My involvement with tank and pressure vessel design began in 1967 after graduation from college. With my first vocational endeavor, I became immediately aware that a formal engineering education, while providing an ample theoretical background, did not prepare me for many of the important practical aspects of mechanical design. Even today, very few, if indeed any, institutions of higher learning offer courses whose goal is the comprehensive coverage of national consensus documents such as the American Petroleum Institute (API) Standards and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code. When recently conducting research of the ASME Code interpretations, I was taken by the high percentage of requests from ASME Code officials and users of the ASME Code for clarifying explanations that dealt with pressure vessel openings. It occurred to me that the creation of a book specifically dealing with this subject might hopefully provide utility. Having previously authored an on-line continuing education course that was limited to pressure vessel openings …show more content…
The material presented here is based on my understanding and personal interpretation of the several standards and code. It should not be used as a substitute for the official publication's content that supersedes any information presented here. While every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information offered, the reader is reminded that the various standards and the code sections undergo frequent periodic revision. Consequently, while the base content of these documents and this book are relatively enduring, refinements and additions are inevitable. Interested and dedicated readers are strongly encouraged to periodically review current versions of the official publications in order to stay fully and accurately
Following the books style guide, I summarized the main steps in our process description. I then continued with arguments on why this technical description should be important to industrial engineering students, providing a sense of finality.
After the completion of ASCP Level II Core Course, I have learned new things such as understanding the difference between a person with a growth mindset and a fixed mindset. Gaining an understanding of these two different mindsets can help in dealing with individuals and knowing how to communicate with persons of these two different mindsets in my workplace. Another module that I will apply in the workplace are some of the basic methods of conflict resolution. I have learned to look for certain clues in recognizing a win/lose situation and how to start making the situation known that there is conflict present, and how important it is to try and come to a consensus in managing conflict in the workplace. I also enjoyed learning how to utilize
The purpose of this reference material is to assist you in reviewing your technical knowledge of selected topics listed in the CMA Entrance Examination Syllabus. The questions illustrate the range in type and depth of knowledge that may be tested in CMA Entrance Examination questions, but they do not represent simulations of the style and composition of CMA Entrance Examination questions. This material contains a selection of problems and
By securitizing the receivables, a larger organization can convert its accounts receivable into cash at once. Hence, individual receivables are combined into a new security and are then sold as an investment instrument. Since securities are backed by a liquid form of collateral, a securitization can result in an extremely low interest rate for the issuing entity. Criterions in ASC 860 states that, transfers in securitization transactions must be evaluated for sale accounting treatment. In addition, they must be evaluated for consolidation by the GAAP criteria, set fourth at ASC 810. Moreover, Securitizations are popular because investors want to acquire collateralized securities and firms with large amounts of receivables have incentives to

In the 1960s, the Institut Français du Pétrole tried to develop a flexible drilling system with a down-hole turbo-drill, called Flexoforage. But Flexoforage failed, however the flexible pipes already developed were found to be perfectly suited for offshore applications as production and export risers, also as flow lines, which were fully exploited, from the 1970s.(fundamentals of marine risers mechanics). Flexible pipe applications include water depths down to 8,000ft, high pressure up to 10,000 psi, and high temperatures above 150°F, as well as the ability to withstand large vessel motions in adverse weather conditions.
