ASME Codes
Issued by : American society of mechanical Engineers, New
York.
The codes were first issued in 1915. Since then, many changes have
been made and new sections added to the code as need arose. It is
a LIVE code and is revised and updated periodically. It keeps pace
with time and is responsive to its users.
CODE SYSTEM
In its present from the ASME Code System is a follows
• Spherical
Steps in design -1
• Find service conditions & metallurgy.
• Ensure ductility at service conditions
• Calculate thickness required (TR).
Steps in design -2
• Design thickness = TR + Corr Allow
• Roundup to commercially available thickness
to get nominal thickness
• Find MAWP from nominal thickness
Solve a problem
Calculate the minimum thickness of a cylindrical shell of inside diameter
4000mm, tan to tan length of 8300mm and a design pr. of 100 Kg/sq cmg.
