Pressure Vessel Design
Heat Exchanger Design

We provide pressure vessel design calculations and produce detail drawings. Pacific Engineering Pty Ltd has an experienced team of design engineers to design pressure vessels to AS 1210, AS 2809.1, AS 2809.6 (road tankers for cryogenic liquids) & ASME, shell and tube heat exchangers to TEMA, AS 1210 & ASME, transportable and cryogenic vessels to AS 1210, atmospheric storage tanks to API 620, API 650 & AS 1692 and produce detail drawings based on codes and client specifications.

We have developed a powerful software "AS 1210+" to speed up the design of pressure vessels and heat exchangers. The software has been exclusively designed for AS 1210 Pressure Vessels (Oct 2010 revision) and integrated with TEMA and ASME to assure accurate heat exchanger designs. Pressure Vessel Design Software "AS1210+" is developed and owned by Pacific Engineering Pty Ltd.

Pressure Vessel Design Software "AS1210+"
AS1210+ Pressure Vessel Design Software consists of a fully integrated suite of computer programs for use in the design and design verification of pressure vessels and shell and tube heat exchangers by Australian standards AS 1210 and international codes ASME & TEMA. The Pressure Vessel Design Software AS1210+ is developed to design a complete vessel, considering the entire vessel's effect on each of its components including wind and seismic loads (AS 1170.2, AS 1170.4). The main features of the software are:

Step-by-step design calculations of components for internal/external pressure, detailed printout, 
Analysis of equipment subject to combined loadings including wind loads (AS 1170.2) and seismic loads (AS 1170.4),
External nozzle load calculations to WRC Bulletins 107,
Stress analysis of large cylindrical horizontal pressure vessels by the Zick method,
Flange and tubesheet thickness optimisation,
Tubesheet calculations to TEMA and/or ASME,
Detailed supports calculations,
AS 1210 & ASME material property data for all material types.

AS 1210-2010 Pressure Vessels was published in Oct 2010 to supersede the 1997 edition with its supplements and amendments.
The main changes in the new edition are the revision of design tensile strengths, revision of requirements for low-temperature service, revision of application of safety factors for flanges and transportable vessels, revision of bolted spherical type dished end calculations, revision of nozzle reinforcement calculations, tubesheet thickness calculations to ASME and the deletion of the 400mm manhole size.
Pressure Vessel Design Software "AS1210+" considers them all.
