ASME Pressure Vessel Design Support Services

ASME BPVC Section VIII pressure vessel calculations, PV Elite analysis, nozzle design, and fabrication drawing support for process industry projects across Saudi Arabia.

SLETEC Engineering provides pressure vessel design support for fabricators, EPC contractors, and engineering firms operating in Saudi Arabia and the wider Gulf region. Our pressure vessel engineering services are based on ASME BPVC Section VIII Division 1 and Division 2, with PV Elite as our primary calculation tool for shell, head, nozzle, flange, and support design. We produce full engineering calculation packages formatted for Authorized Inspector review and client submission.

Our pressure vessel scope covers horizontal and vertical vessels, separators, knock-out drums, air receivers, heat exchanger shells, reactors, and other process vessels. For each vessel, we prepare shell and head thickness calculations, nozzle reinforcement area calculations, flange rating verification, saddle and support design, lifting lug calculations, and wind and seismic load assessment per ASCE 7. Vessel nozzle schedules and datasheets are prepared alongside the calculation package.

For complex vessel geometries where standard calculation methods are insufficient, SLETEC performs finite element analysis (FEA) per ASME BPVC Section VIII Division 2 design-by-analysis provisions. This covers nozzle intersections, cone-to-shell junctions, and locally stressed areas. Our FEA results are presented in a structured report with stress classification and linearisation results clearly referenced to code acceptance criteria.
