ASME to Offer Code Courses in Dubai ASME to Offer Code Courses in Dubai ASME to Offer Code Courses in DubaiASME will present a special four-day training event next month in Dubai focusing on three of the organizations most popular continuing codes and standards continuing education courses for engineers and technical professionals. The courses, which will be offered from June 23-26 at the Intercontinental Dubai Festival City, have been specifically selected to concentrate on different sections of ASMEs internationally recognized Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC), including pressure vessels (Section VIII) and Welding and Brazing Qualifications (Section IX), as well as the related Process Piping Code (B31.3). Each course will be taught by an ASME-approved instructor who is an expert in their respective field. B31.3 Process Piping Code (course 643) introduces the B31.3 Process Piping Code and covers its requirements for design, analysis, materials, fabrication, testing and inspection of process piping systems. The four-day course will be instructed by Jim Meyer, who has more than 40 years experience in refining petrochemical, chemical, power generation and industrial facilities. Meyer has also been involved and held leadership roles with the ASME B31.1 and ASME B31.3 Section committees for more than 35 years. He was recently elected chairman of the ASME B31 Standard Committee.The three-day course BPV Code Section VII, Division 1 Design and Fabrication of Pressure Vessels (course PD442) provides a comprehensive introduction to Section VIII, Division I of the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Rules for Construction of Pressure Vessels. It will be taught by Robert Kauer, a Dipl.-Ing. and Dr.-Ing. with nearly 30 years experience handling projects related to design, structural reliability, Fitness for Service, and inspection program development for nuclear and non-nuclear applications in pressure vessel and piping technology. He is an ASME Authorized Inspector Supervisor and a member of various U.S. and European ASME code committees.BPV Code Section IX Welding and Brazing Qualifications, (course PD645), also a three-day course, covers the layout, scope and use of Section IX of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, including explanations and demonstrations of the rules for qualification of welding and brazing procedures and personnel. This course will be led by Bob McReynolds, a licensed Professional Engineer with 20 years of experience as a welding and metallurgical engineer in the defense and infrastructure industries, including engineering and quality roles on nuclear power plant modifications, repairs and new constructions and who currently works in Abu Dhabi.The three courses will be produced in Dubai by Eram Group, an ASME Authorized Training Provider. We are excited about bringing our training programs for mechanical engineers and technical professionals to Dubai, said Jackie Oppenheim, directo r of ASME Training Development. Clearly, the Middle East is one of the most important regions in the world for the Oil Gas and Petrochemical Industries, and ASME is pleased to respond to the regions increasing demand for technical training, particularly with respect to ASME codes and standards.
