Who Should Attend? & Training Objetives

This course is intended for graduates (or soon to be), designers, freelancers, technicians and engineers involved in: calculation, design, selection, manufacturing, safety, quality and maintenance of systems and equipment in industrial processes.

Previous knowledge of this subject is not required to attend to the course.

The main objective of this course is to transfer to participants the theoretical and practical skills required in projects, obtained from experience and sound engineering practices.

What to Expect?

Course participants will gain the knowledge for design of safe and economical Pressure Vessels used in industrial plants, petroleum and chemical industries.

At the end of the course, participants will be able to design the main parts of a Pressure Vessel under all types of possible loadings, stored product, internal pressure, wind and earthquake among others. At the end of the course participants will:

  • Know the code organization and will acquire the vocabulary and fundamentals.
  • Learn to design and calculate the main parts of a Pressure Vessel.
  • Benefit from Lessons Learned and Best Practices from different international projects.
  • Define the wind profile and seismic loading.
  • Design and calculate stiffener rings due to vacuum.
  • Learn to perform the Pressure Vessel stability verification and to define the anchoring requirement due to seismic and wind.
  • Design and calculate the shell due to internal and external pressure.
  • Design and calculate different types of nozzles.
  • Learn to design and calculate non-standard flanges.
  • Master the joint efficiency concept.
  • Learn in detail the internal and external elements of pressure vessels.
  • Learn to select materials for pressure vessels.
