STRESS ANALYSIS OF PIPES WITH RATIO D / t> 100
On certain occasions, during the development of projects where large diameter pipes are involved, scenarios arise in which the diameter (D) / thickness (t) ratio is higher than 100. It is common to find this situation in systems with large diameter pipes that work at low pressure, in which the
Design of piping systems with restriction orifices
The restriction orifices are used in many applications where it is necessary to reduce the flow and pressure of fluids in pipes. These can be used for gases, vapors and corrosive fluids. Many of its applications are related to plant safety and equipment protection: Depressurization system in gas treatment plants,
Fitness for service procedures for cracks like flaws
During the life cycle of many pressure vessels arise the necessity to maintain them in service after detecting crack-like flaws or delamination. For that, there are some methodologies that allow establishing a quantitative judgment about if it is possible to safely operate this equipment and also determine its remaining life
Changes in the evaluation of buckling protection ASME VIII div 2 edition 2023
One of the changes introduced in the latest edition of the ASME VIII Div 2 standard has been the way to assess protection against buckling failure when designing by analysis. Section 5.4 of the standard has been completely rewritten since the validation method proposed in previous editions was not reliable
Information Day on the 2024 PERTE of Industrial Decarbonization
CADE was present at the informative session on January 22 in Toledo regarding the PERTE (Energetic Project for Recovery and Ecological Transition) for Industrial Decarbonization, organized by the Ministry of Economy, Companies, and Employment of the Regional Government of Castilla-La Mancha. The session featured the participation of Javier Rosell, General
Revolutionizing the Industry: The Power of Integrating Machine Learning and the Digital Twin with Advanced Simulation
Machine Learning(ML) or automatic learning is a branch of artificial intelligence that allows computers to learn autonomously and perform certain actions or tasks without the need for specific programming. This is achieved through the development of algorithms that enable pattern learning and, consequently, decision-making. Figure 1: Machine Learning Workflow The
CADE participates in the NAFEMS Iberia seminar
Last Thursday, 16/11, we had the honor of participating as speakers in the seminar organized by NAFEMS Iberia, where we aimed to present our perspective on the current and immediate challenges faced by numerical simulation, understood as an engineering tool. In our presentation, we explored the distinctive aspect that CADE
What impact does the selection of the design code have on a pressure vessel? Advantages of Design by Analysis
When designing a pressure vessel, the choice of the design code is one of the main decisions that must be made. Requirements of the standard should be considered, not only regarding the design conditions, but also manufacturing and inspection aspects. One of the most significant factors in this decision-making process
Work meeting in Salamanca of the Eclosion project consortium
We attended today a work meeting at the facilities of the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) of Aqualia in Salamanca, which brings together all members of the consortium of companies and entities closely collaborating on the ambitious ECLOSION project, including CADE. The objective of this meeting is to share progress in
