Pressure Vessel Component Design Using COMPRESS: It's easy to design or rate individual ASME pressure vessel components with COMPRESS. See how to use the COMPRESS design mode to optimize two common ASME Code components; a nozzle on a cylinder (UG-37, UG-45) and a custom flange (Appendix 2).

Post Construction Hydrotest Calculations In COMPRESS: Pressure vessel specifications often require that the equipment be designed for a field hydrotest in the fully corroded condition. See how to do this in COMPRESS 2011.

Perform FEA on Nozzles: The ASME Code requires analysis of piping and other loads on pressure vessel nozzles. However, traditional methods like WRC-107 and WRC-297 do not address all the nozzle intersections and loadings encountered in practice. The COMPRESS FEA-Nozzles feature solves this problem by providing a quick and reliable finite element analysis (FEA) of pressure vessel and heat exchanger nozzles.
Shell Seam Placement on Pressure Vessels: Pressure vessel drawings and API 510 (post construction) calculations require correct seam placement. See how to add longitudinal shell seams to a COMPRESS model.
