About this Training
This training program provides a structured path into the design of mechanical equipment used in industrial plants. It focuses on practical engineering application and code-based design.
It connects the main areas of mechanical equipment design: material selection, piping systems, pressure vessels, shell-and-tube heat exchangers and storage tanks. Through this approach, participants see how equipment is defined, calculated, verified and documented in industrial projects.
The course is suitable for participants with a technical background. It is especially relevant for those who want to develop or strengthen their practical design skills. At the same time, previous specific experience in the subject is not required. However, the course develops intermediate to advanced topics through codes, calculations and practical case studies.
The course is delivered 100% online and on-demand, allowing participants to study at their own pace. Instructor support will be provided through the consultation forum on the Virtual Campus. Participants will have one year of access to the platform to complete the course.
Course Outline
This course covers the main technical requirements and engineering practices needed to design mechanical equipment for industrial plants in accordance with commonly used codes and standards, including ASME B31, ASME Section VIII, TEMA and API 650.
Participants will learn how to define design conditions, identify applicable load cases, select suitable materials, evaluate corrosion considerations, calculate required thicknesses, and apply code-based design criteria to piping systems, pressure vessels, shell-and-tube heat exchangers and storage tanks.
The course also addresses design verification topics such as piping layout and flexibility, internal and external pressure, buried piping, nozzles and flanges, equipment supports, wind and seismic loads, stiffening elements, anchor bolts and tank stability. Practical case studies and calculation spreadsheets are used throughout the course to connect theoretical concepts with industrial design practice.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Identify the main types of mechanical equipment used in industrial plants and understand their functions.
- Interpret the role of ASME B31, ASME Section VIII, TEMA and API 650 in mechanical equipment design.
- Define design conditions and evaluate pressure, temperature, corrosion, wind, seismic and support-related loads.
- Select materials based on service conditions, corrosion mechanisms, mechanical properties and code requirements.
- Calculate required thicknesses for piping components, vessel shells, heads, heat exchanger elements and storage tank components.
- Apply design criteria to piping systems, pressure vessels, shell-and-tube heat exchangers and storage tanks.
- Design and verify nozzles, flanges, supports, stiffening rings, wind girders, anchor bolts and related structural elements.
- Assess piping layout, flexibility, pressure loss and buried piping design considerations.
- Verify storage tank stability under external pressure, wind and seismic loading.
- Use spreadsheets, real data sheets and practical case studies to validate design calculations and configurations.
This course is intended for:
- Graduates or soon-to-be graduates
- Designers
- Freelancers
- Technicians
- Engineers involved in calculation, design, selection, manufacturing, safety, quality, and maintenance of systems and equipment in industrial processes.
Prerequisite
Previous knowledge of this subject is not required to attend the course.
A technical background in engineering, industrial design, mechanical systems, process plants or a related discipline is recommended, as the course includes code references, engineering calculations and practical design cases.
- Intermediate
- Advanced
The course follows a self-guided, hands-on methodology based on the “learn by doing” concept.
Participants study the technical notes and summary videos, complete self-assessment quizzes, and apply the concepts through case studies and calculation sheets. The course does not require attendance at scheduled sessions, allowing participants to progress through the material according to their availability.
Instructor support is available during the course to help participants clarify technical questions related to the content and practical exercises.
