Certified Individual: Pressure Relief Valves
ASME Section IV, is an online course
designed for
Manufacturers of ASME Section IV pressure relief valves when preparing their employees for

provides activities specific to the type of valve being manufactured as well as the
service for which the valve is being manufacturered (heating boiler or hot water
heater).
This course consists of modules covering scope, selection, material
requirements, capacity certification, manufacturing requirements, and
marking and certification. The last module provides a final assessment
consisting of a 20 question multiple-choice test. A minimum score of 70% is
required to pass the assessment and the course.
