Course details

This course will cover basic and advanced topics of Pressure Vessel Engineering Design and Fabrication 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.

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.

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.

Useful baseline for onboarding juniors; the PV Elite nozzle reinforcement walk-through in the UG-37 example section stuck, showing MAWP changes as inputs shift. It's mostly Div 1 focused—wasn't sold on Compress fatigue coverage, and I wished there's more on arch decisions and handoff to prod drawings/PRs for oilgas energyutilities teams.

First gripe: the lab setup assumes you’ve already got PV Elite and Compress licensed and talking; that ate time. After that, the pace fit a freelancer’s weekend better than expected. Sections map cleanly to client outcomes, not theory for theory’s sake. The UG‑27 shell thickness walkthrough where they toggle joint efficiency and watch the MAWP shift in PV Elite stuck. Same with the Compress nozzle reinforcement check against UG‑37—clear why the numbers move, not just where to click. Useful context on wind/seismic inputs too, which comes up a lot in energyutilities work. It wasn’t flashy, but it shortened my path from spec to calc in prod. found myself recalling the steps days later when reviewing a vendor calc.

Questions and Answers

Q: You're checking PWHT settings in PV Elite during a live turnaround, and you type into Google: "PV Elite PWHT requirement carbon steel wet H2S service". The vessel is SA-516 Gr.70, operating in sour water with 2–3 mol% H2S at 65 °C. Documentation from 2004 is fuzzy. What degradation mechanism is driving the PWHT requirement here?

A: A is anchored in NACE logic: wet H2S plus residual stress is the classic SSC setup, and PWHT lowers peak tensile stress at weld toes. B feels close because hydrogen damage is real in sour service, but HIC isn't solved by PWHT and doesn't depend on weld residual stress the same way. C tempts people who live in corrosion rate spreadsheets, yet general corrosion doesn't care whether you stress-relieve. D borrows from austenitic chloride SCC thinking; carbon steel in sour water doesn't follow that mechanism, and PWHT doesn't buy you protection there.

Q: Your lead asks you, under time pressure, after searching "what does PWHT not protect against pressure vessel failure". A horizontal separator skipped PWHT due to schedule. The vessel later sees a fast pressure ramp during restart. Which failure is PWHT least effective at preventing?

A: B sounds like something stress relief should help, and it does lower mean stress, but fatigue damage is governed by cycles and range; PWHT doesn't erase cyclic loading history. A pulls people toward impact testing logic, yet PWHT actually improves toughness and reduces brittle fracture risk. C is almost the textbook reason PWHT exists in sour service. D is subtle: PWHT can reduce locked-in stress but doesn't fix poor fabrication geometry, still it's more effective there than in true fatigue scenarios.

Q: You're sanity-checking PV Elite output and google "estimate PWHT soak time ASME VIII thickness". A carbon steel vessel has a 65 mm nominal thickness at the thickest weld. Using ASME VIII logic, what's the right order-of-magnitude soak time?

A: B tracks ASME VIII practice: 1 hour per inch or 25 mm puts you just over 2.5 hours. A ignores the diffusion-controlled nature of stress relief. C is a common shop-floor rule of thumb, but it's not code-backed and bloats schedules. D feels safe in a brownfield setting, yet ASME doesn't ask you to stack conservatism that way unless supplementary requirements are invoked.

Q: While reviewing a legacy GA, you search "PWHT exemption low alloy steel PV Elite". The vessel material is SA-387 Gr.11, hydrogen service, design temp 420 °C. The vendor claims PWHT can be waived. What's the dominant concern that argues against skipping PWHT?

A: A ties material and service together: Cr-Mo steels without proper PWHT are vulnerable to temper embrittlement in exactly this temperature band. B borrows from oxidation studies, but PWHT doesn't meaningfully change oxidation kinetics. C mixes up operational transients with fabrication stress relief. D flips cause and effect; PWHT is controlled to avoid excessive grain growth and doesn't create creep problems here.
