Calculations for tanks and silos
Tanks and silos are key elements of many industrial installations, and their safe operation is important for continuity of plant work and employee safety.
Professional strength calculations and analyses help meet regulatory requirements and support safe operation over the service life of the equipment.
At CIM-mes, we will support you by:
- Comprehensive strength and fatigue analyses of pressure vessels in accordance with the PED 2014/68/EU directive and PN-EN 13445, AD 2000-Merkblatt, ASME Sec. VIII and PD5500 standards, using the FEM method or PV Elite or VVD software.
- Comprehensive strength and fatigue analyses of non-pressure vessels and silos in accordance with Eurocode (EN 1993; EN 1999) or PN-EN 14015, using FEM or TANK software,
- Static strength, stability and fatigue analyses under operating conditions, pressure testing, transport and foundation analyses, taking into account all relevant load combinations
- FEM analyses of non-standard tank structures and determination of local stresses: supports, nozzles, flanges, manholes or lifting lugs,
- Determination of external loads (wind, snow, seismic loads) according to the relevant standards for the location of the equipment (EN 1991, EN 1998, ASCE),
- Reports recognised by notified bodies worldwide,
- Support at every stage of design, from tendering to the final documentation required by notified bodies.
