Welcome Back!
The ability to interact with ASME instructors who bring real world experience, examples, and best practices to life in our learning experiences is a major reason learners choose face to face training. Networking with peers is also a valuable part of the time spent together during a course. We are excited to start offering these important courses again in person.
Schedule: This course commences at 9 AM and ends at 5 PM local time, each day, with breaks scheduled throughout.
Venue: This course will be held at the Shell Energy Transition Campus, in Amsterdam, in conjunction with ASME B31.3 Process Piping Code Week. Please follow this link for venue and hotel information and to learn more about Code Week.

This course provides an introduction to the design of hydrogen storage cylinders leveraging the rules and methods of ASME Section VIII focusing primarily on ASME BPV Code, Section VIII, Division 3, 2023 edition, and Code Case 2938, “Hydrogen Crack Growth Rate Constants.” The course provides an overview of ASME Standards relating to hydrogen service and identifies resources for locating current standards for hydrogen. It covers the requirements for the design, analysis, materials, fabrication, testing and inspection of hydrogen storage cylinders.
This course explores the application of ASME Section VIII, B&PVC, Division 1, Division 2, and Division 3 and the impact that each makes on the life of a vessel. It explores the impact of hydrogen environment on the life of the cylinders compared to other inert environments. Additionally, it examines the state of the testing in the industry to support the production of hydrogen cylinders and testing that is required for a life assessment using ASME Section VIII, Division 3.
This course features comparative case studies on Type I cylinders when produced to ASME Section VIII.
By participating in this course, you will learn how to successfully:
- Locate ASME standards and publications related to hydrogen and hydrogen storage.
- Evaluate the benefits of each of the ASME Section VIII Divisions (1,2,3) in the design of hydrogen storage cylinders.
- Define the “total” life of a vessel in cyclic service and identify the differences between traditional S-N fatigue assessment methods and fracture mechanics-based crack growth.
- Recognize the current state of the industry regarding testing for the impact of hydrogen on steel vessels and vessel components.
Who should attend?
This course is designed for engineers, managers and hydrogen storage and fueling station operators who are involved in the specification, design, manufacturing, fabrication and examination of hydrogen storage equipment either for industrial uses or hydrogen fueling stations.
