Accurate and Reliable Burst Pressure Analysis for Better Decision-Making
Creaform's burst pressure simulations generate 3D visual reports of the digitized surface. They calculate stress and strain to evaluate burst pressure and its location, using the triaxial strain criteria of API-579. This allows asset owners and service companies to clearly visualize the constraints and limits on their operating pipelines.

FEA Simulation vs. Pipeline Results
Level III assessment, less conservative than other standards, allows for more permissive rates.
FEA simulations provide more accurate burst pressure measurements compared to conservative standard calculations, allowing asset owners to secure more permissive rates (up to 2.5X higher) and optimize preventive maintenance.
