Special ASME Section X High Pressure Composite and Composite Reinforced Vessels
builds on the knowledge gained in the National Board online course, ASME
Section X: An Overview of Class I and Class II Vessels, and introduces two
new subjects: Class III fiber-reinforced (FRP) vessles with liners for
high-presure fluids in stationary services, and composite reinforced pressure
vessels (CRPVs) which have metallic shells with laminate reinforcement or
overwrap for high pressure service.
Additionally, students will learn about the roles of the Fabricator and the Manufacturer and how
to verfiy compliance during construction, qualification, and testing of these
Section X, Appendix 8 and Appendix 10 items.
Learning
