This document provides an overview and agenda for a two-day workshop on pressure vessel applications, operations, and maintenance. The workshop will cover topics such as pressure vessel design requirements, stress analysis methods, international standards for safety, and manufacturing processes. Attendees will include engineers and technicians working with pressure vessels. The objectives are for participants to understand pressure vessel design codes and analysis, recognize common terms, and apply safety standards to real-world scenarios.

2. OVERVIEW
The design of pressure vessels is a specialist task that requires a thorough understanding of topics such as: strength of materials,
stress analysis and relevant design codes. Pressure vessel design also necessitates a logical, planned approach to the documentation
of all relevant calculations as in many cases; these design calculations can be quite extensive. Given that pressure differential is
dangerous and that fatal accidents have occurred in the development and operation of pressure vessels, standards have been
established and applied to ensure safety governing the design, fabrication, and inspection of boilers and pressure vessels such as
the ASME BPVC Section VIII Div. 1 (Code).
It is therefore appropriate that South African engineers should be provided with an opportunity to formally receive instruction
in the area of pressure vessel design in the context of the relevant South African standard. This 2-day intensive practical training
course will offer insight into the requirements outlined in designing, operating and maintaining pressure vessels. Delegates will
be awarded with an opportunity to understand how to apply the standard to common scenarios they face in the design and
fabrication of the equipment they work with.
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES
At the completion of this workshop, each delegate should be able to:
• Thoroughly understand how strength of materials theory forms the basis of all international pressure vessel codes
and standards
• Understand the most commonly used terms and jargon within the area of pressure vessel design
• Recognize and compare the different methods of stress analysis available for pressure vessel design purpose
• Appreciate the intent and instruction contained within the most commonly employed clauses of the Code and the
South Africa standard
• Have a basic understanding of topics relating to: Vessel Manufacturing Methods, Vessel Testing, Marking and Qualification,
and Relief Devices.
