Paulin Research Group - ABOUT US
Where We Came From
Founder and President Tony Paulin, PE, is the original author and architect of the CAESAR II pipe stress analysis program and established PRG to apply the latest FEA technology to the piping and pressure vessel industries. Founded in 1991, PRG has enjoyed steady and stable growth and expanded its products and features through physical testing and sheer tenacity. We employ a personal style of doing business which sets us apart from the rest of the industry.
Who We Are
PRG develops FEA-based software for the Power, Petrochemical, Offshore & Chemical industries. We offer three software products for your varying analysis needs:
FE/Pipe is PRG’s complete and full-featured FEA package for the pressure vessel and piping engineer. Analysis individual or multi-component geometries to consider the interaction between multiple nozzles, saddles, clips, lugs, bends, etc.
NozzlePRO is a component analysis tool for piping and pressure vessels. The tool brings the accuracy of the finite element method to the engineering community for general design and analysis. NozzlePRO technology is a significant improvement over the limitations inherent in WRC 107/297 methods.
BOS Fluids models steady state and transient flow in liquid or gas carrying piping systems. The program estimates slugging conditions and models unsteady flow conditions.
Consulting is commonly performed for clients who have neither the time nor expertise to solve a set of complex problems. PRG is often consulted on issues such as failure studies, pipe stress analysis checking and model / design review.
At PRG we are in the business of helping our customers solve problems. Our goal is to develop software that will help find the “right” answer, and not simply “good enough”.
Where We Are Going
PRG is dedicated to:
- Continuing to provide our customers with advanced technology and techniques for performing engineering tasks and analyses. We go beyond the standard bells and whistles to focus on providing the engineer with results which are right and not simply “good enough”.
- Continuing to provide our customers with the personal and savvy technical support that they have come to expect. Our support team develops the software. We don’t outsource our support.
- Continue to improve our marketing, sales and communication with our customers so that they have access to the most up-to-date information on products, training and webinars.
