Pressure Vessel Engineering
Pressure Vessel Engineering
(OP)
I have been in engineering for about two years now. I am a pretty good designer and would like to advance my careers now. I am in Oklahoma and the best jobs for the surrounding area are for Drilling Engineers, Pump Engineers, or Pressure Vessel Engineers. I would like to get into the pressure vessel arena, but most places ask for years of experience or detailed knowledge. Obviously if I cannot get into the area for expertise, I can never have years of experience. However, I can learn detailed knowledge. Can anyone advise me of where to start for the path to becoming a Pressure Vessel Engineer? I love math and MathCAD so I figure this would be great for me. Thanks.

Along with the pressure vessel shops there are a number of good heat exchanger and boiler vendors that could be worth considering in the Tulsa-Oklahoma City area. The ASME Code would be useful as well as TEMA design rules for that design work. Several companies would be Kentube, Optimus, Technotherm, and Victory Energy.
A lot of work is also done for gas processing plants.

In addition to learning the codes, having the ability to use codware products will make you very, very desirable in the pressure vessel market.

However, you should consider also the pressure vessel engineering future, as the main design tool in near future will be the FEA (take my word, the old cook book ASME VIII will fade in the oblivion pretty soon...).

If you are FEA oriented consider learning FEPipe,
www.paulin.com, gr2vessels is right, but I think having a good understanding div1 is important.

Good starting point is the Chemical Engineering Handbook by Perry and Mechanical Engineering Handbook by Kent. You will also find an abundant supply of technical info. on-line.
