Design
& Calculations
With over 100 years of combined Filtration Industry experience Vee
Bee maintains a staff with Advanced Degrees and National Certification
in engineering disciplines. Vee Bee, pride themselves on their ability
to design in full and manufacture bespoke strainers and filters. |
 |
Material
Selection / Approval
Vee Bee always put their parts through vigorous testing before qualifying
as acceptable to use components. Vee Bee work closely with their
Supplier base to ensure that specific application requirements are
covered from all angles. |
 |
3-D Modelling
Vee Bee, have made significant investments in Pro/Engineer,
Pro/Mechanica, AutoCAD and many other packages to ensure that
every part is built to the customer's expectations. |

C.F.D.
& Heat Transfer
A Computational Technology that can model a strainer or filter allowing
for study. Apply the fluid flow physics to this virtual prototype,
and the software outputs a prediction of the fluid flow behaviour.
It not only predicts fluid flow behaviour, but also the transfer
of heat, mass, phase change, chemical reaction and stress or deformation
of related solid structures. |
 |
Thermal
& Cyclic Loading and Transient Effects
All aspects of the design build need to considered. Parts such as
Gaskets / Bolting / O-Rings / Washers / Connections / Ancillary
piping / Gauges and all other related additional parts must be taken
into consideration when designing to Thermal, Cyclic, or Transient
conditions. |

D.P.
(Differential Pressure) Loss Calculations & Charts
Specifically tailored Differential Pressure loss information can
be produced for any given product or application. |
 |
Velocity
and Pressure Distribution
Ensuring that the simplest of details are covered, for example the
orientation of the handle on baskets – what affects does this
have on the flow, velocity, pressure and more importantly what effect
does it have on the basket or mesh itself? |
 |
Upstream
Piping Effects
Different designs warrant different flow dynamics. The effects of
upstream piping configurations will also be considered when designing. |
 |
F.E.A.
Finite Element Analysis – Peace of mind before manufacture
begins. Mathematically a structure can be analyzed and sub-divided
into a mesh of finite sized elements of simple shape. After applying
the appropriate boundary conditions, the nodal displacements are
found by solving the matrix stiffness equation. Once the nodal displacements
are known, element stresses and strains can be calculated. |

CAD/CAM
Casting Methodology
Vee Bee work very closely with their casting foundries to guarantee
the highest quality possible. CAD data solidification software maximizes
the casting process before the pattern is built or any metal has
been poured. |
| |
Feeders,
Risers and Cooling
The feeder and riser sizes, rate of pour and temperature cooling
of the metal are all imperative considerations when producing a
casting. All these steps are taken to produce the best part first
time, defect free. |
| |
Flow
Testing
Flow testing facilities are available in house should specific data
be required on a project by project basis.. |
| |
Proof
Testing
Qualification of design calculations, are checked in first off designs
through testing the finished product to destruction in a controlled
environment. Following satisfactory results from such examinations
the designed products, are still all tested to ensure they meet
the most stringent of testing standard design codes. |
