Pr c c A c n ASME BPV C e,
Section VIII, Division 1 NEW!
MC147 MasterClass Series/ASME STANDARDS COURSE
This three-day MasterClass is a practical application course intended
to take participants beyond an introductory level understanding, diving
deeper into the detailed Code rules of ASME Section VIII, Division 1.
Through detailed explanations of the requirements for materials,
design, fabrication, toughness, examination, inspection, testing and
documentation of pressure vessels, participants will develop greater
insights into the practical application of code rules for the construction
and certification of pressure vessels. Case studies, including Code
Case 2695, are discussed in detail to develop a greater understanding
of the code rules and resolving common problems associated with
construction of pressure vessels to Code requirements.
You Will Learn To
•Identify acceptable materials and explain submission procedures for
new materials
•Explain the use of Code Case 2695 and the selection of design
formulas and variables
•Describe general fabrication requirements, testing and certification
requirements, toughness requirements, pre-heat and post-weld heat
treatment requirements, and pressure testing requirements
•Evaluate how to apply the Code Mark and prepare the Manufacturer’s
Data Report
Who Should A end
Engineers, managers, quality control personnel and pressure vessel
owners involved with the purchase, design, construction or inspection
of pressure vessels who already have a basic working knowledge of
ASME Section VIII, Division 1.
Special Requirements
Some amount of prior exposure and experience with ASME Section
VIII, Division 1 is recommended, as the presentation has been targeted
for this audience. Attendees do not require an engineering degree to
benefit from exposure to this course material.
3 Days, 2.3 CEUs, 23 PDHs

MC150 MasterClass Series/ASME STANDARDS COURSE BO I LE RS A N D PR E S SU R E V E S S E L S MasterClass Seires
This two-day MasterClass provides practical methodology for fracture
mechanics analysis of pressure equipment for determining integrity
in the presence of a known flaw that has been identified during
an inspection. Application of fracture mechanics to determine the
remaining fatigue life of a component will be discussed in depth, as
well as use of fracture mechanics to determine the design fatigue life
of pressurized components for new construction of pressure vessels
fabricated to ASME Section VIII, Division 3 requirements.
This is not a course in the theory of fracture, but focuses on its
practical applications. This class will provide detailed instruction on
the application of fracture mechanics and, to a more limited extent,
other methods so that attendees will be able to select the appropriate
technique for each situation.
The technical basis for this MasterClass is API 579-1/ASME FFS-1,
Fitness-For-Service and ASME Section VIII, Division 3, Alternative
Rules for Construction of High Pressure Vessels.
You Will Learn To
• Identify the best method to determine the fatigue life of cyclically
pressurized components
• Perform a fatigue analysis in accordance with the appropriate Codes
and Standards
• Perform a linear-elastic fracture mechanics analysis in accordance
with API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 and ASME Section VIII, Division 3 to
determine crack stability and remaining life for in-service equipment
with a crack-like flaw or for new construction
Who Should A end
Engineers working for Pressure Vessel Manufacturers, Owner/User
and EPC firms who design, specify, procure or are responsible for
inspecting, maintaining or repairing pressure equipment in cyclic
service
Special Requirements
have a basic understanding of fracture mechanics and API 579-1/ASME
FFS-1.
