Our team includes members with years of experience in codes & standards applications. This includes heat exchangers, pressure vessels, tanks, coils, mixers, jacketed systems, and specialty nozzles. Our company president and our principal engineer are on the ASME Pressure Vessels for Human Occupancy (PVHO) Committee where they address all of the design issues regarding ASME Div. 1, 2, and 3 pressure vessels, the nonlinear applications of acrylic design, and the life support needs for diving, submersibles, medical chambers, and “dry diving” tunneling.
Our principal engineer, Bart Kemper, had over 15 years of pressure vessel and piping experience as before being involved with PVHOs. His published work led him to being appointed chair of the ASME task group developing a methodology for Design By Analysis for Glassy Polymers, which will use modern engineering techniques to apply acrylics, polycarbonates, and other glassy polymers as pressure vessel components or other structural elements. The initial framework has been published in an ASME journal with subsequent papers published and in development.
Our experience in design codes includes:
- ASME designs for pressure vessels, piping, and heat exchangers
- TEMA heat exchangers
- ASME/API Fitness-For-Service
- API tanks and pipeline
- NFPA fire requirements
- FDA food grade and sanitary systems, ASME BPE piping
- International code compliance and equivalency
- Piping system design
- Skid system design
- Pipe Stress Analysis
- Failure analysis (pressure vessels, piping, and components)
- On-site work as needed, such as witnessed tests
