Pressure Vessels

Design by analysis is gradually overtaking the use of more traditional vessel design by rules in the pressure vessel industry. More demanding designs in terms of reliability and safety together with costs of production are responsible for this push towards more advanced design techniques. Increasingly, many large customers also require their suppliers to obtain third party design assessment as a requirement. SDEA engineers have experience in providing third party design validation services to different companies in the pressure vessel industry. We use a robust methodology for pressure vessel calculation covering a range of different failure modes from in-service fatigue failure under cyclic loading to plastic collapse.
