Advanced Pipeline (ILI) Tool - Pressure Vessel 300bar
Scope
D3 were tasked by our long-term valued client to design a bespoke pressure vessel to house and integrate cell packs and electronics, with a design pressure of 300bar.
PTC Creo was utilised for the 3D modelling and drawings.
Solution
D3 designed the bespoke PV in-line with the required BS design codes to determine required shell thickness and a final verification was undertook with an FEA analysis.
The vessel was required to withstand a test pressure of 429bar and was made out of a high-spec aluminium alloy, with the benefit of high-strength and low weight.
Summary
D3 successfully tackled the challenge and provided our client with their desired outcome, a 300bar design pressure PV capable of safely withstanding pressures up to 429bar test pressure.
Benefits/Solutions:
Expanded our clients scope to inspect higher pressure pipelines.
Design was turned around quickly, cost-effectively and in-line with design codes.
Professional documentation package, inclusive of all relevant engineering drawings and calculation report.
