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. ”
