Pressure Vessel Analysis By Part 5
As technologies change with ever increasing demands of energy and performance, so too must our solutions. More and more projects require nonstandard features or loading capabilities that are not covered by the typical ASME Part 4 Design By Rule or able to be evaluated by COMPRESS. At the current rate of cutting edge R&D, Part 4 may never catch up to modern needs. This can be a challenging hurdle for many pressure vessel designers and firms who have not built up an internal infrastructure or process for these increasingly common cases.
This is where Epsilon provides a valuable specialized resource, providing Part 5 Design By Analysis using FEA to be PE stamped and BPVC certified. Our efforts have saved customers countless designer headaches and budgets.
If you have a project requiring Part 5 evaluation or think that it might, contact us and see if our partnership will be the right fit.
Areas of expertise include:
- Fatigue analysis for pressure, thermal, hydrostatic, environmental and other loading cycles over entire vessel and support structure
- Thermal-structural analysis including extremes of cryogenic and autoclave temperatures
- Pneumatic, hydraulic and vacuum pressure vessels
- Weld evaluations including fillets, partial penetration and fatigue
