The first ASME Code for pressure vessels was issued as Rules for the Construction of Unfiied Pressure Vessels, Section VIII, 1925 edition. The rules applied to vessels over 6 in. in diameter, volume over 1.5 ft and pressure over 30 psi. In December 1931, a Joint APl-ASME Committee was formed to develop an unfiied pressure vessel code for the petroleum industry. The first edition was issued in 1934. For the next 17 years, two separate unfired pressure vessel codes existed. In 1951, the last API-ASME Code was issued as a separate document. In 1952, the two codes were consolidated into one code— the ASME Unfired Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII. This continued until the 1968 edition. At that time, the original code became Section VIII, Division 1, Pressure Vessels, and another new part was issued, which was Section VIII, Division 2, Alternative Rules for Pressure Vessels.
