What This Workbook Does

This is our most comprehensive single deliverable — a complete pressure vessel design workbook covering every major component required for an ASME VIII Division 1 stamped vessel. Built for vessel design engineers who want one tool instead of cobbling together a dozen separate sheets per project. Used in design offices delivering pressure vessels to refineries, petrochemicals, fertilizers, power, and process industries.

What’s Inside the Workbook

• Cylindrical shell — UG-27 thickness for internal and external pressure, with UG-28 external pressure charts embedded
• Heads — 2:1 ellipsoidal (UG-32), torispherical (UG-32), hemispherical (UG-32), flat heads (UG-34)
• Nozzles — UG-37 area replacement, UG-45 minimum thickness, UW-16 attachment welds
• Flanges — Appendix 2 flange calculation (operating + seating)
• Vessel supports — saddle (Zick analysis), skirt, leg, bracket
• Lifting lugs and tailing lugs for vessel erection
• MAWP and MDMT determination per Part UCS
• Hydrotest pressure per UG-99
• Weight and CG estimate for fabrication and shipping
• Datasheet output in standard vessel format
• Clause references on every formula cell — defend the math at TPI / ASME inspector review

Who This Workbook Is For

• Pressure vessel design engineers in EPC, fabrication, and design offices
• Senior mechanical engineers running vessel design for refinery, petrochemical, fertilizer projects
• Engineering consultancies billing vessel design hours
• QA/QC engineers verifying U-Stamp deliverables
• Vessel fabricators needing in-house design capability

Codes & Standards Referenced

• ASME Section VIII Division 1 — Rules for Construction of Pressure Vessels
• Subsection A: General Requirements (Parts UG)
• Subsection B: Construction Requirements (UW welded, UCS carbon steel)
• Appendix 2 — Flange Design
• Zick Method — vessel saddle analysis

Why Engineers Buy This Instead of Individual Sheets

Building a stamped ASME VIII Div 1 vessel from scratch normally needs 8–12 separate calculation sheets, all maintained, all version-controlled. This workbook consolidates them into one auditable file — saving 4–6 hours per vessel and reducing reconciliation errors across components. For a design office running multiple vessels per month, the time savings cover the cost in the first project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it cover Division 2?
This workbook is Division 1. Division 2 (alternative rules) uses a different design factor philosophy — request a custom Division 2 adaptation if needed.

Stamped deliverable use?
Yes. Engineers worldwide use this as the calculation backbone for U-stamped deliverables. The engineer of record retains design responsibility.

What about FEA-based design (Part 5)?
This workbook handles the design-by-rule methodology. Design-by-analysis (FEA) is a separate service — see our FEA Services page.

Custom version (EN 13445, PD 5500)?
Yes — our engineering team adapts the workbook to European codes. Request a custom quote.

Do you offer full vessel design as a service?
Yes. See our Pressure Vessel Design service for full design + drawings + reports.

Need Full Vessel Design Service?

If you need complete pressure vessel design with drawings, stress reports, and code certification rather than the calculation workbook, 3D-LABS delivers full vessel design services with ASME, EN 13445, and PD 5500 capability. Learn more about our vessel design service or request a quote.

What MASTER Pressure Vessel Design Workbook (ASME VIII Div 1) — Complete Excel calculates

MASTER Pressure Vessel Design Workbook (ASME VIII Div 1) — Complete Excel is an Excel-native engineering calculation tool built by 3D-LABS for mechanical, design, and equipment engineers working with pressure equipment, rotating machinery, and mechanical systems. It is used for sizing pressure vessels, heat exchangers, flanges, bolts, and other mechanical components. Every input is labelled and every output is traceable — the sheet is designed to be checkable, not a black box.

Codes and standards followed

MASTER Pressure Vessel Design Workbook (ASME VIII Div 1) — Complete Excel follows ASME VIII. Each formula in the spreadsheet is cross-referenced to the specific code clause it implements — you can trace any calculation back to the underlying standard, which is essential for design review and regulatory sign-off.

If your project requires a different code base (e.g. converting an IS-code sheet to an ASME basis), we can produce a code-variant edition on request. Contact info@3d-labs.com for a variant quote.

What is included in your download

• The Excel calculation file (.xlsx) — fully unlocked formulas, cell-level comments, and a clear input/output layout.
• A sample worked example — realistic inputs plus expected outputs so you can validate the spreadsheet against a known case.
• User notes (PDF) — assumptions, code clauses referenced, and edge-case guidance.
• Revision history — every update to the spreadsheet is logged so you know what changed and when.
