Are you tasked with the design or fabrication of pressure vessels, but are not sure where to begin with code requirements? This training course is a comprehensive introduction to the requirements of the current edition of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC), Section VIII, Division 1. It provides a unique insight into the background and organization of the code and covers the design and construction requirements of the Code along with the requirements applicable to materials, fabrication, inspection, testing, and certification of pressure vessels. The course also highlights the most commonly applied subsections, paragraphs, and appendices.

Video recordings of Live Virtual Classroom sessions taught by ASME’s expert Instructor are included to explain how to complete a user design requirement (UDR) form, select materials, identify design load conditions, determine post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) requirements, prepare data reports, perform relevant example calculations on formed and flat heads, nozzle reinforcement, axial compression, and much more!

By participating in this course, you will learn how to successfully:

  • Describe scope, purpose, and organization of the ASME BPV Code, Section VIII, Division 1: Rules for the Construction of Pressure Vessels
  • Define allowable materials, explain how to reclassify materials and identify material traceability requirements
  • Explain how to apply the Code rules to common design and fabrication situations
  • Identify the calculations for some of the loadings and situations not addressed by the Code
  • Describe the preparation of design specifications, design reports, data reports, and other documentation

Who should attend?

Engineers and technical professionals from repair organizations, inspection agencies and other organizations involved with inspection, repair, and alternation of pressure equipment. Intended for manufacturers, users, owners, constructors, designers, and others concerned with the design, fabrication, assembly, erection, examination, inspection, and testing of pressure vessels, plus all potential governing entities. Learners seeking introductory pressure vessel design training or refresher training on the latest version of ASME BPV Code, Section VIII, Division 1.


  • Course participants are expected to have:Access to computer equipment and a reliable internet connection
  • A calculator
  • Software to display PDF files (such as Adobe Reader)

Supplemental Course Materials (not included with course, purchase separately)

Recommend access to the current edition of ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC), Section VIII, Division I: Rules for Construction of Pressure Vessels.


A Certificate of Completion will be issued to registrants who successfully complete this course.
