CODED MECHANICAL DESIGN
C12 is highly experienced in the CODED design of: Storage vessels | Piping | Pressure Vessel Equipment | Other General Mechanical Designs.
We are experienced in the interpretation & application of industrial design codes pertaining to the following industries & equipment:
- ATMOSPHERIC STORAGE VESSELS (6.9 kPa) OF STEEL CONSTRUCTION
We are able successfully develop a detailed design & offer recommendations based on the following Codes:
ASME BPVC section VIII DIV 1 & 2, typically employed on horizontal tanks & non circular storage Vessels.
API 650 & 620 codes: specifications for atmospheric storage vessels
API 579 & 653 codes: storage vessel fit for service assessment & repair codes
Weld research council: bulletin 107, local stresses on spherical & cylindrical bodies.
ASCE 7, SANS 10160: external wind & earthquake loads applied to vessels
We are able to carry out level 1 - Level 3 tank inspections, Fit For Service assessments & reporting, & offer repair recommendations.
- PUMPING & PIPING SYSTEMS FOR WATER, HYDROCARBONS & LUBE CIRCUITS, WEAK PROCESS FLUIDS
Piping designs in accordance with:
ASME B31.3: Specifications for pressure piping.
ASME B31.G: Manual for Determining Remaining strength of corroded Pipes
We offer a complete piping design services consisting of:
Pipe Routing & Stresses
Isometric Pipe drawings & Plant layouts
C12 is able to perform detail design of non-standard Components and qualifications of standard components such as:
Tees & Elbows
Weldolets
Flanges
Valves
- STRUCTURAL STEEL, PLATFORMS, JOINTS & CONNECTIONS
We perform detailed load analysis of steel frames & equipment support bases subjected to external equipment loads from first principles. Our designs are guided by the following codes:
AISC 360: Specifications for structural steel buildings, frames & structures subject to fatigue loading.
ASCE 7. Minimum Design loads for steel structures & buildings
SANS 10160: Structural design and actions for buildings & structures.
AWS D1/D1.1m- Structural Steel Welding Code
- ABOVE GROUND FUEL STORAGE EQUIPMENT [CLASS II & CLASS III LIQUIDS]:
We are able carry out an insurable design developments of storage vessels & SMALL SCALE above ground fuel storage facilities:
SANS 10089 SERIES: Codes for storage of petroleum products
NPFA 16,30,36 & 58: Relating to solvent extraction & Combustible Plants
PI 2000: Venting Low Pressure Storage Vessels. Includes Selection of appropriate devices for inlet & exhaust of fumes under pressure or vacuum conditions.
Due to Hazardous & Stringent environments in which our designs may be called for, OUR designs are detailed enough to include all minimum equipment specifications, fabrication & installation specifications etc.
