ASME Codes

[SaskRider]

Hey Everyone!

Quick question, Is there somewhere I can find a breakdown of ASME Section VIII Div.1? I mean as in a short version of basic requirements when fabricating pressure vessels. I am okay with looking through the code but it would be nice to have some info to give to my junior QC guys.

Thanks!

You might want to link this question to forum292 for greater response.

Two I would recommend are by Materials Technology Institute. Guidelines for Pressure Vessels & Piping Volumes 1 & 2 by RJ Twigg. I believe they're available through NACE and, I'm sure, other outlets.

Great thanks for the help!

I don't think pressure vessel theory is what you are looking for. I think the best references for you are the following;

For clarification, I omitted the first word in the title of the two publications I recommended. The title is 'Inspection Guidelines for Pressure Vessels and Piping'. I have the Casti book and several other technical reference manuals, but, for training my inspectors I prefer the two volumes I recommended.
