Pressure Vessels Lortz designs and manufactures ASME pressure vessels and API tanks. ASME pressure vessels are designed to Section VIII, Division 1 and Division 2 utilizing state of the art software. Our Senior Pressure Vessel Engineer has more than 30 years of pressure vessel design experience for both ASME Section VIII Division 1 and Division 2 designs. Lortz utilizes SolidWorks design software that is integrated with SigmaNest for error free fabrication; optimum material utilization, and swift material processing. Lortz Quality Assurance capabilities fully support all of the quality disciplines required for high quality pressure vessel manufacture and testing.

The Lortz Engineering Team is 21 Associates strong, 3 MSME, 6 BSME, 5 experienced Project Managers, and 8 SolidWorks Detailers. The Pressure Vessel Engineering Team has 16 years average experience in pressure vessel design and fabrication.
During the proposal stage, each pressure vessel inquiry is analyzed and an engineer assigned to develop the pressure vessel design utilizing Codeware’s Compress software. Lortz does not “short-cut” engineering analysis in developing a proposal.
Each Pressure Vessel order is assigned to a Lortz Project Manager that is involved from day one. The Project Manager is responsible for the entire order scope from order receipt through shipment. MS Project Schedules are created and managed for each project.
When required Lortz Engineering will provide PE certified drawings and calculations.
Engineering software used by Lortz includes:
- Codeware Compress and Coster
- Coade Code Calc ASME Appendix 26 Metal Expansion Joint Analysis
- Coade Caesar II Piping Analysis
- Cosmos Finite Element Analysis
- SolidWorks Design & Modeling
- FLEXXCHECK Bellows Design Analysis SOLIDWORKS advantages
Solidworks Advantages
- Collaboration with customers through the use of eDrawings and other integrated design communication tools to facilitate swift development of optimum end use application design solutions.
- Import and export of more than 25 2D and 3D file formats directly to and from SolidWorks for almost unlimited customer interaction of designs.
- Photorealistic renderings and animations for improved understanding of the final manufactured part.
- Drawing interference detection during design to prevent drawing errors prior to manufacture.
- Substantial reduction in rework and scrap during manufacturing operations.
- Optimal use of raw materials through automatic “nesting” interface.
