Engineering to Codes
Engineering design and analysis (stress, thermal, and fatigue) to codes including AWS, API, and ASME (B&PV, piping, and BTH), ensuring equipment structural integrity.
Benefits of Engineering Design and Analysis Services
- Maximized equipment reliability: Design and analysis identify failure risks before fabrication or operation, extending equipment life and reducing unplanned downtime.
- Compliance with industry codes: Analysis to ASME Section VIII, Divisions 1, 2, and 3; ASME B31.1 and B31.3; and other applicable codes and standards.
- Optimized cost control: Finite element analysis (FEA) shows where material can be reduced while meeting code requirements, lowering capital and operating costs.
- Safety: Fatigue, vibration, seismic, and fracture mechanics analyses identify potential failure modes so they can be addressed before they cause injury or damage.
| Services Offered | Benefits | Risks Addressed |
|---|---|---|
| Pressure Vessel & Process Equipment Design | High reliability, code compliance, cost-effective design | Leakage, non-compliance penalties |
| Fatigue & Fracture Mechanics Analysis | Early detection of failure modes, improved safety | Failure due to undetected fatigue cracks |
| Thermal & Transient Analysis | Managing temperature-induced stresses | Distortion, material degradation, leakage risks |
| Finite Element Analysis (FEA) | Reduced physical testing costs, faster design iteration | Undetected stress concentrations, premature failure |

Mechanical Engineering
We designed and analyzed a set of elevated-temperature pressure vessels. One vessel was specified for a no-leak condition – and the challenge was attaching the hemispherical head to the shell without distortion from temperature differences between them.
We subsequently designed a series of clamps to seal the two together.
