Publisher's Synopsis
The new 3rd Edition of the CASTI Guidebook to ASME Section VIII - Div. 1 - Pressure Vessels covers the new 2001 edition of the ASME Section VIII Div. 1 Code and reflects some its very important changes. This CASTI Guidebook is filled with practical examples, used to explain the ASME Section VIII Div. 1 code rules so that code users can walk their way through pressure vessel design calculations, material data, fabrication (welding), NDE inspection and testing. It also contains the finer details of code requirements for pressure vessels to provide clarity, even to the experienced code user. The CASTI Guidebook goes far beyond the literary words of the code by explaining specific code paragraphs and related ASME code interpretations, where even a close study of the code on its own may not produce a clear conclusion. It is written by the former ASME Section VIII Design committee chairman, Will Carter, and long time code user, Bruce Ball. Both are professional engineers with over 60 years of combined experience with pressure vessels and the ASME codes.
