Content of Pressure Vessel Software

OhmTech offers software for calculation and design of pressure vessels, shell and tube heat exchangers and boilers to five different national design codes. These are as listed below:

  • EN13445-European Standard for “Unfired Pressure Vessels”.
  • ASME VIII Div.1 “Rules for Construction of Pressure Vessels”.
  • PD5500-British Standard for “Unfired fusion welded pressure vessels”.
  • TBK2-Norwegian Standard “General Rules for Pressure Vessels”.
  • TKN-Swedish Standard “Tryckkärlsnormer”.

Listed below is the content of each standard that are currently included in the software:
