Part 1 General Requirements, provides the scope of this division and establishes the
extent of coverage
Part 2 Responsibilities and Duties, sets forth the responsibilities of the user and
Manufacturer, and the duties of the Inspector
Part 3 Materials Requirements, provides the permissible materials of construction,
applicable material specification and special requirements, physical properties, allowable
stresses, and design fatigue curves
Part 4 Design by Rule Requirements, provides requirements for design of vessels and
components using rules
Part 5 Design by Analysis Requirements, provides requirements for design of vessels
and components using analytical methods
Part 6 Fabrication Requirements, provides requirements governing the fabrication of
vessels and parts
Part 7 Examination and Inspection Requirements, provides requirements governing the
examination and inspection of vessels and parts
Part 8 Pressure Testing Requirements, provides pressure testing requirements
Part 9 Pressure Vessel Overpressure Protection, provides rules for pressure relief

Each Part is followed by Normative and Informative Annexes. The Normative Annexes
contain mandatory requirements that must be followed as part of the code. The Informative
Annexes contain suggested good practices.

Insert some detail about the outlines of the Code

Design by Analysis Requirements
The design by analysis procedure requires that a stress analysis be performed and that the
results be evaluated against the criteria of each failure mode. The four failure modes covered
by this method in Division 2 are:

Protection against Plastic Collapse

Protection against Local Failure
Protection against Collapse from Buckling
Protection against Failure from Cyclic Loading
The properties that are needed to perform the stress analysis are detailed below:

Physical properties Youngs Modulus, thermal expansion coefficient, thermal

conductivity, thermal diffusivity, density, Poissons ratio
Strength Parameters Allowable stress, minimum specified yield strength, minimum
specified tensile strength

Monotonic Stress-Strain Curve elastic perfectly plastic and elastic-plastic true stressstrain curve with strain hardening

Cyclic Stress-Strain Curve Stabilized true stress-strain amplitude curve

If any of the loads are changing with time, then the
