About the Training

This training is designed to introduce the theories, concepts, and basic engineering principles of pressure vessels and the use of PV-Elite software for pressure vessels design.

Basic engineering knowledge is a prerequisite. However, the training is tailored towards building knowledge from the basics. Examples with hand calculations will be illustrated and relationship of variables will be discussed. Formulae and computations will be used as applicable with illustrations in a lively manner. The session will be highly interactive with participants encouraged to solve design problems purposely to strengthen confidence and competency. Several examples of design will be illustrated, project based design challenges will be addressed. There shall be sessions for software design of pressure vessel and industry based challenges will be addressed.

The Stransage training philosophy will make the attendees appreciate the application of ASME codes and standards for design of pressure vessel.

 

Who should attend this training?

These introductory sessions are most appropriate for Mechanical Engineers and Site Engineers who are seeking to become experts in Pressure Vessel Design or to expand their versatility.

 

About PV Elite

PV Elite by Intergraph (US) is the most widely used software for pressure vessel design. The Graphical User Interface makes PV Elite very user friendly, and can analyse pressure vessels and shell and tube heat exchangers, with a display to appreciate the modelling and visually see impact of change in design parameter(s). It can be used for analysing both horizontal and vertical pressure vessels with different head configurations available. It provides amongst others the empty weight, operating weight and hydrotest weight for pressures.
