ASME Section VIII, Division 2 Pressure Vessel Analysis
Summary: Predictive Engineering has over eleven years of experience in the application of ASME Section VIII, Div. 2. In the nuclear field, Predictive has produced NQA-1 seismic, buckling and fatigue analysis reports on some of the most complicated vessels installed at the Hanford Tank Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant. Working collaboratively with DOE's contractor, Predictive has pioneered many of the seismic and buckling analysis procedures based on interpretation of ASCE 4-98 and ASME Section VIII, Div. 2 Codes for pressure vessels (PV) containing large internal PV components.
