Welcome to ICPVT-13

ICPVT-13 in May 2012 is the opportunity for engineers engaged with pressure equipment from across the world and from different companies, universities and research organisations, to meet and exchange new ideas, knowledge and experience.

The expansion of the global market for new equipment in the nuclear and petrochemical sectors, the management of ageing assets, and developments and harmonisation of national legislation and codes and standards are the major themes. Issues and means for controlling quality in international markets and supply chains for the procurement of new pressure equipment materials and fabrications will also be discussed. The needs of developing engineers are covered through a series of topical teach-ins. A prestigious speaker will give the Roy Nichols memorial lecture on a issue of wide international importance. There is also a chance for break-out and panel sessions on particular technical subjects.    

ICPVT is organised by the ICPVT European and African Committee. It is hosted by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers supported by its Pressure Systems Group. The conference is being held in central London two months before the Olympic Games, so the city should be looking its best.

In addition, there will be technical visits as well as the usual social events and partners programme. Make ICPVT-13 in London 2012 a date in your diary.
