PRESSUE VESSEL DESIGN COURSES
PV Elite provides engineers, designers, estimators, fabricators and
inspectors around the world with solutions that match their pressure vessel
and heat exchanger design needs. Because the program is easy to learn and
use, it is perfect for both regular and occasional users requiring fast
start up and confidence in their safety code calculations. PV Elite is a
complete solution for the quick and intuitive design of new pressure
vessels, and it also evaluates and re-rates existing vessels, including
Fitness for Service analysis. The program considers the whole vessel,
addressing all of the wall thickness rules and stress analysis requirements
for vertical towers, horizontal vessels and heat exchangers. Also,
individual vessel components may be evaluated..
PV Elite performs calculations in accordance with ASME Section VIII,
Divisions 1 & 2, PD 5500, and EN 13445. Rules from API 579 (Fitness for
Service) are also included for evaluating the current state and remaining
life of existing vessels. Outputs and Reports To simplify inspection
requirements, PV Elite lists the most important equations such as required
thickness and maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) and also groups
results by type (e.g. internal pressure, external pressure, bending stress,
nozzles and flanges). Overall results are summarized where the element or
detail controlling the overall vessel MAWP is identified..
Data Collection PV Elite makes defining pressure boundary conditions for
vessels and exchangers easy, even for load sets that require significant
data input. PV Elite streamlines data entry by breaking the input down into
sensible subsets. Help on any input item is only a keystroke away. Graphics
PV Elite's graphical representation of analysis models helps ensure
confidence in the input and results. With PV Elite, analysis models can be
viewed and manipulated with complete ease
We offer full migration support to ensure minimal disruption to projects and
the assurance that your data is secure, and that your engineering teams can
collaborate with full transparency at every stage of a project. Save time by
30-50% on project start-up and expect lower IT costs with AVEVA E3D Design
on AVEVA Connect.
