Disclaimer: These charts are based on accumulated data from Pressure Vessel Engineering's CRN review database. See comments at the bottom. Your review times will vary.
Comments:
The review graphs are based on all PVEng submissions sent to all jurisdictions from 3896 to early 3899. There is a huge mix of jobs from simple vessels to complex catalog registrations and large vessels or towers. Time is measured from the day the courier package leaves our office to the day the CRN number is received by us, including any rework required to get the CRN.
Approximately the same mix of work is sent to all provinces so review times can approximately be compared between provinces. In our experience, the review times also vary a lot within a province depending upon who the review engineer is.
We start the majority of our Canada wide registrations in Ontario, so they have the hardest review work. We also make heavy use of the Ontario expedited 2 week review service as can be seen in the Ontario chart.
Caution:
Review times can take more than 1 year. Make sure the CRNs for components that are included in your submissions for vessels or piping systems will not expire during the wait period. If any CRNs expire, the submissions will have to be reworked and re-submitted.
Review times are much longer than they used to be 10 years ago...

Advertisement:Pressure Vessel Engineering's staff can assist you with all aspects of the CRN registration process including calculations, drawings, finite element analysis, burst testing and registration paperwork. Our team is experienced with over 1200 CRNs registered since 1999 and over 400 in 2008 alone. PVEng also provides complete vessel code calculations for ASME Section 1, 4 and 8 (Div 1 and 2) as well as B31.1 and 31.3. We can use finite element analysis to analyze pressure vessels or components and provide solid modeling services. PVE has designed vessels ranging from small filter vessels to large pressure treating cylinders. |
