Training : Course Description: ASME Section III and Section XI

ASME Section III AND Section XI Design and Analysis

October 21-23, 2008

Location:

Entergy-Palisades Nuclear Plant
South Haven Conference Center
410 Blue Star Highway
South Haven, MI 49090


This course teaches plant engineers ASME Section III and Section XI criteria and rules for design and evaluation of plant components. Section III and Section XI training can be selected separately or in one course. This knowledge is invaluable for in-house design, replacement, repair, or re-evaluation decisions for plant components.

These courses provide engineers with the fundamental, practical, and design knowledge required for ASME Section III and Section XI application to pressure vessels and piping. Attendees gain a basic understanding of the Code and its application to practical, cost-effective designs (as illustrated by practical examples). The course can be customized to specific client needs. The Section II/Section XI courses can also be combined with SI’s Metal Fatigue and Fracture Mechanics course that also includes discussion of Section III and Section XI.
