Codes and standards
Support for pressure vessel work according to ASME, EN 13445, AD 2000, EN 1591 and related engineering rules.
Pressure vessel design
Engineering software for safe pressure vessel design.
SOL ALPHA brings the calculation logic of LV engineering software into a web-based platform for pressure vessels, apparatus design and compliant documentation.
Built for calculation tasks engineers actually face
Lauterbach Verfahrenstechnik GmbH has supplied technical calculation software for pressure vessel design and process engineering for more than 40 years. SOL ALPHA continues that engineering focus in a browser-based environment.
Mechanical design
Calculations for shells, heads, flanges, gaskets, nozzles, supports, loads and common pressure equipment details.
Documentation
Structured calculation masks, results, formulas and validation workflows help engineers move from input to documented output.
Pressure equipment topics with searchable depth
The Lauterbach apparatus design portfolio covers pressure vessel and piping tasks across European and ASME-oriented work. SOL ALPHA uses that domain structure to give engineers searchable, web-based entry points.
- Pressure vessel design according to AD 2000, EN 13445 and ASME BPVC VIII-1
- Flanges, gaskets and bolted connections, including EN 1591 related workflows
- Material database and engineering property data for traceable input values
- Piping and pressure equipment checks, including EN 13480 context
- Special modules for geometry, supports, local loads and recurring design cases
- Finite element workflows through the FEA Toolbox for selected special cases
Apparatus design is more than one calculation
Real pressure vessel work combines standards, material selection, load assumptions, component checks and documentation. SOL ALPHA should therefore be discoverable not only for one module name, but for the complete design workflow.
Compliance and transparency
The public SEO pages describe the engineering scope in clear language, while the SOL ALPHA app remains the place where licensed users perform detailed calculations and validation.
From software to engineering support
SOL ALPHA is part of the Lauterbach engineering ecosystem: software, calculation services, consulting and training for process equipment and pressure vessel design.
