Pressure Equipment Design & Piping Engineering

This course covers basic knowledge about the design of pressure equipment and engineering of piping systems. The learning material is compiled from the sessions conducted for my students during the pandemic period.

Kindly note that most of the calculations covered in these sessions are the simplified versions of the detailed calculations which need to be performed by a practicing design engineer.
