Design

The use of powerful computer programs such as B-JAC from Aspen Tech, and other programs that we have developed ourselves, guarantee the design data of our products, and support rapid response to your enquiries. 



Dimensions and Weights

Great depth in production and modern equipment allow us to execute orders with great flexibility, within the constraints of the following dimensions and weights.

  • Diameters up to 4000 mm
  • Length up to 15 ms
  • Total weight up to 100 t
  • Operating pressure up to 500 bar

The design depends on the properties of the materials you want to use and of the fluids that will be involved in operating the process.

Materials

  • Structural steels in accordance with EN 10025
  • Fine-grained structural steel in accordance with EN 10028-3 (P355NL etc.)
  • Chrome nickel steels (1.3964, 1.4301, 1.4306, 1.4361, 1.4406, 1.4435, 1.4462, 1.4529, 1.4539, 1.4541, 1.4571, etc.)
  • High temperature steels in accordance with EN 10028-2 (P265GH, 16M03 etc.)
  • Copper and copper wrought alloys (SfCu, CuNi 10, 30, etc.)
  • Nickel based alloys and pure nickel (ALLOY, HASTELLOY, MONEL etc.)
  • Titanium
  • Coatings of all material combinations mentioned above

Fluids

  • Refrigerants (NH3, CO2, "Frigen")
  • Cooling and heating media
  • Heating media
  • Process gases (O2, H2, He, CO, etc.)
  • Oils, vegetable oils
  • Brewing water, beer, vapours,
  • Alcohols
  • Water, Steam
  • Air
  • Waste gases (smoke gases, hydro-carbons)

Regulations (standards)

In terms of mechanical strength, the equipment is of course designed in the light of a wide variety of both national and international regulations and standards.

  • PED 97/23-EC Module H1
  • AD 2000 Regulations
  • ASME VIII Div.1 (no U-Stamp) TEMA R,B,C
  • British Standard BS 5500
  • RACOLTA Italiy
  • Stoomwezen-Holland
  • SVTI-Switzerland
  • UDT-Poland
  • GOST
  • Lloyds Register of Shipping
  • German Lloyd
  • Det Norske Veritas

Our staff will be happy to inform you about the available regulation sets.
We would also be pleased to supply you with the CAD drawings electronically.
The process examination reports necessary for welding are available, and are continuously updated through working examinations.
