Course detail
Construction of Medical and Biotechnological Equipment
FCH-BC_KSAcad. year: 2022/2023
Students will be briefly familiarise with materials used in process of equipment and components constructions in small productions-tonnage chemical, pharmacy, biotechnology and medical industry. The special materials manufacturing will be presented to students, as well as the material characteristics, heat treatment, connection of komponent (welding and threaded joint). The fundamentals of stess and strain calculation in the design of equipment will be presented, qualification process, calculation of wall thickness, principle of maintenance. The special specification of equipment indicated for pharmacy production will be presented.

3. Design of technological apparatuses, basic principles (technological, strength, economical, and lifespan factors).
4. Selection of material for production units, corrosion protection and surface treatment. Production of metallurgical material, standards for its assortment.
5. Destructive material testing.
6. Overview of materials connecting (welding, pressing, screwed joints and their sealing). Welding methods, welds marking on drawings. Legislative demands on tightness.
7. Overview of weld defects. Forms of crack formation (hot, cold, lamellar, annealing). Testing of weld joints.
8. Design of wall thickness for pipelines, vessels and apparatuses under inner or external overpressure, own weight, and vibrations.
9. Degradation mechanisms on equipment (material fatigue, effect of increased
10. Evaluation of lifetime of production equipment on the basis of their design and construction, production method, degradation mechanisms and loading history.
11. Reliability of equipment, assessment of risk of failure and accident.
12. Non-destructive tests in production and during equipment operation (visual, ultrasound, radiation, capillary).
13. Operating of technological systems (control, maintenance, tests, monitoring, qualification, legislative requirements).
