Does anyone know the key differences between CODAP/ AD Merkblatter and ASME VIII Div 1?

RE: Codap/ AdM/ASME VIII comparision
I have not read CODAP (french code) and AD Merkblatter (german code), but for sure some of the differences would be on:
- factor of safety
- allowable stress philosophy
- material
- NDE requirements
Comparing the 3 codes you mentioned, ASME VIII-1 is the most common vessel code currently in use outside of the United States.

'Tis also the most common vessel code currently in use inside the United States.

That's a given. :)
rak1,
If you want a comparison between ASME VIII & EN 13445, there's a comparative study paper in the ASME website ht

There are three kinds of people in this world; those who can count and those who can't.

I haven't used Codap but AD-2000 requires impact testing of all weld procedures, without exception, as does EN-13445.
Both AD-2000 and EN-13445 require impact testing of all materials, without exception.
AD-2000 requires a separate design analysis for the hydrostatic test conditions and the factors of safety are different in each situation.
It is easier to use PD5500 than AD-2000 or EN-13445 and, if providing a vessel into Europe under the PED, the customer cannot add conditions or penalties for using one European code over another, Germany tried this by setting inspection levels of 5 years on non AD-2000 vessels, CEN are currently investigating this with a view to penalising the German Authorities.
There are a number of other issues, in AD-2000 you must use waisted stud bolts, for example.
The only way to know all the differences is to get a copy of the code.
