Pressure vessels additional ASME code considerations

ASME and the American Petroleum Institute (API) have long recognized the serious safety considerations associated with the construction of pressure vessels. Both ASME and API recognize the Code as a recognized safe practice or good engineering practice for the construction of pressure vessels, [additional text left out]... [Pg.192]

There are many opinions regarding the use of Division 1 versus Division 2, but the bottom line is economics. In the article ASME Pressure-Vessel Code Which Division to Choose , the authors have listed a number of factors for consideration. Division 1 uses approximate formulas, charts, and graphs in simple calculations. Division 2, on the other hand, uses a complex method of formulas, charts, and design-by-analysis which must be described in a stress report. Sometimes so many additional requirements are added to (he minimum specifications of a Division 1 vessel that it might be more economical to supply a Division 2 vessel and take advantage of the higher allowalilc stresses. [Pg.18]
