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. See you in Houston!
Schedule: This course commences at 8:30 AM and ends at 5:30 PM local time, each day, with breaks scheduled throughout.
May Venue: This course will be held at the The Grand America Hotel in conjunction with ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code Week. Please follow this link for hotel reservations.

A practical introduction into performance analysis of centrifugal compressors, this course offers a thorough examination of the thermodynamic processes used to model the compression process along with a description of the design limitations of the various process parameters. Using case studies, the course demonstrates common errors in process data, compressor fouling, off-design operation, and potential re-rates. Participants enter actual process data into a compressor performance program and evaluate the results.
By participating in this course, you will learn how to successfully:
- Describe the different thermodynamic processes and parameters of head, efficiency, and power
- Explain the relationship between compressor and system curves
- Explain the effect of inlet gas density on compressor performance
- Diagnose fouling and the effect of flow on thrust load
- Measure compressor performance in the field and how to interpret the results
Who should attend?
This course is designed for mechanical or chemical engineers with a minimum of 2-3 years of process plant experience.
Course Materials (included in purchase of course)
Digital course notes via ASME's Learning Hub
Supplemental Course Materials (not included with course, purchase separately)
Compressor Performance, Aerodynamics for the User, by M. Theodore Gresh.
