The course broadly covers the following topics.

Material of construction & corrosion

• Brief review of metallurgy, review of engineering properties, stress-strain diagrams.

• Factors governing choice of materials, criteria for material selection for process equipment.

• Commonly used carbon steels / stainless steels /alloy steels . (ASME Section II A/B)

• Choice of materials for low temperatures / high temperatures, corrosive service, NACE materials.

• Gasket materials, non metallic material etc.

• Painting and coating for corrosion protection, surface preparation, pickling & passivation.

Coded Design of Pressure Vessels (ASME Section VIII Division 1)

• Design principles from strength of materials, code philosophy understanding requirements of codes.

• Pressure vessel categories & classification, code rules for design of cylindrical vessels, spherical vessels, dished heads, flat heads, nozzle reinforcements, welded joints, etc.

• Design considerations for jacketed vessels, tall towers, horizontal bullets with saddle supports. (wind loads / seismic load considerations)

• Impact testing requirements, PWHT hydrotest / pneumatic test pressures, stamping of vessels.

Coded Design of Storage tanks (API-650 / IS-803) 

• Classification of storage tanks – bulk storage and day storage, sizing & optimization, Design of tank components as per codes & standards, bottom plate layout & testing.

• Shell design by one foot-method, conical roof & dome roofs, basic considerations in design of floating roofs, design for wind girders / stiffness, nozzles and accessories.

• Inspection & testing.

• Introduction to seismic design.

Heat Exchanger Design

• Heat exchanger types, classification, categories and nomenclatures in TEMA standards, physical phenomena in condenser / reboiler /regular shell & tube type.

• Mechanical design adhering to ASME and TEMA, design of tubesheet as per TEMA for bending and shear loadings, sizing of non-pressure parts such as baffles, spacers, tie-rods, PP plates, etc.

Miscellaneous

• Welding & fabrication requirements.

• Basic introduction to agitators.

• Internals in tall towers.

• Safety devices/ flame arrestors, etc.

• HAZOP considerations in vessels.

• Introduction to NDT & heat treatments.

• Preparation of GA drawings & detailing.

Entire training is carried out based on actual industrial assignments. Although, training is not held on week-ends, students will be occupied with a lot of home assignments.
