ASME VIII Devision 1 or 2
ASME VIII Devision 1 or 2
(OP)
Hello,
I am reading a comparison of different standards. ASME VIII Division 1 gives more strength, Devision 2 has not the same calculations as EN13445 or PD 5500, but gets the same results. But how do I know which division I shall use when a customer asks me to work according to ASME ?

RE: ASME VIII Devision 1 or 2
However, if your customer is asking for a vessel to "ASME", ask them that if you provide them one to VIII-2, are they able to provide a UDS. When they can't/won't provide that to you, then you can (rightly) conclude that:
a) They don't know what they're doing
b) They likely want a vessel to VIII-1
Have fun with that!

as I understood, it is important to write it down in the contract which division we are using.
Hope we will have fun

The below link should be useful for a quick understanding between the two divisions.

what is a DBA code?
RE: ASME VIII Devision 1 or 2
DBA (Design By Analysis), finite element analysis for example.
