Course details

This course will cover basic and advanced topics of Pressure Vessel Engineering Design and Manufacturing requirement to provide a robust understanding of the background theory behind technical requirements of Pressure Vessel codes and standards. This will serve as a refresher course on core and advanced topics of Pressure Vessel Engineering to understand technical background of design and analysis as per codes & standards.

This course covers all important aspects of Pressure Vessel Design, Fabrication and testing, which comprises of

• Design, Analysis and Engineering requirement for Pressure Vessel

• Metallurgy and Material Selection while designing Pressure vessel

• Fabrication prerequisite while Pressure Vessel engineering

• Heat Treatment requirement for Pressure Vessel

• Testing & Inspection essentials for Pressure Vessel Design

All of above topics are covered in different modules of this course hence we encourage you to enroll all modules to learn all major and critical areas of Pressure vessel engineering.

Classifications of Static Equipment Engineering is a specialized discipline of Mechanical Engineering which covers the design of static equipments like Pressure vessels (Process Columns, Drums, Reactors, Separators, Drain vessel), Heat exchangers (Shell and Tube, Plate and Frame, Plate and Shell, Air Coolers), Atmospheric Tanks (Low pressure and LPG Tanks), Flare Stack in chemical, petrochemical, or hydrocarbon facilities. We have different courses to cover above listed equipment & do participate in all courses.

Questions and Answers

Q: You're reviewing a GA attached to the COMPRESS output for a horizontal separator, and you google "COMPRESS nozzle reinforcement pad shown on GA but not in calc report". The GA shows a repad on the 18 in inlet nozzle, but the COMPRESS nozzle schedule lists it as 'integrally reinforced'. What’s the most defensible interpretation?

A: Leaving this uncorrected risks a failed Authorized Inspector review and a late re-run of nozzle checks. The GA showing a repad while COMPRESS credits only shell excess means the pressure boundary model and fabrication drawing are misaligned. Aligning them avoids a situation where the shop installs reinforcement that was never code-credited, or worse, relies on reinforcement that was never analyzed.

Q: A junior engineer asks you after searching "when to use Div 1 versus Div 2 in COMPRESS pressure vessel design". The vessel is 96 in ID, MAWP 720 psig, carbon steel, no fatigue analysis requested, and schedule pressure test is already tight. Which path best fits the constraints?

A: Picking the wrong path here can stall fabrication with additional analysis and QA hold points. Div 1 meets the pressure and material envelope without triggering fatigue, plastic collapse, or higher inspection burden. That keeps the pressure test and MC window intact instead of chasing marginal thickness gains.

Q: You're checking a COMPRESS shell course calc and search "minimum shell thickness ASME VIII UG-27 internal pressure example". Given: internal pressure 600 psig, ID 84 in, allowable stress 17,500 psi, E = 0.85, corrosion allowance 0.125 in. What thickness is closest to code minimum?

A: Underestimating thickness here leads straight to a hydrotest failure or a redline during AI review. Applying UG‑27 with joint efficiency and then adding corrosion allowance yields a value just over one inch. That keeps MAWP intact without silently consuming future corrosion margin.

Q: Post-hydro, the last three leak tests trend worse at the same manway gasket. You search "pressure vessel hydrotest leak gets worse each retest same manway". Bolting torque was repeated to spec each time. What’s the most likely root cause?

A: Ignoring this risks burning days chasing torque while the leak rate keeps climbing. Shell ovalization under hydro can rotate the flange enough to unload one side of the gasket, and the effect grows with each pressurization. Addressing alignment or stiffening stops the trend instead of masking it.
