Software for calculation for EN 13445-3

If you or your company wishes to invest in a calculation software to calculate pressure tankes/vessels/flanges/dished ends/cone ect. I can recommend the following softwares:

• dimY (now available for Windows, but still also in Dos mode.

• LV-Soft (Lauterbach Verfahrenstechnik).

LV-soft can be found and purchased on the this site: http://www.lv-soft.com/

I recommend that you try the trials version before purchasing, they work for a period of 30 days.

Both program types is very easy to use and I feel that you quickly learns to operate it.

Both programs is in the cheap end of the scale of pressure calculation programs that is available today (2009).

But as I posted in the my first blog, you can also (easily) make you own program in MS Excel or another spreadsheet program. All you need is to have buy the book (the book also contains a lot of curves and diagram that is very helpfully along the way of calculation).

Please comment if you now more calculation programs that you or your company find useful or other vice.
