PROBAD is the standard solution for code-based strength calculations of pressure parts. PROBAD is successfully used for years worldwide by leading companies of the boilers and vessels industry, in plant design and in piping construction.
The latest status of standards in PROBAD and a continuously technical development is guaranteed by PROBAD maintenance agreements.
PROBAD offers solutions for the effective use of calculation modules in accordance with the standards:
- EN 12952, EN 13480, EN 13445, EN 1591
- ASME Sect. I., ASME Sect. VIII./1, ASME B31.1, ASME B31.3
- AD 2000-sheets, TRD-sheets
- WRC 107, WRC 297
The basic package PB1 contains the graphical user interface and is a prerequisite for the operation of all other calculation modules.

PROBAD features
The main factors some highlights of the PROBAD calculation modules:
- PROBAD is of modular design; this enables licensing individual modules in relation to the company needs (see available PROBAD solutions).
- PROBAD allows not only re-checking defined component dimensions, but also designing or optimizing components.
- The comprehensive component databases of PROBAD include additional norms and standards regarding dimensions, wall thicknessĀ“, tolerances etc.
- Material databases containing EN, DIN and ASME materials are supporting the calculation modules.
The values can be edited or modified individually by the user. - Standard-safety factors of the calculation rules are stored and can be modified in accordance with the projects requirements.
- PROBAD Modeler
- For all PROBAD modules screen inputs and print outputs are currently available in German and English. The dialog system provides convenient help screens, either as text or graphic.
- PROBAD is continuously subject to technical changes and novelties as also for monitoring systems etc.
- Based on the various maintenance agreements, SIGMA GmbH is obliged to keep the solutions up to date by annual releases, so the PROBAD modules are always following the actual codes/standards.
- For PROBAD licensees with maintenance contract a hotline is available.
- Pipe classes can be exported from the pipe series modules to ROHR2
- Import of complex structures from ROHR2 with transfer of the essential parameters
such as dimensional standards and materials.
