Seven Ways AutoPIPE Vessel Helps You Design Smarter

Modeling and analyzing pressure vessels to be accurate and safe enough to withstand high temperatures and pressure processes can be expensive and time-consuming. With advanced capabilities and comprehensive databases, AutoPIPE Vessel has been proven to enable engineers to deliver greater productivity, cost-effective manufacturing, improved project collaboration, and truly optimized pressure vessel designs. Here are seven AutoPIPE Vessel features that can help you and your team produce your most accurate and reliable vessel designs: 01. Automation and design check Manual calculations can be extremely time consuming, which can lead to project delays. AutoPIPE Vessel’s advanced automation and design check capabilities can give you the solution to maximize your productivity and minimize errors by eliminating guesswork and filling in the gaps for you. Feel confident that your designs are accurate, cost-effective, and code compliant. Color-coded data sets let you see what information is required and what can be generated by the software. For example, input your available information into the required fields (red), and, from that information, other values (green) can be calculated for you. If you are in a pre-dimensioning or cost estimation phase, speed and simplicity is a must. AutoPIPE Vessel guides you through the design process by suggesting solutions

How Does Your Pipe Stress Software Access ASME B31J i-Factors and k-Factors?

In the 2020 updates, both the ASME B31.1 Power Piping code and ASME B31.3 Process Piping code have mandated the use of ASME B31J, Stress Intensification Factors (i-Factors), Flexibility Factors (k-Factors) and their determination for Metallic Piping Components, removing the traditional Appendix D, Flexibility, and Stress Intensification Factors (SIF) from the codes.
