About the course

Flat heads and flanges are essential components in pressure vessel design, requiring meticulous attention to ensure safety and efficiency. This course dives into the ASME BPVC VIII-1 design rules for flat plates, bolted connections, and flanges, providing a comprehensive understanding of their design, evaluation, and calculation methods.

Key topics include:
Design rules for flat plates, covers, and flanges in ASME VIII-1
Gasket selection and evaluation for bolted connections
Bolt evaluations and design of bolted flange connections
Step-by-step calculation procedures for bolted connections
Understanding the equivalent pressure rule for flange evaluation

Through practical examples and clear guidance, participants will learn to design and evaluate flat heads and flanges, ensuring compliance with ASME VIII-1 standards.
