Hello Experts,
I am currently working on designing a vertical pressure vessel in PV Elite. The vessel has a diameter of 3.2 meters and a height of 6 meters, excluding the ellipsoidal heads. It is supported by four legs of HE220B, each with a length of 1500mm.
However, I've encountered a...
Hello experts,
I'm new to tank design and currently searching for information on the flow capacity of a 18" gooseneck type free vent. Unfortunately, the catalogues I've come across only list sizes up to 12". If anyone has access to a catalogue that includes 16" diameter free gooseneck vents or...
Hi Experts,
I am currently analysing a scenario involving two premises, one housing an LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) vessel and the other containing a fuel tank, with a boundary wall separating them. In this scenario, I am considering the possibility of an explosion of the LPG vessel, resulting...
Hi Experts
I am in the process of designing a pressure vessel using PVELITE for LPG. The specified conditions involve an internal pressure of -20°C and an external pressure of 50°C. However, I am encountering a warning stating that the external pressure should always be equal to or greater than...
Greetings!
Is the hydraulic power formula for a positive displacement (PD) pump identical to that of a centrifugal pump, expressed as Pressure multiplied by Flow divided by 1714?
Thanks in Advance
Hi Experts,
I am redesigning a pressure vessel using same values as used in previous model but previously it was calculated on external but this time its calculating on design values. Why is this difference when recreating the same thing?
Thanks in Advance
Hi Experts'
I recently got loads of pipeline mating flange from Ceasor II. I am writing to seek your assistance in calculating the maximum load that the mating flanges of these PIG LAUNCHER/RECEIVER can bear.
Do you use any specific software or Excel spreadsheets to perform these calculations...

Hi Experts,
I am designing a pig receiver with two barrels: a 6-meter major barrel and a 7-meter minor barrel. The barrels are joined by an eccentric reducer. I need to add lifting lugs to the major and minor barrels at different elevations, but PV Elite is placing the lugs at the same elevation...
Hi Experts,
I am practicing CAESAR II and trying to control nozzle loads under allowable which is maximum 5000 lb, spent two days on this line but no luck, it seems impossible for me.
Line is in operation and working fine, supports are same as on site. Caesar file is attached.
Looking for help...
Hi Experts,
Long time ago I found a pressure vessel spec (ASME SEC VIII DIV 1) online, where I found these nozzle loads, does anyone know which spec of unfired pressure vessel got this table of nozzle loads?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Experts,
I received a file from process department and I have to take out data for fabrication but could not see any option in this software other than Setting Plan and Tubesheet Layout, can you please help me find out from where I can get fabrication drawings? I searched it and it do produce...
Hello Experts,
I need to design a vessel at atmospheric pressure as same shape as we design pressure vessel, which code to be followed?
I went through API 650 but its for flat bottom.
I need it in shape you can see in image
Thanks in advance
Hello Experts,
I have to design a pressure vessel with following design parameters
Pressure 1.8 Mpa
Lowest operating temperature -65C
Size Dia 24"
Length 60"
In PVElite I opted material SA 516 Gr. 70 which goes lower upto -48C but my required MDMT is -65C, after checked to impact tested it...
Hello Experts,
I have to design a test ring of an in-service heat exchanger but in PVELIT or Autopipe it does not give option to design test ring, how do you guys design it using these softwares?
Thanks in advance
Hi Experts,
I have to choose pipe welded or seamless for raw gas but it's for 10 to 15 years not more than that, its API 5L X42 fluid is corrosive, no high temperature and pressure. I am looking for any reference from any standard which tells when to use welded and seamless or at least some...
Hi Experts!
I am designing a pressure vessel using PV Elite software which generated this report
Kindly help me understand following things:
a) Is it mandatory to consider tolerance in cyclindrical shell thickness as per div 1?
b) From where this “tu” equation is taken? I don’t find it in div 1...
Greetings!
I am provided this calculation sheet for required wall thickness of finished cold bend but can't figure out from where the value 39.5 is taken and this calculation is for 8 inches Dia. why in row no. 58 its saying 12.70 wall thickness when we calculated wall thickness of pipe in above...
