BO I LE RS A N D PR E S SU R E V E S S E L S MasterClass Series MC132 MasterClass Series/ASME STANDARDS COURSE
This two-day MasterClass provides an in-depth review of the rules
and application of the ASME, NBIC and API codes and standards in
making run-or-repair operability decisions for pressure equipment
(tanks, vessels) and piping and tubing systems. The class is based
on a series of Case Studies of abnormal and damaged conditions,
how to diagnose their cause, how to determine the integrity of the
system or component, how to decide whether to keep the system
or component in service, and how to repair and prevent recurrence.
In making these assessments, we will discuss what guidance is
available in ASME B&PV, ASME B31, ASME Post-Construction Codes,
API 579, NBIC, and regulations; as well as what is not addressed in
codes, standards and regulations, and is therefore at the discretion
of the engineer.
You Will Learn To
• Distinguish which parts of run-or-repair operability decisions are
addressed in ASME-API-NBIC codes and standards; and which
parts are at the discretion of the engineer
• Apply basic run-or-repair principles to diagnose the cause of
damage or abnormal condition, and know what simplified and
advanced methods and criteria are available for their analysis
• Identify the criteria used for making operability decisions for several
types of generic damage mechanisms, including fatigue, pitting,
corrosion, cracking, overload, leaks, and component support
failures
Who Should A end
Plant staff engineers, designers, project engineers, maintenance
engineers, inspectors, and regulators who desire a practical
roadmap for making run-or-repair and operability decisions based
on the sound application of ASME codes and standards, regulations,
and engineering practice
Special Requirements
This MasterClass is structured on the assumption that participants
have a basic knowledge of ASME Pressure Vessel Codes &
Standards.
Participants are encouraged to bring examples of particularly
challenging issues encountered on the job for in-class discussion.

MC123 MasterClass Series/ASME STANDARDS COURSE
The focus of the one-day MasterClass is to provide an understanding
of the fatigue methods found in Part 5 of ASME Section VIII, Division 2
as well as to convey practical information on how to perform analysis
including the use of Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Discussion on the
background of the analysis methods and their application are presented
through the ASME Pressure Technology Bulletins, “PTB-1-2013 Section
VIII - Division 2 Criteria and Commentary” and “PTB-3-2013 Section VIII -
Division 2 Example Problem Manual.”
Attendees gain an appreciation of how these analytical techniques can
be applied to practical design situations. The class includes detailed
example problems that demonstrate how the analytical techniques are to
be applied, and their limitations. The fatigue analysis approaches using
smooth bar and welded joint technology using the new structural stress
approach are covered in detail, including case histories to highlight the
application to common Industry problems. Detailed FEA models will be
presented to help illustrate the various analytical techniques.
You Will Learn To
• Explain the fundamentals of fatigue and the implementation of fatigue
design methods in ASME Section VIII, Division 2
• Evaluate the technical basis for smooth bar and welded fatigue
methodologies
• Apply the fatigue analysis techniques for practical Industry problems
Who Should A end
Pressure vessels engineers working for owner-users, manufacturers or
engineering and design construction firms in the refining, petrochemical
and other comparable industries who desire a practical understanding
of one of the major areas of the new Division 2 of ASME Boiler and
Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII
Special Requirements
This MasterClass is structured on the assumption that participants have
a basic understanding of ASME B&PV Code Section VIII, Division 2, and
fatigue concepts.
Participants are encouraged to bring examples of particularly challenging
issues encountered on the job for in-class discussion.
