Modern pressure vessel software has evolved far beyond basic code compliance checks, becoming a fully integrated engineering environment where structural integrity, piping interactions, and design governance converge. One of the most significant advancements in this space is […]
Pressure vessels are critical components in industries ranging from oil and gas to pharmaceuticals, where their safety and reliability are paramount. To ensure their stability throughout their lifecycle, it is essential to consider not just their design […]
Designing static equipment in accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division 1 (ASME VIII DIV.1) requires careful consideration of material toughness, especially for vessels operating in low-temperature environments. Impact testing, typically Charpy V-notch, […]
Thin cylindrical shells under external pressure – such as those found in vacuum vessels, underwater pipelines, and jackets – are vulnerable to elastic buckling. The safe design of such shells is addressed by two main regulatory traditions: […]
Introduction Nozzle local load analysis is a critical aspect of pressure vessel and piping design. External forces and moments from connected piping can significantly impact the integrity of the nozzle-shell junction, potentially leading to failure if not […]
Introduction Nozzle openings in pressure vessels weaken the pressure boundary, requiring adequate compensation to maintain structural integrity. Examination of nozzles is a critical part in pressure vessel calculations, hence this article examines the main methods for nozzle […]
Pressure vessel analysis traditionally focuses on containing gases or liquids, where pressure calculations are well-established. However, when handling bulk materials such as pellets, powders, or granules, the pressure distribution inside the vessel differs significantly from that of […]
Verification under external pressure is one of the most critical aspects of pressure vessel design due to the risk of elastic or inelastic buckling. The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) provides two primary divisions for […]
EN 13445 code is the European standard for the design and construction of unfired pressure vessels, ensuring safety and performance through rigorous material selection, design calculations, and testing procedures. While the code provides a comprehensive framework for […]
Introduction The increasing complexity of static equipment design has led to the widespread adoption of specialized pressure vessel software. These tools automate calculations, ensuring compliance with ASME, EN, and other design codes. However, should commercial software fully […]
