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

A: The 19 mm effective thickness is the gatekeeper here. UG-27(c)(1) uses t minus corrosion allowance, and the 0.85 joint efficiency directly divides the allowable stress term. Using ID-based thin shell logic gives a MAWP around 7.6 MPa; the higher numbers quietly drop E or CA, which COMPRESS will never do unless you've mis-set weld category.

A: The 34 mm thickness is the trip point. UCS-66 exemption curves tighten fast beyond ~25 mm, and brittle fracture risk shows up before pressure ever does. Hydro and PSV checks matter, but MDMT compliance gates whether you're even allowed to chill the vessel during leak testing.

A: Full vacuum is a binary limit. UG-28 external pressure capacity can be far below internal MAWP, especially for tall shells without rings. Once pressure dips negative, you remove the driving force and admit gas, not push harder into elastic buckling territory.

A: The 5 mm excess thickness is the key number. UG-37 allows area replacement from shell, nozzle, and pad. If shell excess alone satisfies the area requirement, adding a pad just adds welds and inspection burden without code benefit.
