Introduction to ASME BPVC VIII-1 and Related Physical Concepts
Why take this course?
Gain a foundational understanding of the ASME VIII-1 code. Explore weld efficiency, fatigue, MDMT, and design stresses through practical examples. This course includes lectures, quizzes, and PDH-accredited certificate.
What you'll learn
After this course, you...
• Know for which types of pressure vessels the ASME VIII-1 design code is relevant,
• Have an overview of the different sections of the ASME B&PV,
• Have seen how to obtain material properties,
• Understand how different design loads are assessed conform ASME VIII-1,
• Are familiar with the safety factor used to calculate the design stress,
• Have learnt the design approaches for brittle failure.
About the course
The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) Section VIII, Division 1, is a cornerstone for the design, fabrication, and inspection of pressure vessels. This training course provides a comprehensive introduction to the ASME VIII-1 code, its structure, and the key physical concepts that underpin its rules and guidelines.
Participants will gain insights into material selection, weld joint efficiency, non-destructive testing, design loads, and fatigue considerations. Additionally, practical exercises will reinforce understanding, including determining Minimum Design Metal Temperature (MDMT) and evaluating weld joint efficiencies.
Key topics include:
1. ASME VIII-1 Code Coverage: Outline and Build-up
2. Material Selection and ASME Section 2 Part D Material Tables
3. Weld Joint Efficiency and its relationship to non-destructive testing
4. Design Loads and Code Design Stresses in ASME VIII-1
5. Fatigue design principles in ASME VIII-1
6. Brittle fracture: Physical concepts and Code-Based Analysis
Practical exercises include:
- Weld joint efficiencies
- Determining MDMT for pressure vessels
This foundational training online course is perfect for engineers new to the ASME VIII-1 code or those seeking to deepen their understanding of its physical concepts and applications in pressure vessel design.
