The document outlines various sections and standards from ASME, API, AWS, and general differences between codes and standards. ASME sections provide rules for construction of boilers and pressure vessels. ASME B31 covers pressure piping. API standards relate to welding pipelines, pressure vessel inspection, and above ground storage tanks. AWS standards cover welding symbols, electrodes, and structural welding codes for steel. The main difference between a code and standard is that a code states how to do a specific job while referring to other standards for details.
