Pressure Vessels : The ASME Code Simplified, 9th Edition

Get up to speed with the latest edition of the ASME Boiler & Pressure Code

This thoroughly revised, classic engineering tool streamlines the task of understanding and applying the complex ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code for fabricating, purchasing, testing, and inspecting pressure vessels. The book explains the value of code standards, shows how the code applies to each component, and clarifies confusing and obscure requirements.

Pressure Vessels: The ASME Code Simplified, Ninth Edition enables code compliance on any pressure-vessel-related project?both to obtain certification and to meet performance goals in a cost-effective manner. This new edition has been completely refreshed to align with all changes to the code, and features updated discussions of pressure vessels, high-pressure vessels, design, and fabrication. 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
• Nuclear vessels and required assurance systems
