This classic book is the engineer's choice for reliable information on how to fabricate, purchase, test, and inspect pressure vessels that meet ASME code specifications. The seventh edition clearly explains how to meet performance goals and current code requirements in the most cost effective manner possible. The 1991 Department of Transportation standards for cargo tanks - which can now be built and repaired only by ASME certified manufacturers - are reported and interpreted. Procedures for becoming ASME certified are also described. This clear, straightforward guide illustrates how the code applies to each vessel component, and includes tables for calculating allowable internal pressures. Procedures for complying with ASME standards are spelled out on safety procedures for design and maintenance; inspection and quality control; welding procedures and tests; operator qualifications; non-destructive testing; fabrication and installation; and requirements for pressure vessels used in nuclear power plants.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Way too simplified!,
By Mark Ullmann (Jacksonville, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pressure Vessels: The ASME Code Simplified (Hardcover)
This provides a broad overview of the ASME Code pertaining to boilers, process vessels and DOT vessels. It could be useful to a plant engineer needing an overview for code vessel management, but falls short for the engineer involved in the design of pressure vessels.

Get's you into the ballpark quickly,

This review is from: Pressure Vessels: The ASME Code Simplified (Hardcover)
I own the 1977...5th edition, this book quickly allows anovice to gain a fairly comprehensive grasp of the subject. After only a few hours of reading an engineer, designer or draftsperson can generate an informative deduction. The book accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do, and that is simplify a very complicated and costly code.
