Description
MASTER Pressure Vessel Design Workbook (ASME VIII Div 1)
Comprehensive Engineering Workbook — Instant Download
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

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.
