Professional ASME-compliant pressure vessel dimension and structural requirement calculator.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides essential engineering tools for designing pressure vessels according to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. It allows AI agents to perform critical structural calculations, including determining the calculate_shell_thickness for cylindrical sections, calculating calculate_head_thickness for various head geometries, and evaluating calculate_nozzle_reinforcement requirements for openings. Users can also retrieve material-specific allowable stress values using get_material_properties to ensure design integrity under specific operating temperatures and pressures.

4 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

calculate_nozzle_reinforcement

Determines if an opening in the vessel requires additional reinforcement and calculates the required area

calculate_head_thickness

Calculates the required thickness for the vessel's end caps (heads)

calculate_shell_thickness

Determines the required total wall thickness for the cylindrical portion of the vessel

get_material_properties

Retrieves allowable stress values for specific materials at given temperatures

Calculate the shell thickness for a vessel with 500 PSI pressure, 400F temperature, 48 inch diameter, SA-516 Grade 70 material, 0.85 joint efficiency, and 0.125 inch corrosion allowance.

The required total wall thickness for the shell is 0.625 inches.

What is the allowable stress for SA-516 Grade 70 at 300 degrees Fahrenheit?

The allowable stress for SA-516 Grade 70 at 300°F is 26,000 PSI.

Check if a 4-inch nozzle requires reinforcement on a shell that is 0.5 inches thick with an opening area of 12.57 square inches and a required reinforcement area of 5.0 square inches.

No, additional reinforcement is not required for this nozzle configuration.

The calculations are based on the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.
