Why take this course?

This self-paced course explains the design and analysis of bellows, rectangular vessels, and supports according to the EN 13445 design code. It provides engineers with a clear understanding of how to handle non-standard geometries and critical load cases involving pressure, and applied forces. Through video lectures, and quizzes, participants learn how to evaluate stresses, determine allowable loads, and ensure compliance with EN 13445 requirements. Completing this course strengthens your ability to design safe and reliable pressure equipment, and contributes to your professional development with PDH credits and a course certificate.

About the course

This course focuses on the EN 13445 design rules for bellows, rectangular vessels, and supports—components that present unique challenges compared to standard cylindrical vessels. Participants learn how to assess stresses, evaluate applied forces and moments, and design supports for structural integrity. Through clear explanations and practical examples, the course helps engineers confidently apply EN 13445-3 Clauses 14, 15, and 16.
