1968 Alternative Rules for Unfired Pressure Vessels (Sect. VIII Div. 2)
1997 High Pressure Code (Sect. VIII Div. 1)
2007 Re-written Sect. VIII Div. 2

Today 28 books embedded into the US standardization system


Continuously new editions published
Code Case System

700 technical committees continuously working (consensus process)

Over 3800 Volunteers (~10% International)

Until 1971 certification activities limited to USA and Canada, meanwhile expanded
to 75+ countries, accepted in 100+ countries, and translated into Chinese, French,
Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish

Strong relation to in-service initiatives and user groups like API, NACE, .

Summary Material

Both systems (EN and ASME) generally allow the use of each other material

In case material shall be used in both systems dual certified material

To specify the material in a sufficient and economic way, specific comparison


between the EN and ASME Specifications is required. Do not rely on general
statements.

Material specification shall be mainly driven by the needs for the intended service
(good sources are standards like API, NACE, Dechema, )

Make use of supplementary requirements in the specifications.

Do not over-specify

Summary Allowable Stresses

Do not rely on general statements. Specifically compare the material at the


intended temperature

When using the ASME code always consider the option for using Sect. VIII, Div. 2

When comparing austenitic steels also consider the 90% yield option provided for
many materials

The ASME system is much less susceptible to user errors by providing simple
tables with the allowable stresses (no need for calculation of the allowable stress)
