Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Services to Ensure Equipment Integrity, Safety & Reliability
Finite element analysis services on vessels, heat exchangers, skids and other power / process / manufacturing equipment. This includes stress, thermal, vibration, and fatigue finite element analysis techniques – to ensure equipment structural integrity, performance, safety and reliability.
We provide both design/ analysis of new equipment as well as analysis of operating equipment to codes including AWS, API, and ASME. The benefits of FEA Analysis include:
- Creating a Stronger, Safer Product – often parts fail prematurely in fatigue. FEA determines where weaknesses are, and is used to create a stronger design
- Reduce Unneeded Material – areas with low stresses add needless weight & cost to the part
- Determine the Strength of a Part – FEA Analysis can predict under what conditions an object will fail and whether it will meet code even without testing
We have extensive experience performing FEA Analysis on a wide range of components, including furnaces, conveyors, vessels, and welded/non-welded assemblies operating in ambient & extreme environments. Should equipment have limited life, we develop improved designs and/or repair procedures.
