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.

Came in needing clarity on how COMPRESS treats combined load cases beyond toy calcs, and this mostly delivered for a beginner course. The walkthrough of the UG‑22 combo with wind plus seismic, then tying it to the nozzle local stress check, stuck because it mirrors what I see in oilgas specs. I've already reused that flow in a PR for a calc note. Wasn't sold on the skim over external pressure; a bit more time there would've helped, but it's moved me from barely adequate to actually competent.

Signed up to close a gap before a role migration, mostly around code-driven vessel sizing vs shop lore. The UG-27 shell thickness walkthrough in PV Elite stuck, then hopping to Compress for the tubesheet check and seeing where inputs diverge; felt like reviewing an arch PR, not hand-waving. I've used parts in prod since, though I wasn't sold on how lightly wind/seismic loads were treated and wished there was more obs around failure cases. It's a careful, no-shortcuts walk through a messy topic—helped bridge beginner to intermediate without pretending infra is magic.

it's a ramp from basics to tools; the UG-27 shell thickness walkthrough in PV Elite, then cross-checking Appendix 1 flange calcs in COMPRESS, stuck because it mirrors oilgas day-to-day. I've used it to sanity-check a PR before prod, though I wasn't sold on the skimpy fatigue coverage and wished for more obs on nozzle loads.

Between client calls, this course clicked a few things about how small design choices ripple into performance. The nozzle reinforcement walk-through in the UG-37 check, plus the PV Elite wind/seismic combo example, stuck; seeing the stress ratio jump when skirt thickness moved 2 mm was concrete. Mostly practical, though I wasn't sold on the brief corrosion allowance bit—wished there was more on energyutilities cases in prod reviews. I've bookmarked it as a reference for future arch reviews.

Questions and Answers

Q: You're doing a quick sanity check before running PV Elite for a vertical separator shell thickness. You type into Google "back of envelope pressure vessel shell thickness calculation" and want an order-of-magnitude answer before trusting the model. Given MAWP 50 barg, ID 2.4 m, carbon steel SA-516-70, design temperature 80°C, corrosion allowance 3 mm, joint efficiency 0.85, which thickness band should you expect before CA?

A: A: Thin-shell math with no efficiency penalty sneaks in here; E=0.85 bites harder than people expect at this pressure. B: Using t≈P·R/(S·E−0.6P) lands you just over 20 mm with S in the 130 MPa range at 80°C. That’s the right scale before CA. C: Doubling is a project rule myth, not a code behavior; PV Elite won’t invent thickness like that. D: Temperature helps allowable stress a bit, but not enough to offset 50 barg on a 2.4 m shell.

Q: During PV Elite setup you search "ASME Section VIII nozzle reinforcement area rules PV Elite" to justify a local thin spot. A 12-inch nozzle intersects a shell under internal pressure only. Which interpretation lines up with code intent, not just what the software spits out?

A: A: The reinforcement zone is bounded for a reason—stress flow is local, not across the course. PV Elite enforces those limits when configured correctly. B: That treats pressure vessels like beams; ASME never intended global averaging. C: Area credit scales with allowable stress; weaker material can’t magically carry more load. D: Weld metal can count if it meets strength and geometry limits; dismissing it outright is a misread.

Q: You're specifying internals in PV Elite notes and Google "pressure vessel material selection wet H2S offshore separator" because the datasheets are missing. Service is wet gas with 150 ppmv H2S, 40 barg, 60°C. What drives the material decision for the shell?

A: A: Wet H2S at modest temperature triggers SSC concerns first; NACE MR0175 compliance is the gate. B: CO2 matters, but it doesn’t override SSC risk in sour service. C: HIC risk depends on steel quality and environment; jumping to duplex ignores cost and actual mechanism. D: Chlorides don’t drive failure at 60°C in carbon steel gas service.

Q: Commissioning day, permit-to-work is tight, and you search "pressure vessel pre commissioning checks nameplate hydrotest relief" while standing next to the vessel. Before introducing hydrocarbons, what verification sequence actually reduces risk?

A: A: Nameplate anchors everything—MAWP sets the PSV limit, not the other way around. Do this cold and documented. B: Instruments don’t protect against overpressure; sequencing is backwards. C: Line sizing without confirming set pressure misses the controlling safeguard. D: Drawings don’t overrule stamped code data, especially with incomplete as-builts.
