Details 
This course is a combination of Section VIII, Division 1 - Design & Fabrication (PD442) and Inspection, Repairs, and Alternations of Pressure Vessels (PD441). The course is 5 days in length. Days 1 - 3 are dedicated to design and fabrication. Days 4 & 5 focus on repair and alteration of pressure vessels.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Those involved with the purchase, design, fabrication, maintenance, repair, or inspection of pressure vessels. Some technical background will be helpful, but attendees are not required to have an Engineering degree or previous work experience in the subject matter.
Register before January 24, 2008, to save $250 on the registration fee. (Early registration will also ensure the class will be held. We need at least 10 registrants to hold the class as planned.)
INSTRUCTOR: Kamran Mokhtarian, P.E.
Mr. Mokhtarian has 40 years of experience in design, analysis, and fabrication of pressure equipment. He presently performs consulting services to the pressure vessel industry. He is the Vice Chairman of ASME Code Subcommittee VIII, a member of ASME Post Construction Committee, ASME/API Joint Committee on Fitness-For-Service, and a number of other professional organizations. He is also the Chairman of the Pressure Vessel Research Committee (PVRC).
DESIGN AND FABRICATION details:
Based on the rules for pressure vessel design and construction, this course is a comprehensive introduction to the requirements of Section VIII, Division 1 including background, organization, design, materials, fabrication, inspection, testing and documentation of pressure vessels. The more commonly used subsections and paragraphs will be covered, and a discussion of individual problems or situations will be included. This course is intended for beginners, as well as experienced vessel designers who would like to update their knowledge of the Code. Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
1) Understand the background of the Code
2) Apply the Code rules to more common design and fabrication situations
3) Perform calculations for some of the loadings and situations not addresses by the Code
4) Prepare design specifications, design reports, data reports, and other documentation SPECIAL FEATURES: An overview of code organization, offering of updated editions and addenda, and expert instruction on how to prepare and submit an inquiry to the Code Committee for Code Interpretation, Code Cases or Code Revision. It is suggested (but not required) that you bring the latest edition of the ASME Code Section VIII, Division 1, Pressure Vessels.
REPAIR AND ALTERATION details:
This course is a comprehensive introduction to the requirements of various codes and standards, regarding inspection, repairs and alterations of pressure equipment, and in particular, pressure vessels. The requirements of the National Board Inspection Code and the API-510 will be covered in detail. A brief introduction to API-579, Fitness-for-Service will also be included. Simple flaw evaluation procedures will be evaluated. The activities of ASME’s Post Construction Committee will be explained and documents published by this Committee will be discussed. SPECIAL FEATURES:
Learn about the latest developments in the rapidly advancing field of pressure equipment inspection and repairs. Receive an overview of the work being performed by API, ASME, and PVRC, in the related areas.
