Designs complex pressure vessels and heat exchangers under multiple loading conditions. Includes comprehensive global and regional pressure design code standards. Automatically generates detailed drawings and 3D models in minutes. Ensures compliance with TEMA and regional wind/seismic load standards
ASME B16.34-2020 covers flanged, threaded, and welding end valves. Standard includes 8 main sections covering various valve types and requirements. Contains 12 mandatory appendices and 10 non-mandatory appendices
Cylinder stress is rotational symmetry stress distribution. Three principal stresses: hoop, axial, and radial. Hoop stress is force perpendicular to axis and radius
Pressure vessel holds gases or liquids at significantly different pressure from ambient. Design and operation regulated by engineering authorities with specific codes. Safety regulations vary by country, including ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code
Hydrostatic testing evaluates pressure vessels for strength and leaks. Vessels are filled with water or oil and pressurized to specified levels. Leaks can be detected using colored water or visual inspection. Test pressure is typically 143-166.66% of the operating pressure
Standard specifies requirements for design, construction, inspection and testing of unfired pressure vessels. Applies to vessels with maximum pressure greater than 0.5 bar gauge. Excludes vessels subject to direct heat or flame impingement from fired processes
