Need pressure vessel consult in PA

Need pressure vessel consult in PA

(OP)
I need to have both a vacuum vessel and a pressure vesel design that I did certified and stamped.  I am in PA.  Is there any outfit who will certify someone else's design?(obviously I would change whatever they wanted me to)

RE: Need pressure vessel consult in PA

Where is 'PA'?

RE: Need pressure vessel consult in PA

PA could stand for either Panama or Pennsylvania, USA.

PA = Pennsylvania USA

I am not sure that I understand why you are doing this. Unless this is an unusual pressure vessel (high pressure, or subject to cyclic service- ASME VIII Div -2) a PE stamp is not required.

Are you also going to try to fabricate these items ?

Otherwise, why not simply specify in detail what you want and then go to an ASME certified shop and have them build the vessels ?

Here's what I have, maybe you could give me a shoot-from-the-hip opinion on whether or not it's adequate:

36" OD x 36" high (straight section), .180 " thick A36 steel.  Vessel is under a vacuum, so figure 14 PSI external force.  I need to be sure it will not implode.  Currently I have 1/4" thick, 2" wide flanges top and bottom with no reinfocring ribs in the center.
