Vessels, Tanks and Apparatus

In the field of plant engineering all kinds of technical facilities must be dimensioned and designed for various kinds of load cases.

The respective components are:

  • vessels on saddles, columns, frame structures
  • cranes, lifting equipment, manipulators
  • pumps, centrifuges, cyclones, stirrers
  • ventilation systems
  • tanks

Typical load cases are

  • static operational loads
  • dynamic operational loads
  • earthquake, explosion, waterhammers

Dimensioning takes place according to technical norms such as:

  • AD – specification, TRD
  • ASME
  • UBC, IBC, British Standard

Additionally to the calculative analysis we also use strength tests and vibration tests, for which Wölfel possesses the necessary mobile equipment. Besides dimensioning of new plants we also work in the field of rebuilding old plants as well as improvement and retrofitting for earthquakes.
