3/12/2018 Nozzle with Repad Design Tool – Pressure Vessel Engineering

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) – We use FEA to design and validate fittings and
vessels that cannot be designed by rule-based codes like VIII-1 or B31.3.
Pressure, thermal, wind and seismic load analysis
Permissible service life (fatigue life)

Pipe Stress Analysis – Pipe stress analysis is mandatory for British Columbia
registration and it is recommended practice for many other systems.
Caesar II pipe stress analysis
Analysis to many piping codes including B31.1 and B31.5

Canadian Registration Number (CRN) – We are Canada’s largest independent

registrar of fittings, vessels and piping under the CRN program registering for more
than a thousand customers.

Design, review and registration with P.E. / P. Eng. stamping for all provinces
Specific knowledge of what needs registration and what is exempt by province
