Course detail
Construction of Process Equipment I
FSI-KKPAcad. year: 2024/2025
The course is focused on basics of structural design of process equipment, especially pressure vessels, apparatuses, reactors, tanks and piping systems. It includes material and structural requirements of equipment and its fabrication and assembly methods. There is also introduction to basic theory for strength calculations that are required by standards used in practice.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
Active attendance at seminars is checked. Apart from that, seminar part of the course is accomplished when a student gains enough points within a special system. The system is still under development, nevertheless it usually contains two tests and ten homeworks.
Aims
Ability to choose materials, structural details and to design basic dimensions of simple pressure equipment and tanks. Application of knowledge in subsequent study in area of structural design as well as in area of residual lifetime calculations of equipment.
