Wednesday, 10 September 2025 / 9 am to 5 pm

490,- €

Description:

How to avoid the most common mistakes when using ASME Code material! You will concisely learn the basics of Section II for ASME material. This course will also focus on the specific requirements from the construction codes for pressure vessels and boilers. Further important topics are material testing (impact, tensile, etc.), the use of non-ASME material and recertification, filler materials, correct material certificates and marking, yield/tensile/creep strength as a basis of allowable stress values, ASME Code compliant wording for material purchase orders.

The course language is English.

Key points of the course:

• Content and structure of ASME Code Section II

  • Part A: Ferrous Materials

  • Part B: Nonferrous Materials

  • Part C: Filler metals

  • Part D: Material Properties

• Certification of material - What do ASME compliant certificates look like?

• Difference between ASME and ASTM material

• When is supplemental testing required? How is it to be performed?

• How to order material in an ASME Code compliant way?

• Permissible materials for the construction of boilers and pressure vessels

• Material requirements for non-pressure retaining items

• Recertification of material

• Which requirements have to be followed for the marking of material?

• Which options exist regarding the use of EN or "Non ASME Material" in general?
