I am an new engineer. I'd lilk to know about compare between ASME section VIII div.1 2,3 Please clarification to me

Thank you for your kind cooperation.
 
tananT....
Your question is toooo much "easy" for a tooo much "difficult" question..
I suggest you try to find good information in internet, books, manuals, reading ASME codes, and asking more expert engineers.
 
From the original post, ASME VIII,Div.3 puzzles me
 

chicopee, FYI

BPVC-VIII-3 - 2007 BPVC Section VIII-Rules for Construction of Pressure Vessels Division 3-Alternative Rules High Pressure Vessels
 
tananT, briefly, Div 1 provides relatively simple and conserative design rules applicable to a broad range of vessles.

Div 2 provides a more analytical approach and can result in cost savings due to the less conserative design.

And as RCHandy says, Div 3 is is used for high pressure vessels, where Div 1 rules are not so suitable.

Regards,

Mike
