Course details

The Design of Pressure Vessel using COMPRESS – Complete Understanding of Metallurgy and Material Selection as per ASME Code course is designed to provide engineers and professionals with a comprehensive understanding of pressure vessel design, material selection, and code compliance. The course focuses on using COMPRESS software for designing pressure vessels according to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC), covering calculations for wall thickness, stress analysis, nozzle design, and load conditions. Participants also gain in-depth knowledge of metallurgy and material selection, learning how to choose appropriate materials based on temperature, pressure, corrosion resistance, and mechanical properties. Through a combination of theoretical concepts, practical software exercises, and real-world case studies, learners develop the skills to design safe, efficient, and code-compliant pressure vessels used in industries such as power, petrochemical, oil & gas, and process plants. This course equips engineers to confidently handle both design and material challenges, ensuring reliability and regulatory compliance in high-pressure applications.

Questions and Answers

A: That's the most common mistake — treating hydrotest as a stand‑alone mechanical check. The difference matters because UG‑20(f) brittle fracture risk is controlled by verified material and MDMT before you ever load the shell with cold water. If the heat numbers or impact test linkage are wrong, a passing pressure hold doesn't protect you during the ramp.

A: That's the most common mistake — assuming brittle fracture rules cover all fracture scenarios. The exemption only addresses low‑temperature static loading; rapid depressurization drives high strain rates and local cooling, and the code exemption doesn't stop that physics.

A: That's the most common mistake — chasing global thickness or operating loads. The emissions trending during hydrotest point to residual stress and microcracking from uneven PWHT; it's localized, repeatable, and pressure‑activated, which the other options don't fully explain.

A: That's the most common mistake — forgetting the stress ratio correction. ASME requires about 1.3× MAWP corrected by allowable stress at test temperature, so landing around 75 barg is the right scale before you even open COMPRESS.
