Avaliação de um vaso de pressão utilizando a metodologia do código ASME secção VIII divisão 1

Abstract

In contrast to almost all other equipment, machinery, vehicles, objects and commonly used materials, most of the pressure vessels are no industries manufacturing line items. The vessels are commonly custom designed and built to meet in each case a particular purpose or to certain performance conditions. As a result, the design is always done individually for each vessel to be built. The design of a pressure vessel includes not only its physical dimensions to withstand pressure and other loads acting, as well as the technical selection and manufacturing details of internal parts, etc. Safety issues (aspects) against accident in the manufacture and assembly of the vessel should be considered, as well as possible damage to third parties, environmental damage, infringements of trademarks and patents, etc. It is guaranteed that all these aspects are respected if the pressure vessel ordered has the requirement of ASME certification in their hiring or at least meet all the requirements in ASME Code. The great benefit of acquiring equipment following the precepts of the ASME Code is the credibility that the contractor company has in manufacturing equipment whose warranty on the project and the quality is manufacturer's liability to the ASME Code and the applicable jurisdictions.
