DIMy – Dimensioning software for pressure equipment

While in plant, apparatus and pipeline construction it is important to manufacture pressurised systems and their components economically, for the operators of these systems, operational safety and availability are decisive factors in addition to investment costs. The dimensioning and design of the safety-relevant components has a major influence on this, and optimising the design in accordance with the various safety and calculation standards requires a great deal of time and experience. DIMy is a powerful graphics-supported software system from TÜV NORD that supports and relieves system planners, designers and experts in the calculation, optimisation and testing of components.

The DIMy software has been continuously developed for over 20 years by TÜV NORD engineers, who calculate and test several thousand pressurised components for customers all over the world every year. Their experience is not only incorporated into the committees that formulate regulations, such as the VdTÜV's Pressure Equipment Working Group (AD), but also directly into the development of DIMy, which ensures that it is always up to date. Around 400 companies at hundreds of workplaces worldwide are now supported by DIMy and the associated service in the planning, construction and placing on the market of pressurised components in accordance with the latest European and international standards.
