Course description
Properties of Materials
With time, significant improvements have been made to metal compositions to ensure increased safety, operability, and reliability of the finished product in the field. These improvements have been documented in standards such as American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Knowledge of these standards is crucial to understanding design and fabrication specifications. This skill module provides an overview of the standards that impact the design and fabrication of pressure vessels.
