Seminars in Las Vegas will enhance your knowledge of pressure vessels and piping

In March, ASME Professional Development is offering a slate of seminars on pressure vessels, piping, pump and valve selection, and a number of other related topics.

The short courses will be given March 5-8 at Harrah's Las Vegas.

"ASME Section VIII, Div. 2, Pressure Vessels," from March 5-8, will provide a complete understanding of Division 2, including general requirements, materials, fabrication, testing, documentation and stamping. You will also learn how to design a vessel to Code and perform various types of analyses. Registration is $1,475 for ASME members, $1,575 for nonmembers.

"ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code: Section III, Div. 1, Requirements for Design and Manufacture of Nuclear Power Plant Components," from March 5-8, was created to assist professionals at technical organizations, utilities, equipment and materials manufacturers, installers, and insurance companies in the understanding of the Nuclear Code. Registration is $1,175 for members, $1,275 for nonmembers.

On March 5 and 6, "How to Predict Thermal-Hydraulic Loads on Pressure Vessels and Piping" will show you how to anticipate steady and unsteady thermal-hydraulic loading phenomena in the design or modification of a vessel or piping and component systems. You will also learn how to avoid or mitigate unwanted forces by selecting appropriate design parameters or restructuring a procedure. Registration is $795 for members, $895 for nonmembers.

"Pump and Valve Selection for Optimum System Performance," to be given March 5-8, will provide you with an understanding of pumps and valves and how they perform together for optimum system performance. You will also learn how to make cost-effective choices and avoid poor system operation. Registration is $1,095 for members, $1,195 for nonmembers.

From March 5-7, "Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD): Engineering Analysis and Applications" will give you a thorough overview of CFD for the analysis of multidimensional fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, chemical reaction, turbulence, and related processes encountered in practical applications. Registration is $915 for members, $1,015 for nonmembers.

The seminars "Understanding Chiller Performance, Operation and Economics," on March 5, and "Heating, Ventilating and Air-Conditioning Systems: Sizing and Design," to be given from March 6-8, can be taken together. Registration for "Understanding Chiller Performance" is $455 for members, $555 for nonmembers. Registration for "Heating, Ventilating and Air-Conditioning Systems" is $955 for members, $1,055 for nonmembers.
