Reviews for Applying the ASME Codes - By James A. Wingate

Reviews for Applying the ASME Codes - By James A. Wingate

RE: Reviews for Applying the ASME Codes - By James A. Wingate

No clue.
There are some books on "how to use the ASME Code". This may be one of them. Jawad & Farr may be one, I haven't seen it.
Bednar is "How to design stuff that's required for pressure vessels but where the method isn't covered by the code".
I think Moss is similar.
Megyesy is "How to look stuff up in tables for standard vessels". It's more of a cookbook, less explanation, less theory.
If you're wanting to learn the ASME code, Bednar, Mos, Megyesy are not very good for that. They're handbooks, not introductory texts.
If you're actually using the ASME code to any extent, then you want all three of them.
They overlap a lot, but aren't identical, either.

ASME has some multi-day courses on introduction to the ASME Code, they're pretty decent.

(OP)
I like to treat myself to a text book once in a while for my library but some textbooks are better than others, I was looking for feed back on this one before I commit money to it. It's not available as part of my ASME membership so I can't preview it in AccessEngineering. But there are a couple of pages available for preview on Amazon, and it doesn't look too bad. The reviews on Amazon appear to be for a different book though, so I thought I'd see if anyone on here has thoughts on this book.

I've read the four authors I listed, I agree with you, each has their strengths and weaknesses and it's handy to have all of them when designing.
