Quotation for your TeamAbout the course
Getting started using PV Elite for pressure vessel design and analysis, reviewing calculations, or wanting to broaden your skills in this software? This training course teaches you how to design the vast majority of pressure vessels and heat exchangers, and also includes specific sections on nozzles, flanges and saddles using PV Elite and CodeCalc.
The course is split into 7 courses, starting with the design of a simple pressure vessel, and then through the next courses, extra features are introduced. The in-depth content within these courses takes the form of video lectures and exercises. Here the participant has the opportunity to attempt the exercises and then follow the extensive recorded explanation from the instructors.
This training course is composed of video lectures and exercises, for which detailed explanations are provided, to teach you the skills you need for pressure vessel design in PV Elite.
