• Increase Your Knowledge of the ASME Code
  Enhance your understanding through three days of intensive training and practical problem solving. As you will be working directly with the Code, we recommend that you bring your Code book if you have one. To illustrate the application of Code rules to actual design, Codeware’s COMPRESS software will be used.
• Learn Directly From One of Industry’s Leading Engineers
  Don has been working with Section VIII, Division 1 for over 33 years. He is currently a member of the External Pressure Committee (1999-present) as well as the Heat Transfer Equipment (Section VIII) Committee (2007-present). From 1989 to 1999 Don was a member of the Special Working Group - Bolted Flanged Joints (SC-D). From 1999 to 2001 he was a member of the Post Construction Subcommittee on Repair and Testing.
