Udemy – Pressure Equipment Engineering Masterclass

Pressure equipment is the backbone of every refinery, chemical plant and petrochemical facility. Most engineers learn it in fragments — a vessel course here, an inspection standard there. This masterclass brings the whole discipline together: design, inspection, damage mechanisms and integrity, structured for engineers who need to understand how every piece connects.

The masterclass draws from a library of focused standalone courses, each a complete treatment of its subject. The courses currently incorporated are:

• ASME VIII Div 1 — Pressure Vessel Design: Shell and head thickness to UG-27 and UG-32, nozzle reinforcement, MDMT, joint efficiency and MAWP — the design foundations that every inspector and integrity engineer needs to know
• Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers: TEMA types, tube-side and shell-side thermal and mechanical design, bundle construction, materials, fouling and the inspection and failure modes specific to heat transfer equipment
• Fired Heaters & Furnaces: Heater types and API 560 nomenclature, process and thermal design, API 530 tube mechanical design and remaining-life assessment, combustion and draft, and inspection and troubleshooting
• API 510 — Pressure Vessel Inspection: ASME VIII design principles for inspectors, damage mechanisms, corrosion-rate and remaining-life calculations, NDE methods, repairs and alterations, rerating and a full mock exam — the complete exam-prep and professional reference for the API 510 certification
• ASME B31.3 — Process Piping: Pressure design of straight pipe, fittings, flanges and branch connections, fluid-service categories, materials and MDMT, with worked calculations throughout
