Which codes are boilers and pressure vessels designed to?

Aras designs to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) for 'U'-stamp equipment and to the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) with the relevant EN standards for CE-marked equipment supplied to the European market — selected according to the project's market and client requirement.

Is finite element analysis used in the design?

Yes. FEA is used to predict structural behaviour under the specified pressure, thermal and mechanical loading conditions, confirming durability, fatigue performance and adequate safety margins beyond the code's routine calculations.

What documentation is supplied with the equipment?

Each vessel is delivered with design calculations, material certificates, welding qualifications, manufacturing records, NDT and inspection reports, hydrostatic test records and the applicable code certification — assembled as a complete quality dossier.

Does the scope include site erection and commissioning?

Yes. Aras can supervise or execute on-site assembly and installation to verify conformity with the design parameters, applying strict erection safety procedures, followed by testing and commissioning support.

Boilers & Pressure Vessels

Aras Power Systems designs and builds boilers and pressure vessels to ASME BPVC Sections I and VIII (Div. 1/2), PED 2014/68/EU and EN 13445/12952, supplying ASME ‘U’-stamp or PED CE-marked equipment with full code documentation. Vessels are engineered for full-vacuum to high-pressure service with FEA-verified structural integrity, materials from SA-516 carbon steel to stainless and clad construction, and complete NDT and traceability packages.

Codes & standards

Aras Power Systems designs boilers & pressure vessels to the client-nominated code basis, with fluency across both ASME (US) and EN (European) frameworks for international acceptance.
