Solid Modeling & Drafting at PVEng

Pressure Vessel Engineering Ltd. has completed thousands of solid models and drafting packages for our customers since 1999. Our experience ensures that the job will be complete, accurate, and on time. We can complete full fabrication drawing packages, general assembly drawings and registration drawings with full solid models (SolidWorks) or classical prints (AutoCAD).

Shown below are examples of AutoCAD and Solid Model jobs; all of our sample jobs can be viewed here.

Sample drawing of a standard pressure vessel for ASME audits.A Standard Audit Vessel?

This example shows ASME code calculations for a simple vessel. Calculations are completed with both our commercial software packages (APV & PVElite) as well as with our own in-house spreadsheets. A drawing typical of what PVEng provides is also available for download. We have helped several of our customers complete ASME "U" stamp audits with simple vessels similar to this.

Horizontal retention vessel with flexible saddle horns.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.

Cycle Life Analysis

File: PVE-3380
Last Updated: October 20, 2009
DV

FEA Analyis of Cycle LifeAn FEA is completed by PVEng to determine the maximum alternating stress which is then plotted on a cycle life curve to obtain an estimated cycle life. This method is much more accurate than classical calculations and may be used for any geometry. This example steps through the application of FEA to determine an estimated cycle life of a pressure vessel.
