But those rules had no consistency and oftentimes conflicted with each other.
In this course, we will discuss some of the basic requirements related to the ASME pressure vessel code, including maximum pressure, vessel thickness, joint efficiency, allowable stress, materials and NDE. We will cross reference other ASME standards that are used in this pressure vessel code to demonstrate how the industry standards are connected.
There are no prerequisites for this course. It is beneficial for engineers of all disciplines to learn the basics of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel code, particularly those working in industries that use pressure vessels. You are welcome to follow along using a copy of the latest edition of the code, but it is not required to participate in the webinar.
