With the global transition to a net-zero energy economy, and the concurrent technical challenges to delivering it, pressure systems engineers are pivotal enablers in securing our future. Developments in nuclear fission and fusion technologies, oil, gas, and chemicals processing, hydrogen, carbon capture, renewables, all require input from this community. Pressure Vessel Technology XV discusses a wide range of topics, including:
- Updates to regulations and industry guidance Design and integrity assessment of pressure equipment
- Developments in international pressure equipment codes and standards Manufacture, fabrication, and installation of assemblies
- Developments in materials 3rd party inspection, certification, and conformity assessment Non-destructive testing and examination In-service management and life extension of pressure equipment Industry 4.0, condition monitoring techniques, and digital twins
- Case studies of international projects and lessons learned
Pressure Vessel Technology XV is aimed at professionals and academics involved or interested in the above mentioned subject topics.
