Building Codes and ASME VIII-1 (UG-22)

Compliance With ASME VIII-1, Paragraph UG-22 Internal and external design pressures are not the only criteria used when designing pressure vessels. ASME VIII-1, paragraph UG-22, requires that all external loads acting on the pressure vessel be taken into account as well. These include forces and moments that arise from attached piping and equipment, the [...]

Rating Input Mode

Enter Component Thickness in Rating Input Mode Rating input mode in COMPRESS calculates the MAWP and minimum thickness while allowing you to input your existing geometry. Inputs are re-evaluated during the modeling process and updated as necessary to reflect applicable Code dependencies. In selected circumstances warnings and good engineering practice reminders are presented. [...]

Optimize Appendix 2 Flange Designs

Standard ASME B16.5/16.47 flanges usually provide the most cost effective solution for bolted connections. For cases where no standard flange exists, the more complex rules of ASME Appendix 2 can be used. The COMPRESS Flange Wizard is a tool that creates optimized Appendix 2 flange designs with minimal time and effort. [...]
