ASME Section VIII Division 1 focuses on traditional design rules, whereas Division 2 allows for more advanced design methods that offer greater efficiency and safety margins.
Compliance with Division 1 can be ensured by following the design, fabrication, and inspection criteria set out in the ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code, and performing proper testing and inspections.
Yes, but only materials that meet the specified standards for strength, resistance to corrosion, and other properties required for high-pressure operations.
Regular inspections should be carried out throughout the lifecycle of a pressure vessel, with the frequency determined by the type of vessel, operational conditions, and regulatory requirements.
Non-compliance can lead to safety hazards, operational downtime, and legal consequences, including fines or loss of certification.
