ASME PTB-3-2022

ASME B&PV Code, Section VIII, Division 2 contains mandatory requirements, specific prohibitions, and nonmandatory guidance for the design, materials, fabrication, examination, inspection, testing, and certification of pressure vessels and their associated pressure relief devices. The 2007 edition of the code has been re-written and reorganized and incorporates the latest technologies for pressure vessel design. Since this initial release, the code has undergone further development in all of its Parts, including refinement of its Part 4 Design-by-Rule (DBR) procedures and Part 5 Design-by-Analysis (DBA) methods. These modifications are captured in this PTB document.
