Course Descriptions
This course is the main specialized course for the 
speciality of process equipment and control engineering. 
The purpose is to let students get familiar with categories and 
relevant codes and standards, understand the knowledge about 
pressure vessel materials, master the basic principles and 
methods for the design of pressure vessels and get to know 
about the main structures of chemical equipment. The main 
contents of the course include stress ****ysis of pressure vessels, 
selection of pressure vessel materials, design of pressure vessels 
and structure design of typical pressure vessels, etc.

Assignment
Exercises are assigned and collected each week. There are about 50 exercises in total. Delay or unsubmitted exercises should be less than 20%, or the final grade asses**ent will be affected.
Discussing of exercises is encouraged, but the final work must be finished independently. Any list or copy of the other clas**ates' exercises will be considered violate academic morals, and the serious will be zeroed in mark and could be reported to the university committee for student discipline-violating treatment.

Evaluation Approaches
There will be 8 **all tests in the class. Each test lasts about 10 minutes and students are not informed in advance. The final examination will last 120 minutes and the exact time will be informed in advance about two weeks. Students must finish the tests or examinations independently. Any cheat behaviour will be reported to the university committee for student discipline-violating treatment.   

Asses**ent System
The final grade comes from two parts: one is the mark of the final examination which accounts for 80%, another is ordinary asses**ent (including assignment, **all tests and attendance rate) which accounts for 20%.
