Flanged joints are an assembled set, formed by the joining of two flanges using fasteners such as bolts, nuts and washers. A gasket is located between both flanges, which performs the function of sealing the joint assembly. Flanged joints are designed to allow the transport of a fluid in a pipeline or in a pressure […]

ASME BTH-1 Standard – Design of Below the Hook. Lifting Devices, arises after the creation by ASME of a design task group in 1997, to develop a design standard that complements the ASME Code B30.20 Below the Hook. Lifting Devices. Safety Standard, for the design of lifting elements. The standard was published in 2005, consisting […]

In the design of mechanical equipment, especially large static and rotating equipment, it is essential to carry out a detailed design and analysis of the stresses generated due to the loads induced during the transportation on the different elements of the equipment. If we analyze, for example, the case of a pressure vessel, the transportation […]

First of all, it should be considered that transport and erection operations of pressure vessels could be focused from two different points of view, which are intrinsically related. On the one hand, the pressure vessel must not be damaged under no circumstances, since the moment the equipment leaves the manufacturer’s workshop until it is installed […]
