Pressure Safety Devices
This course examines the principles of over-pressure protection for pressurized vessels. It explains the selection, sizing, and inspection of pressure relief devices.
Pressure relief devices protect vessels, piping systems, and equipment from excessive internal pressure that can result in equipment failure or catastrophic accidents. Effective over-pressure protection requires understanding engineering principles, credible over-pressure scenarios, regulatory requirements, and the operating characteristics of various pressure relief devices.
This course covers the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) requirements for over-pressure protection, credible scenario analysis, pressure relief device selection, design calculations, set pressure determination, inspection practices, and maintenance considerations. It also emphasizes engineering documentation, safety, and practical approaches for designing and evaluating over-pressure protection systems in upstream, midstream, and downstream facilities.
This 1 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical engineers and chemical engineers, as well as other technical professionals interested in learning more about over-pressure protection for pressurized vessels.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the terminology and functions of pressure safety devices
- Understanding the principles for determining pressure safety device set points and required flow rates
- Learning how to perform basic calculations used in pressure safety device design and evaluation
