PED Lab Questions
Q.1 What is engineering design?
Q.2 What is the difference between the S.O.M and Design?
Q.3 What do you mean by standardization in design? It plays a
major role in the design of any component.
Q.4 Explain the role of ASME in standardizing engineering
practices. How do ASME codes benefit industries, especially in
process equipment design?
Q.5-Describe the different sections of the ASME BPVC. Why
is it important for engineers to be familiar with these sections
when designing boilers and pressure vessels?
Q.6 Discuss why the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code
(BPVC) is essential for the design, construction, and
maintenance of pressure vessels. How does the BPVC ensure
safety and reliability in pressure vessel operations?
Q.7 How does ASME BPVC Section VIII (Pressure Vessels) help
in the design and safety of pressure vessels? Discuss its
relevance to high-pressure operations and potential risks in
industrial applications.
Q.8 What are the testing requirements under ASME BPVC for
newly manufactured pressure vessels? Describe the
importance of hydrostatic testing and non-destructive
examination (NDE) techniques.
Q.9 Discuss how ASME BPVC ensures the inspection and
maintenance of pressure vessels in operation. How do periodic
inspections affect the longevity and safety of pressure vessels?
Q.10 Explain the role of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in
industrial equipment design. How do BIS standards differ from
ASME standards?
Q.11 Describe the significance of BIS in ensuring the quality
and safety of products in India. How do BIS codes benefit the
manufacturing industry?
design.
Q.12 Explain the ASME BPVC code requirements for designing
pressure vessels to withstand internal pressure. Why is it
essential to comply with these standards?
Q.13 Discuss the different types of stresses experienced by the
wall of a pressure vessel under internal pressure.
Q.14 Describe how the thickness of a pressure vessel’s shell is
determined for a given internal pressure and material. How
does increasing the vessel’s thickness influence its strength
and safety?
Q.15 What criteria are used to select materials for internal
pressure vessels? How do properties like tensile strength,
toughness, and corrosion resistance play a role in material
selection?
Q.16 Describe the different types of heads used in pressure
vessels (e.g., hemispherical, torispherical, ellipsoidal, and flat
heads). What are the advantages and disadvantages of each
head type under internal pressure?
Q.17 Explain the procedure for calculating the thickness of a
pressure vessel head based on internal pressure and material
strength. Why does each head type have a unique formula for
thickness?
Q.18 Describe the functions of nozzles in a pressure vessel.
How do nozzles impact the design, safety, and functionality of
the vessel?
Q.19 Describe the different types of supports used for
pressure vessels (e.g., saddle, leg, skirt, and bracket supports).
What factors influence the choice of support type?
Q.20 Analyze a case study of a pressure vessel failure caused
by poor design. What design elements could have prevented
this failure, and what lessons can be learned?
Q.21 Write the difference between internal pressure vessel
and external pressure vessel. Also explain the different mode
of failure of these pressure vessels.
Q.22 Describe the type of joint. Also stare there role with a
suitable application
Q.33 Write the difference between weld joint and bolt joint .
