This intensive course is aimed at engineers developing pressure vessel designs, it covers the requirements of the PED and the three main design codes used in the UK - PD5500, ASME VIII Division 1 and EN 13445. Starting with an introduction to the pressure vessel concepts it covers all basic design considerations, including: joint efficiencies, heads and cones under pressure, nozzles and openings, flat ends, bolted flanged connections, supports and local load analysis. At the end we look at the considerations to do with the transportation and installation and other practical considerations.
