Pressure systems engineering, is a diverse, exciting and varied area within the field of engineering.

The discipline spans a whole range of activities, integrating professional engineering with systems knowledge of boilers, pressure vessels, heat-exchangers, pipework and safety devices. Examples of work in this area are critical assessments, manufacturing, inspection, non-destructive engineering, operations, asset care, plant ageing, legislation, metallurgy, research, safety systems, stress analysis, codes and standards.

The field is rapidly evolving; there is a huge need for engineering input and there are excellent job prospects for graduates. Employment can be found within companies working on the design, development and manufacture of pressure equipment, in power stations, looking at generation of energy from nuclear, fossil and thermal systems, in refineries and chemical plants looking at process systems, with government regulatory agencies and government or academic research facilities.

The aim of the Pressure Systems Group (PSG) is to bring together key workers from manufacturing, process, power engineering and research and to discuss the latest advances and issues, to enable networking among different industry leaders, and to promote this growing field to all engineering professionals and the wider public.

We offer:

• a range of seminars
• courses in conjunction with Strathclyde University
• a Pressure Systems Newsletter
• short, informative Webinars broadcast both live and repeated
• Donald Julius Groen Prize for pressure systems engineers
