Buckling & Local Failure and Compliance Checks conform ASME BPVC VIII-2

In this training course participants will be taken through the compliance method for ASME VIII-2 Part 5 to demonstrate that a pressure vessel is not at risk of buckling under compressive load. Buckling is an unstable failure mechanism and as such the safety factors required differ from other compliance checks. The Type 1, 2 and 3 methods in the ASME VIII-2 Part 5 are here explained and together with the difference in the design factors due to the accuracies of the methods.

The local failure compliance check conform ASME VIII-2 Part 5 is also explained and under which circumstances this need to be performed.

This course includes video lectures together with quizzes and exercises to reinforce your learning.

For the other compliance checks in ASME VIII-2 Part 5 please review our learning path on the ASME VIII-2 Part 5 or the individual courses per failure mode which can be found under Related Courses.
