Design
The FB Tanks technical office develops the mechanical design of pressure equipment in-house, working in close integration with production.
The activities include:
- structural calculations according to international codes
- verification according to EN 13445
- design and sizing according to ASME Section VIII, Division 1
- FEM (Finite Element Method) analysis for advanced strength and structural behavior assessments
Design is not a separate step from production, but a phase closely connected to practical manufacturing. Each solution is developed taking into account materials, thicknesses, welds, and actual operating conditions.
Applied engineering and regulatory support
To support the design and manufacturing of equipment, FB Tanks provides applied engineering and regulatory support activities, developed in-house and, where required, in collaboration with qualified partners.
The activities include:
- classification of pressure equipment and assemblies, and support for marking in accordance with Directive 2014/68/EU (PED) and the main international standards (ASME, SELO, TR CU 032);
- sizing of safety devices;
- stability calculations for pressure equipment;
- stress analysis of industrial piping, including static and dynamic analysis;
- thermal calculations for heat exchangers;
- management of non-destructive testing (NDT) and laboratory tests;
- preparation of complete technical dossiers, including user manuals and conformity documentation;
- development of workshop fabrication drawings, preliminary layouts, and 3D models.
This service allows the customer to obtain a product that is not only properly designed and manufactured, but also fully compliant with the regulatory requirements of the target market.
Document and certification management is an integral part of FB Tanks’ technical value: each piece of equipment is delivered with traceability, inspections, and documentation consistent with the applicable regulations.
