ASME Codes to bring to Mechanical PE Exam
ASME Codes to bring to Mechanical PE Exam
(OP)
I already searched the forums for this and couldn't find an answer. I'm taking the PE in about 2 weeks. I know that the test typically asks questions regarding ASME code. I know that it is recommended to bring ASME code to the test as a reference. I went to my work place library and found tons of volumes of ASME code (mostly the Boilers and Pressure Vessel codes). Obviously I'm not going to show up with 50 binders full of ASME BPVC code. Anyone know what I should bring for these types of questions? Is there a single reference that may be good to bring in regards to ASME codes on the exam? Thanks!

The test is a speed test, don't get bogged down sifting through references, or you will miss some low hanging fruit in later questions.
For some good info check out the forums on www.engineerboards.com
Good Luck.

From what I recalled it was recommended to NOT bring any codes as you would be provided what was necessary with the exam. But, that was Oct 2005 . . .
MERM will get you there for 95% of the test. Really.

Some of the HVAC Mechanicals also had code books with them.
As was previously stated any problem that requires use of a code section will reprint the section for the exam. It may not be needed to solve the problem but it was there if the problem referenced it.
I took a number of books but as it turned out I used the same ones everyone had recomended. MERM, Machinery Handbook and Shigley/Mishkey Machine Design.
