MT-VESS   Pressure Vessel Mechanical Design

Programs that form MT-VESS package perform:

• Global design of a pressure vessel including mechanical and geometrical sizing
• Design of base components

Standards

• ASME VIII Division 1
• ISPESL-VSR (Italian)

Databanks

• Heat exchanger material classes
• Pressure vessels material classes
• Mechanical characteristics of materials
• Nozzle database
• Gaskets database
• Vacuum charts database
• Supports database

Vessel Design

• Sizing to the combined effects of temperature and pressure
• Calculation of loads--apart the pressure--that stress the vessel
  • Weights
  • Forces generated by wind
  • Forces generated by earthquake
  • Support reaction
  • Additional loads
• Check to the tensions and to the deformations due to the forces as above
