Design and Fabrication Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchangers in Accordance to Asme and Tema Codes Course
Introduction:
-
This course is centered around the design and fabrication regulations for heat exchangers, as outlined in the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division 1, and TEMA. Participants will receive a comprehensive overview of the Code requirements, encompassing design, materials, fabrication, inspection, and testing. Emphasis will be placed on effectively applying the Code to meet design and construction criteria. Detailed design calculations for various heat exchanger components, such as the shell side, tube side, saddles, and lifting lugs, will be covered.
Additionally, the course will review the ASME Code requirements for obtaining a certificate of authorization with the "U" stamp. Participants will also gain insights into computer-aided engineering programs utilized in pressure vessel design, as well as how to utilize spreadsheet programs like Excel for this purpose.
Course Objectives:
This course aims at improving the capability of the participating engineers to design and fabricate and test of heat exchangers.
Who Should Attend?
This course is designed to meet the needs of engineering and manufacturing organizations and users of Code that have to comply with TEMA and ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel requirements. The course is a “must” for new employees who have been given the responsibility for heat exchangers or for any persons who need initial or increased familiarity with Code applies to the design and construction of heat exchangers will benefit by attending this course.
This course is designed for engineers and highly qualified technicians entering the design, fabrication, inspection, operation and maintenance, plant engineers requiring background on Code compliance, plant owners, fabricators and suppliers wishing to extend their knowledge to induce a supplementary understanding of design, fabrication and installation of Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchangers.
