This last decade has seen remarkable growth in the Asian Pacific region in the off-shore oil, petrochemical, power and process industries and the rapid change in these fields requires constant updating and reappraisal of the available and new technologies. The proceedings of the seminar will contain papers from representatives from many countries to address current technological issues and discuss engineering development and operating experiences. The proceedings will therefore greatly benefit those who wish to learn about the new developments in the areas of application of pressure vessels and piping technology.
