"A useful addition to any ASME Code shop...This volume does what the title promises...well-written and eminently readable." -- Welding Design and Fabrication [on previous edition]

Get Up to Speed with the ASME Code

Revised and updated, this classic engineering tool simplifies the tasks of understanding and applying the complex ASME Code for fabricating, purchasing, testing, and inspecting pressure vessels.

Clearly explaining changes in B31.3, this Eighth Edition makes it easier to achieve Code compliance on any pressure-vessel-related project, to obtain ASME Code certification, and to meet performance goals in the most cost-effective way possible. Pressure Vessels explains the value of Code standards, shows you how the Code applies to each component, and clarifies requirements that may be confusing. This valuable text also features tables for caluclating allowable internal pressures. You'll learn how to comply with ASME standards for:

* Safety procedures for design and maintenance
* Inspection and quality control
* Welding
* Nondestructive testing
* Fabrication and installation
* Pressure vessels in nuclear power plants

Filled with helpful solutions to typical problems, the new edition of this handy working tool will give you the expertise you need to deal with all the changes in requirements for pressure vessels.
