Pressure vessels

ACMT has extensive experience in FEA for pressure vessels according to ASME VIII division 2, AD Merkblatt S4 and EN13445 annex C.

ACMT focus is not only new custom design but also existing installations for performance upgrade to extend economic lifetime and postpone CAPEX or increase production output to enhance financial return.

Even a simple end of life evaluation of existing installations can reveal sufficient material reserve to keep an installation operational until a next planned shutdown or beyond.
