Key Elements of Section VIII Division 1 Calculations
ASME® Section VIII, Division 1 provides the foundational framework for designing, constructing, and inspecting pressure vessels.
ASME® Section VIII, Division 1 provides the foundational framework for designing, constructing, and inspecting pressure vessels.
ASME® Section VIII, Division 2 provides an alternative design approach to pressure vessel construction by allowing higher design stress levels in exchange for more rigorous design analysis, material testing, and quality control.
Obtaining and maintaining multiple ASME® Stamp Certificates of Authorization (COAs) can be a complex endeavor for manufacturers and fabricators. This blog post will delve into the challenges and strategies associated with managing multiple COAs, focusing on the ASME® Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC).
The difference between the U designation and the UM designation is related to size. However, this is not the only difference between the two. UM designated pressure vessels are not required to undergo the same inspection regimen as the larger, U stamped pressure vessels.
