Design
Joseph Oat Engineers are qualified to design the custom pressure equipment you need to perform under demanding conditions. Our design capabilities arise from decades of experience with the ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Codes, thermal/hydraulic/vibration design of shell and tube heat exchangers, and analysis of custom structures under multiple loadings. Joseph Oat designs utilize modern fabrication techniques, knowledge of commercially available materials, and consideration of operation and maintenance requirements to bring you economical, high quality pressure vessels for any application.
