ASME Code Calculation
Pressure Vessel Engineering Ltd. has over 10 years of ASME code design experience. We have completed thousands of projects ranging from small fittings to large reactors.
We hold the following codes in house, along with many others:
Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code
- ASME I - Construction of Power Boilers
- ASME II - Materials
- ASME III - Construction of Nuclear Facility Components
- ASME IV - Construction of Heating Boilers
- ASME VIII-1 / VIII-2 - Construction of Pressure Vessels
Piping Code
- ASME B31.1 Power Piping
- ASME B31.3 Process Piping
- ASME B31.4 Hydrocarbon Piping
- ASME B31.5 Refrigeration Piping
- ASME B31.8 Gas Transmission Piping
- ASME B31.11 Slurry Piping
Valves, Flanges & Fittings
- ASME B16.5 Flange & Flange Fittings
- ASME B16.47 Large Steel Flanges
- ASME B16.1 Grey Iron Flange & Flange Fittings
- ASME B16.3 Malleable Iron Flange & Flange Fittings
- ASME B16.11 Forged Fittings
- MSS-SP-67 Butterfly Valves
Pressure Vessel Engineering Ltd. uses both APV (Advanced Pressure Vessel) and PVElite commercial software coupled with our own unique spreadsheets to complete ASME code calculations. We can review existing designs or act as your in-house engineering department.
Below are several samples which are representative of ASME jobs we have completed. All of our sample jobs can be viewed here.

A Standard Audit Vessel?
This example shows ASME code calculations completed for a horizontal vessel. As ASME does not provide a calculation method for the support saddles a "Zick" analysis is completed. This example discusses the effects of saddles on a design and provides an example saddle calculation.
This example shows ASME code calculations for a vertical vessel. Pressure Vessel Engineering Ltd., regularly completes ASME code review on vessels similar to this. This example includes leg support calculations accounting for seismic loadings as well as review of a pad flange.
This example shows calculations completed for some difficult to design items such as large nozzles, swing bolt covers and lugs, cone discontinuities, and ferrules. Pressure Vessel Engineering Ltd. has extensive experience analyzing these and other obscure items. We have completed thousands of projects with features such as this, many used for Canadian or National Board registration.
This example shows a vertical vessel with several features associated with this type of design. ASME code calculations addressing skirt, cone, and seismic and wind conditions are shown.
Pressure Vessel Engineering has extensive experience completing code calculations (ASME & TEMA) for plate as well as shell and tube heat exchangers. This example shows a heat exchanger calculated in accordance with ASME VIII-1 UHX for the seven possible load cases.
PVEng has completed ASME code calculations for hundreds of piping systems. Canadian registration (CRN) is typically required for piping systems operating above 15 psi. Registration of piping can be confusing as the requirements vary from province to province and are not well documented. This example details a simple system calculations and drawings. We would be happy to discuss your requirements and help guide you through the registration process.
This example shows calculations completed for the addition of a nozzle to an existing vessel. While the calculations are very simple the registration requirements of a used vessel can be complex. Calculations must be completed in accordance with the original code of construction. Ultrasonic testing may also be required to confirm the current condition of the vessel.
