Pressure Vessel and Piping MasterClass Courses to be Offered D...

Pressure Vessel and Piping MasterClass Courses to be Offered D... Pressure Vessel and Piping MasterClass Courses to be Offered D... Pressure Vessel and Piping MasterClass Courses to be Offered During Code Week in AtlantaASME Training Development will present six courses from the ASME MasterClass Series on Boiler, Pressure Vessel and Piping Technologies next month in conjunction with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Week. The advanced-level courses will be held from Nov. 1-6 at the Westin Peachtree Plaza in Atlanta, Ga. Led by industry experts and ASME codes and standards leaders, ASME MasterClass courses are practical training sessions for experienced professionals that emphasize learning through the discussion of real world case studies and practical applications. MasterClass instructors lead in-depth sessions that address current issues and best practices to inspire interactive discussions and group knowledge-sharing. The first course, Bases and Application of He at Exchanger Mechanical Design Rules in ASME BPV Code Section VIII, offers a comprehensive look at the history and bases for the mandatory rules for the mechanical design of shell and tube heat exchangers supplied with the ASME Mark, and provides a review of the detailed design procedures, as well as a thorough explanation of the significant parameters and available options. The course, to be held Nov. 1 and 2, will be presented by Gabriel Aurioles, technology director for Aspen Technology and chair of ASME Subgroup on Heat Transfer Equipment. On Nov. 3 and 4, Design by Analysis Requirements in ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII, teilen 2 will provide attendees with an understanding of the analytical methods found in Part 5 of Section VIII, Division 2, and present them with practical information on how to meet the requirements using finite element analysis (FEA). David Thornton, principal engineer and technical advisor for Equity Engineering Group and me mber of the joint American Petroleum Institute/ASME technical committee responsible for the development of Fitness-for-Service (FFS) assessment techniques, is the instructor for this MasterClass, which will incorporate detailed FEA models to help illustrate the various analytical techniques. Piping Vibration Causes and Remedies - a Practical Approach, on Nov. 4 and 5, provides the necessary foundation of knowledge for those who are responsible for assuring the mechanical integrity of existing piping systems, as well as those responsible for designing and constructing new piping systems. Presented by Don Frikken, senior advisor for Becht Engineering and member and past chair of the ASME B31 Pressure Piping Committee, the course presents background on primary causes of piping vibration, describes how to identify sources of vibration, and explores a wide variety of causes of vibration in order to enable participants to properly evaluate the different vibration problems t hat can occur in piping systems. Techniques Methods used in API 579 Problem Manual and additional examples illustrating the different Assessment Levels. David Thornton will be the instructor for this MasterClass, which will teach participants how to define the basis and application of the Assessment Levels permitted by API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 select an Assessment Level given a component with damage and apply the FFS techniques to the evaluation of inservice components through the life-cycle management process. Bases and Application of Design Requirements for High Pressure Vessels in ASME BPV Code Section VIII Division 3, also on Nov. 5 and 6, offers an overview of the design methodology and philosophy of ASME Section VIII, Division 3 Alternative Rules for High Pressure Vessels, which incorporates an overview of the analysis methods used, including the application of FEA, to meet the requirements of the Code. Presented by Daniel T. Peters of Structural Integrity Associa tes and chair of the Section VIII Subgroup on High Pressure Vessels, the course will show attendees how to apply the rules of ASME Section VIII, Division 3 to pressure equipment design evaluate the life of a component using ASME Section VIII, Division 3 philosophy and define the limitations of the ASME Section VIII, Division 3 in reference to pressure equipment design. The sixth MasterClass, Piping Failures - Causes and Prevention, provides participants with background on the fundamental causes of piping failures and describes how these failures could have been avoided. The course, which will be presented by Don Frikken on Nov. 6, will explore a wide range of failures, including mechanisms such as fatigue, overload, corrosion, among others, and discuss the various mistakes that can be made during piping design, construction, operation, maintenance and inspection. Attendees can save 15 percent on registration when they sign up for two of the MasterClasses in Atlanta , or save 20 percent when they register for three courses.
