Finite Element Analysis & Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations Services

NUMERICAL SIMULATION (FEA & CFD)

KSP engineers with more than 15 years solid experience and background in the related field can do FEA for the following equipment as a whole or their related components:

I) Pressure Vessels

FEA helps in assessing the structural integrity and safety of several components and parts of pressure vessels under different operating conditions, including internal pressure, thermal effects, and external loads (including wind and seismic loads). It aids in optimizing the design by evaluating stress distributions, deformation, fatigue life, and potential failure modes.

II) Heat Exchangers

FEA is used to simulate the behavior of heat exchanger components, such as tubes, shells, expansion joints, and tubesheets, under various thermal and pressure loadings. It assists in optimizing the design to ensure structural integrity and heat transfer efficiency.

III) Piping Systems

FEA can analyze piping systems subjected to internal pressure, thermal expansion, seismic and wind loads, and other forces. It helps engineers determine stress concentrations, potential failure points, and the effects of different support configurations.

IV) Cast Tubesheets in Fired Heaters & Furnaces

By employing FEA in the design and analysis of cast tubesheets in fired heaters, engineers can make informed decisions regarding material selection, geometry, and operational parameters
