Pressure Vessel Shell Design | ASME VIII Div.1 | PV Elite
Master pressure vessel shell design with ASME VIII Div.1 through manual calculations and PV Elite verification.
What you'll learn
Design pressure vessel shells under internal pressure using ASME Section VIII Div.1 UG-27.
Perform complete manual shell thickness calculations and verify results using PV Elite.
Design shells under external pressure using UG-28, including Factor A, Factor B and ASME charts.
Calculate MAWP, MAPNC and design stiffening rings as per UG-29 requirements.
Understand the engineering logic behind every pressure vessel shell calculation.
Interpret ASME Section II Part D tables and external pressure charts with confidence.
Requirements
Basic knowledge of Mechanical Engineering is recommended.
Familiarity with pressure vessels is helpful but not mandatory.
No prior ASME Code experience is required.
A calculator and notebook are recommended for manual calculations.
PV Elite is optional but recommended
Description
This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
Master Pressure Vessel Shell Design from Scratch
This course is designed for engineers who want to understandhow pressure vessel shell thickness is actually calculated according to ASME Section VIII Division 1, instead of simply relying on software.
Whether you're a graduate engineer, draughtsman, design engineer, production engineer, inspection engineer, or quality engineer, this course will help you build a strong foundation in pressure vessel design.
Unlike software-only courses, every calculation is explained step by step so you understand the engineering behind the formulas.
