External Pressure Design Pipe Thickness Calculation using ASME B31.3/ASME BPVC Sec VIII Div-1

What you’ll learn
Introduction to Pipe Thickness Design
Scenarios where external pressure governs design
ASME B31.3 & ASME Section VIII Division 1 guidelines
External pressure charts & code equations
Step-by-step calculation methodology
Determining allowable working pressure
Practical case study with real ASME chart-based calculations

Requirements
A basic understanding of pipe thickness calculation based on internal design pressure or selection of pipe thickness will be an added advantage for the participant.

Description
Designing safe and reliable piping systems requires more than just selecting a material and thickness—it demands a clear understanding of how external pressure and vacuum conditions affect pipe stability. Unlike internal pressure design, where failure occurs due to bursting, external pressure design addresses the risk of buckling or collapse under compressive stresses.This specialized course is designed to give engineers and learners a comprehensive, step-by-step approach to calculating pipe thickness under external pressure or vacuum conditions. You will gain an in-depth understanding of ASME B31.3 and ASME Section VIII Division 1 guidelines, learn how to use external pressure charts and factors, and apply code equations effectively.Through structured lessons, we will explore:Fundamentals of external pressure design.Scenarios where external pressure governs thickness.Using ASME external pressure charts.Step-by-step calculation methods.Determining allowable working pressure.A practical case study with sample ASME chart-based calculations.By the end of this course, you will be able to confidently design piping systems under vacuum or external design pressure, ensuring safety, code compliance, and reliability.This course is ideal for piping engineers, mechanical engineers, process engineers, stress engineers, EPC professionals, and engineering students who wish to strengthen their expertise in pipe design and code-based calculations.Enroll today and gain the knowledge to handle one of the most critical aspects of piping design with confidence!
