ASME SEC. VIII, DIV. 1 PRESSURE VESSEL DESIGN |
“This course combines theoretical and practical explanations to provides useful knowledge of the ASME Section VIII Div 1 codes and standards. It is useful for all engineers who want to their skills set about pressure vessel. Course is well organized, and example questions provide excellent explanation of the material. ”
— Mechanical Engineer, Becht, United States
“Enjoyed the deep knowledge and experience of the instructor. This always makes for better learning of the subject. It was nice that the class was a small group for interaction. This course really helped me get a much better understanding of section VIII. Thank you, Don.”
— Hemlock Semiconductor, United States
“Practical Practice Examples were good although looking for the problem/resource materials and any additional documents was sometimes confusing and difficult in an Online format. Don was willing to answer questions when asked and follow up later if he did not have an answer immediately available. ”

Don Kurle, P.E. has over 30 years experience in mechanical design and analysis of pressure vessels and heat exchangers in the chemical and petrochemical industries. He also has experience in minimum design metal temperature (MDMT), fitness for service (FFS), reratings and minimum thickness evaluations of pressure vessels and heat exchangers.
Mr. Kurle spent several years with a major pressure vessel and heat exchanger computer software company as a technical support engineer assisting clients with technical issues related to application of the program. He also developed and presented training classes in the use of the vessel design program and ASME Code. Mr. Kurle holds a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, Rapid City, SD. He is a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the American Welding Society (AWS). Mr. Kurle is a co-owner of a patent for a tubular reactor in the US and Europe. Mr. Kurle’s ASME Code Committee activities include Vice Chair Subgroup External Pressure (BPV II), member Subgroup Design (BPV VIII), Vice Chair Subgroup Toughness (BPV II & BPV VIII) and member Subgroup Heat Transfer Equipment (BPV VIII). Mr. Kurle is a past member of Repair and Testing (PCC) and Special Working Group Bolted Flanged Joints committees. |

Nathan Barkley, P.E. has nearly 15 years of experience with mechanical design and analysis of pressure vessels and heat exchangers in the refining and chemical industries. Prior to joining Becht, he was the Lead Design Engineer at a world-class fabrication company building ASME Section VIII, Division 1 and Division 2 equipment. He has extensive experience with ASME and API codes and standards for new and post construction. In addition to basic pressure vessel design per Section VIII of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, his experience includes design by analysis for the failure modes of Division 2 Part 5, design certification, fitness for service, rerating, alteration, repairs, and inspection.
Mr. Barkley is actively involved in ASME as a voting member or contributor to the Section VIII Subgroup committees on General Requirements, Design, and High Pressure Vessels. He also holds leadership positions within the ASME Pressure Vessels and Piping Conference and has published several peer reviewed conference papers on pressure vessel design. Mr. Barkley holds a MS degree in Mechanical Engineering and certificate in Engineering Mechanics from Missouri University of Science and Technology and a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Mississippi. He is a licensed Professional Engineer in the state of Texas and holds an inspector certification in API 510. |
