Module 1 - Introduction to Pressure Vessel
🔹 Module 1: Introduction to Pressure Vessel
Overview:
This module lays the groundwork for understanding pressure vessels by focusing on the physical and engineering concepts that govern their design. You’ll build confidence in interpreting operating conditions and learn how these parameters affect the design and integrity of static equipment.
🧠What You'll Learn:
Understanding Pressure
What is pressure? (Gauge vs absolute, atmospheric reference)
Types of pressure in vessel design (internal, external, operating, design)
Real-world sources of pressure in refinery and process systems
Understanding Static Equipment
Difference between static and rotating equipment
Types of static equipment: Pressure vessels, tanks, columns, heat exchangers
Roles and importance in maintaining process safety and reliability
Understanding the Basics of Design Pressure Calculation
Definition and purpose of design pressure
How design pressure is selected (operating margin, contingency factors)
Link to relief valve set pressure and vessel wall thickness
Understanding Design Temperature
Difference between operating and design temperature
Material considerations at different temperatures
Why low- and high-temperature scenarios matter in vessel design
🎯 Target Audience:
Fresh engineers, engineering students, and junior inspectors who are new to pressure vessel systems or preparing for roles in oil & gas, petrochemical, or plant operations.
