Course details

This course will cover basic and advanced topics from Solid Mechanics required to provide a robust understanding of the background theory behind technical requirements of Piping and Pressure Vessel codes and standards. A refresher course on core and advanced topics of Solid mechanics required to understand technical background of Piping and Pressure Vessel codes and standards.

This course provides a thorough review of solid mechanics principles tailored specifically for engineers involved in the design, analysis, and assessment of static equipment such as pressure vessels, storage tanks, and heat exchangers. It covers the fundamental concepts of stress, strain, elasticity, plasticity, bending, torsion, and failure theories, while also connecting these principles to practical applications in static equipment design. The program emphasizes how solid mechanics underpins key codes and standards used in the industry, including ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and ASME B31.3 Process Piping Code, helping engineers interpret code rules and apply engineering judgment in real-world scenarios. Through worked examples, case studies, and problem-solving exercises, participants will develop the skills needed to analyze complex load conditions, evaluate structural integrity, and ensure safe, efficient, and code-compliant designs.

It is good

good refresher on B31.3 flexibility calc—Chapter IX example walking the expansion loop and stress range f factor stuck. I've used the 319.4.4 displacement vs sustained split in a real spec review; mostly clicked, but I wasn't sold on the brief treatment of occasional loads and wished for one more worked case.

The handoff between modules felt natural, so context carried without rework. The anti-patterns section on over‑constraining anchors at pump nozzles stuck, especially the load-case table where T1 thermal got duplicated and skewed nozzle loads. As a freelancer making arch/infra calls on oilgas work, it helped me sanity-check assumptions before pushing to prod; I don't need another PR churn. wasn't sold on the light coverage of vendor quirks—more contrast between CAESAR II and AutoPIPE would've helped—but it's time well spent even if you just mine the anti-patterns.

This course cleared a few bottlenecks I've been hitting on ASME work lately, especially when code math meets real layouts. The moment that stuck was the thin-wall cylinder example in the stress chapter where hoop vs longitudinal stress gets mapped to B31.3 allowables; the Mohr’s circle walk-through finally clicked for reviewing a PR. It's mostly tight, though I wasn't sold on the quick skim of fatigue and wished there was more on sustained vs occasional loads for pharma skids. I'll keep it bookmarked and pull it up before our next arch review in prod.

Questions and Answers

Q: You're reviewing a 20‑year‑old GA during a turnaround and searching "how to read nozzle load table on old pressure vessel GA drawing". The drawing shows a vertical separator with a nozzle load table listing Fx, Fy, Fz = 0 kN, and Mx, My, Mz populated. The vessel has been in service without issue. What does the zero force entry actually tell you?

A: Acting on the wrong interpretation can push you into unnecessary reinforcement pads or last‑minute piping reroutes. In older vendor GAs, it was common practice to specify governing moments only, assuming the piping stress model would limit forces well below shell limits. Moments usually drive local stress checks per WRC. The vessel surviving service supports that intent.

Q: Your spec references ASME VIII Div 1 (1998) and you're googling "does new ASME Section VIII supersede old edition for brownfield repair". The repair involves adding a small reinforcing pad. The contract is silent on code edition. What governs?

A: Applying the wrong edition can trigger non‑compliant thickness or inspection rules, stalling the turnaround. For repairs, the original construction code controls unless the Jurisdiction or contract states otherwise. API 510 references this logic and doesn't wholesale replace ASME VIII design rules.

Q: The vessel is still warm and you're under time pressure — hydrotest is in 8 hours. You're checking anchor bolt installation on a skirt‑supported column and searching "anchor bolt inspection checklist before hydrotest skirt support". What sequence makes sense?

A: Missing a basic bolt attribute can mean skirt uplift or bolt yielding during hydro, forcing an unplanned drain. Grade, size, and engagement are prerequisites; without them, tension checks are meaningless. Geometry against the GA closes the loop before loading the structure.

Q: You're resizing a reinforcing pad during an MOC and searching "reinforcing pad thickness selection ASME VIII Div 1 brownfield". The nozzle sees high piping moments but low pressure. What drives the pad thickness choice?

A: If you size the pad only for pressure, local bending stress can crack the shell near the nozzle. In moment‑dominated cases, external load stress reduction controls, and thickness is selected to spread load into the shell, not just replace lost area.
