Simplify
ASME Code
 ASME

 The American Society of Mechanical
Engineers set up a committee in 1911 for the
purpose of formulating standard rules for the
construction of steam boilers & other
pressure vessels.
 This committee is now called the Boiler &

Pressure Vessel Committee.

 WORLDWIDE,THERE ARE VARIOUS
PRESSURE VESSELS FABRICATION
CODES IN USE
 THE EARLIEST CODE USED WAS

BS 5500, WHICH IS A BRITISH CODE
AND IS STILL IN USE
 ASME CODE IS THE WIDELY

USED CODE TODAY

 THE ASME SECTION VIII IS USED FOR
THE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW UNFIRED
PRESSURE VESSELS.
 IT HAS THREE DIVISIONS:

 DIVISION 1(S8/1)
 SOME IMPORTANT POINTS FOR EACH

DIVISION ARE GIVEN IN THE
FOLLOWING SLIDES.

 DIVISION 1 : RULES FOR
CONSTRUCTION OF PRESSURE VESSELS
 DIVISION 2 : ALTERNATIVE RULES FOR

CONSTRUCTION OF PRESSURE VESSELS
 DIVISION 3 : ALTERNATIVE RULES FOR

CONTRUCTION OF HIGH PRESSURE
VESSELS

 S8/1 (DESIGN & TEST CRITERIA)
 Pressure = 3000 psi (MAX.)

 Temperature = No limitation
 Factor of safety = 3.5 Note the change,
Earlier 1.5
 Hydro test = 1.3 x Design pressure

 Pneumatic test = 1.1 x Design pressure
 Operating cycles = 100 – 10 6 Note the change,
Earlier 1.25
 Radiography = Spot TO 100%

 STATIC & MOBILE VESSELS
PERMITTED
9
 S8/2 (DESIGN & TEST CRITERIA)
 Pressure = No limitation
 Temperature = No limitation
 Factor of safety = 3
 Hydro test = 1.25 x Design pressure
 Pneumatic test = 1.15 x Design pressure
 Operating cycles = 100 – 10 6
 NDT = 100%
 Fatigue analysis required
 Proximity analysis of nozzles required
 ONLY STATIC.NO MOBILE VESSELS
PERMITTED
