Description:
ASME Code vessels
don't always have to
be "fatter"!
Following a brief
general introduction
into the ASME Code,
the participants
will be made
familiar with the
applicable ASME Code
Section VIII,
Division 1 design
requirements.
Many different
practical examples
and exercises will
offer a deep insight
into the ASME Code
specific design
rules. During the
course, the
participants will
calculate typical
pressure components
on their own,
assisted by an
experienced design
engineer who is also
an Authorized
Inspector Supervisor.
Having attended this
course the
applicants have the
necessary basic
knowledge to perform
their own design
calculations and/or
review such
calculations for
Code compliance.
The course language
is English.

Michael
Michael Frohnert's main field of activities is preparing and reviewing design calculations according to the ASME Code and other international Codes and Standards for the plant and mechanical engineering industries as well as performing ASME inspections and audits. During the early part of his career he qualified in the ASME Code business as an ASME Authorized Inspector and went on to become an experienced Authorized Inspector Supervisor and ASME Authorized Training Instructor. He also holds a National Board endorsement as Authorized Nuclear Inspector. Michael has held numerous public courses and tailor-made in-company trainings and workshops covering a wide range of topics. His in-depth involvement in the practical application of the ASME design rules is a very beneficial and valuable feature of his work as training instructor.
