I am trying to develop a refrigeration unit for which I need to register the design in Canada. The codes used are CSA B51, CSA B52 and design codes include ASME section VIII. The design specification for the components are as follows:
The whole refrigeration system is to be registered as...
I submitted one of my designs for provincial registration with ABSA. The reviewer is asking us to validate the FEA results. Can someone let me know how I can validate the FEA results?
I have attached link to the FEA study that I performed.

Hello,
I am in the search for an equipment that gives out constant heat output. The equipment can be similar to an immersion heater, the output should not vary with the electrical input. This is to be used in the calorimetric testing of a two phase liguid (ice in brine solution).
Thanks for...
My company builds systems that run on R404A and R410A. These refrigerants are being phased out in many parts of the world right now. We are in the search for a compatible, efficient alternative for our systems.
Is there a one stop solution or a guide to see which refrigerant is an acceptable...
I am in the process of registering one of our refrigeration system designs under ABSA. The engineer reviewing our documents said he needs us to do a proof test on the condenser coil which is part of the refrigeration system.
ASME B31.5 paragraph 504.7(c), says the heat transfer components...
I am having some confusion if the material I have is 316 or 316l. This is a SA-249 Stainless steel tube. Based on the material composition and strength requirements, the material fall into both.
If I consider the tube as 316, I could use the HA2 chart for external pressure and the required...
I am having trouble understanding clause 5.2 from CSA B52-18.
5.2(b) says we may be exempt from registration if the refrigeration system is covered by the following 4 standards. Does this mean our equipment has to comply with all 4 standards? What do I do if one of the standards is not...
I am trying to learn more about FEA analysis on pressure vessels and piping components. Do anyone know about a good guide or a course that I can do? I have little experience with Static FEA in solidworks. I am looking for something oriented at pressurized component's FEA as per ASME VII.
I need to design a Y fitting that acts as a nozzle to connect two pressure vessels. All 3 sections of the Y is to be made of 2" SS304 pipe. Which part of the ASME code should I use to do the design calculations for this Y ?
Thanks
Hello All,
Which external pressure stress chart should we use for 6063-T6 tubes? I couldn't find any chart for this material. Does this mean we cannot use this tube material for external pressures? Or is there a work around solution?
Thanks in advance.
I am trying to design an evaporator using an aluminum extruded profile as shown in the attached images. What paragraph in ASME section VIII governs the design pressure calculation for these kind of extruded profiles? Any help is appreciated.
