Russian Pressure Vessel Code(s) and Standards
(OP)
Does anyone have experience with Russian Pressure Vessel Code(s) and Standards?
If so, how does it compare with ASME B&PV Code, Section VIII, Div. 1 and/or the European Pressure equipment Directive (PED)?

They use different alloys, typically add vanadium to all alloys, and have unusual theories of metallurgical damage. Could be tricky specifying QC and fab procedures, since you need to be familiar with types of failures common to those alloys.

I am familiar with russian nuclear pressure vessel design code (that is like ASME III) and like ASME, I think there is a little difference between nuclear and non nuclear codes (as you know difference between design procedure of ASME VIII Div 2 and ASME III is not so much).
the russian code on nuclear pressure component design is PNAE G 7-002-86 and it means that it is not updates since 1986 that is one of the most disadvantages of this standard.
According to this standard the safety factor is 2.6 on ultimate tensile strength and 2/3 on yield strength which of them is smaller.
