Thermal and process equipment
Thermal and process equipment covers heat exchangers and pressure vessels: engineered-to-order plant built to codes such as PD 5500.

A measured £2.0bn UK market across a modelled 150 to 250 makers. Everything here is engineered to order by nature, but the work is calculation-heavy and code-governed, so it suits the bespoke build service before any preset: the configurator carries the dimensional and selection layer while the seller's engineers own the code calculations.
What it covers
Example configurable products
- Shell and tube heat exchangers by duty and geometry
- Air blast coolers
- Simple pressure vessels and receivers
The market
Sized and graded, never overstated
Every figure carries its confidence label. Measured comes from a named source; modelled is our own estimate and says so.

Questions
About this category
- Can a configurator handle pressure vessel code calculations?
- No. Nor should it pretend to. A bespoke build carries the dimensional and selection layer (sizes, materials, connections, options) and leaves code calculations and sign-off with your engineers.

If it is dimensioned and quoted repeatedly, a bespoke build on the same runtime can serve it.
