Overall Summary
ASME Code:
Is Comprehensive - provides rules for materials, design, fabrication, examination, inspection, testing, certification, and pressure relief Is Integrated materials, design, fabrication, inspection and testing rules are integrated a change in one area may require a change in another Is Dynamic evolves and changes to reflect new technology and industry needs
