Pressure vessels are essential components in countless industrial processes — from petrochemical and energy sectors to pharmaceutical and food industries. These containers, designed to operate at pressures significantly different from atmospheric pressue, are critical for safely and efficiently storing and transporting fluids. Their structural integrity is not merely a matter of operability, but a fundamental […]

Design Codes for Pressure Vessels: EN 13445 vs AD 2000 are essential to understand when selecting the appropriate design code in pressure vessel engineering. Both comply with the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED 2014/68/EU), but differ in philosophy, materials, and technical requirements. Understanding these differences enables safer, more efficient, and regulation-aligned decisions. EN 13445 vs AD […]

In the competitive world of industrial engineering, standing out requires mastering specialized skills that bring real value to projects. Stress analysis in piping systems isn’t just another technical competency: it’s the cornerstone that can define the success or failure of entire industrial facilities, and therefore, the differentiating element that can catapult your professional career. What […]

In the design of industrial plant piping interconnection, the proper integration between pieces of equipment is one of the most critical and complex tasks faced by piping engineers. It not only directly impacts operational efficiency, but also has a significant influence on construction, maintenance, and safety costs. The Importance of Piping Interconnection Design in Industrial […]

For many, summer is synonymous with disconnection, vacations, and a more relaxed pace. However, for the ambitious engineer or technician, this season can become an unparalleled strategic opportunity for professional growth. Far from the usual hustle and bustle of the year, summer offers a perfect setting to invest in training, update knowledge, and acquire new […]

Stress and flexibility analysis—also known as stress analysis—is a fundamental discipline in piping system design. Its purpose is to assess whether a pipeline can withstand loads imposed by internal, external, or combined conditions without compromising the system’s integrity. A piping system must have sufficient flexibility to absorb both thermal expansion and contraction, as well as […]
