The Pressure Vessel Definition article provides you the definition and boundaries of pressure vessel based API code and ASME Code.
Based on the ASME Code Section VIII, pressure vessels are containers for the containment of pressure, either internal or external.
This pressure may be obtained from an external source or by the application of heat from a direct or indirect source, or any combination thereof.
The ASME Training Course is 5 days video training course and available online and the student that successfully pass the exam, receive I4I academy certificate with 40 hours training credit.
The ASME Code is a construction code for pressure vessels and contains mandatory requirements, specific prohibitions and non-mandatory guidance for pressure vessel materials, design, fabrication, examination, inspection, testing, and certification.
These scopes are based ASME Code Sec VIII Div 1
