 Development

The technology for pressure equipment design continues

to advance each and every day. …100 years

The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code has been

keeping pace with these advances over the last 105 years.

As far back as the 1960s, it was recognized that the

special requirements for design of pressure vessels
operating at pressures over 2000 psi called for special
rules, and ASME issued Sec. VIII, Division 2 of Alternative
Rules for Pressure Vessels.

 The conceptual Change

Since that time…………

has progressed to the stage where a new approach was needed not only in the content of
design codes but in the way they are presented and organized.

International organizations were involved like shell, ABB, BP, Petroleum Association of Japan
etc.

 Development
• To ensure that the 2007 edition of Section VIII, Division 2 addresses user
requirements, Section VIII, Division 2, Certificate Holders listed below performed
a beta test analysis of the new Section VIII, division 2, by using it to design a
vessel previously designed using the 2004 edition of Section VIII, Division 2. The
testing process was critical in establishing the final quality of the new code.
• Organizations involved for performing this analysis.
– ATB Riva Calzoni, SpA

– CBI Services, Inc.

– Hitachi Zosen Mechanical Corp.- Ariake Works

– Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Ind Co.,Ltd.- Nuclear Power Divn.

– Kobe Steel, Ltd.

– Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd.-Ehime Works

– The Japan Steel Works, Ltd.- Muroran Plant

– Larsen & Toubro Limited-Heavy Engineering Division
