Strength analysis of pressure vessels
Calculate, design, and perform technical assessments of pressure vessels in accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU and AD 2000.
That's what this seminar is about
From design and verification to practical application.
Correctly classify device types
Understand the characteristics of different types of equipment and consider important criteria for the selection and design of pressure vessels.
Consider the life cycle
Understand which phases and influencing factors are critical to the service life, safety, and design of pressure vessels.
Understanding standards & guidelines
Distinguish between norms, standards, and legal requirements for the placing on the market and operation of equipment.
Putting the DGRL into practice
Requirements of the European Pressure Equipment Directive using specific calculation examples and practical examples to gain a thorough understanding.
