SCRIPT: Simplify and streamline the analysis and design of pressure vessels and heat exchangers with Hexagon solutions. For nearly three decades, fabricators, owner operators, EPCs and engineering consultants have used PV Elite and TANK to confidently design equipment for the most extreme uses and have done so quickly, accurately and profitably. Pressure vessel or tank failure could not only be costly but may even be deadly. That’s why it’s critical that your equipment is designed accurately and meets code requirements. PV Elite analyzes all different types of pressure vessels, including horizontal, vertical, and heat exchangers. Manual data collection is a long and complicated process. PV Elite does all the hard work for you, simply enter your information (like temperature, diameters and pressure), press run, and it performs the calculations for you…by the codes you have selected. Graphical representation of analysis models helps ensure confidence in input and results. In PV Elite, users can view and manipulate models with ease. Perform your calculations in accordance with ASME VIII Div. 1, Div. 2, PD 5500 or EN-13445 and benefit from advanced analysis options like Response Spectrum Analysis. For owner operators, rules from API 579 are also included for evaluating the current state and remaining life of existing vessels. Local stress analysis is available using various standards. Pressure vessels corrode over time, and engineers need to figure out how long this can go on before repair or replacement. Some vessels undergo radical temperature and pressure excursions. Use the Life Fraction capabilities in PV Elite to produce optimal designs for these cases. Hexagon’s pressure vessel and TANK solutions are developed by ASME and API code committee members. See all of your formulas and standards listed at a glance. Results are grouped by type for quick and easy review. Extensive, region-specific content such as local wind and seismic codes are available. International Code Rules include ASME, British Standard and EN material databases. No matter where in the world you’re designing your equipment, we have a solution for you. Interoperability is essential to streamlining your workflow. PV Elite integrates with CADWorx Equipment and CAESAR II. Like PV Elite, TANK is easy to use and addresses several API codes. TANK offers comprehensive reports so you can quickly find the values that you need and how they were derived. This allows you to efficiently identify points of concern in your TANK analysis and design. Optimize the lifetime of your equipment with PV Elite and TANK, without the need to purchase add-ons. Since the programs are easy to learn and use, it’s perfect for companies requiring fast start-up and confidence in their safety code calculations. Our product team is committed and focused on providing easy to use and powerful analysis solutions with streamlined workflows for your projects.
