📘 Introduction: Welcome to Module 1

Engineer’s Digest 2025 – Skill Upgrade Series

Pressure vessels are critical components in many industrial systems—from oil refineries to chemical plants and power stations. These vessels are designed to safely contain fluids under pressure, a task that requires careful attention to engineering principles, materials, and international codes.

In this module, you’ll gain a foundational understanding of:

• What pressure vessels are and why they matter
• How different codes like ASME Section VIII govern their design and safety
• The types and classifications of pressure vessels
• Key exclusions and scope limitations under ASME VIII Div 1

By the end of this module, you'll be equipped with the essential terminology, code references, and technical concepts needed to navigate pressure vessel design and applications with confidence.

Let’s begin your journey into the world of pressure vessels.
