About the course

Course Description:
Designing pressure vessel components to withstand external pressure is crucial for ensuring structural integrity under buckling and compression loads. This course delves into the ASME BPVC VIII-1 provisions for components subjected to external pressure, focusing on both thin- and thick-walled shells, buckling evaluations, and the role of stiffener rings.

Key topics include:
Fundamentals of buckling for pressure vessels
Evaluating cylindrical and thin-walled shells under external pressure
Buckling critical length and compressive stress allowables
Stiffener rings: purpose, design, and implementation as per ASME VIII-1
Vessel heads and their behavior under external pressure

With practical examples, illustrations, and clear guidance, participants will learn to evaluate and enhance the stability of vessel components under external pressure.
