Is this course for you?

You should take this if

  • You work in Oil & Gas Upstream or Pharmaceutical & Healthcare
  • You're a Mechanical Engineering professional
  • You prefer live, instructor-led training with Q&A

You should skip if

  • You need a different specialisation outside Mechanical Engineering
  • You need fully self-paced, on-demand content

Course details

This course will cover basic and advanced topics of Pressure Vessel Engineering Design, Inspection and Testing 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.

Course suitable for

Key topics covered

This module talks about fabrication requirement as per ASME Code. Production & Fabrication is one of most important aspect of Pressure vessel Engineering and through understanding of fabrication is essential for Design Engineering because their drawing will get converted into actual product. Following topics are covered in this module

1. Testing

a. Pneumatic Testing

b. Hydro test water quality

c. Hydro test saddle

d. Hydraulic Testing

Do enroll other module to learn more on fundamentals of material requirement while designing pressure vessel and understand ASME Code that are critical for a static equipment engineer.

Questions and Answers

A: 1.3 is the number that matters here. UG-99(b) drives 1.3 × MAWP corrected for test temperature allowable stress. At ambient, allowable stress is higher than at design temperature, so the pressure multiplier doesn’t reduce; if anything, COMPRESS will slightly increase the allowable side, not the pressure. Liquid head is already embedded in MAWP definition, not added on top. 1.5 shows up in proof or burst contexts, not hydro.

A: 1.1 is the boundary engineers miss. ASME VIII Div 1 limits pneumatic testing to lower pressure because compressible energy release drives blast risk, not stress margin. The vessel doesn’t suddenly see a different stress regime, but the consequence of a crack does. COMPRESS enforces the reduced ratio for that reason.

A: MDMT is the hinge point. Hydro is slow, warm, and forgiving; it won’t expose low-temperature fracture behaviour or dynamic loading sensitivity. COMPRESS checks MDMT separately using impact test rules. The other items are either directly covered by code or live in different protection layers.

A: 10 minutes is the quiet constraint. ASME expects a defined hold at full pressure with calibrated instrumentation and inspection while stressed. Draining, inspecting after depressurisation, or inspecting during ramp all break the intent and won’t survive an HSE challenge.
