The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code explained and illustrated! Here is the first book to summarize, simplify, and explain every aspect of Section I of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and its 1995 updates. Written by two industry experts with over 25 years' experience in training engineers and boiler inspectors, this guide provides a clear understanding of even the most ambiguous Code requirements, drawing on dozens of everyday examples to illustrate the Code's proper application to the design, fabrication, installation, repair, inspection, and testing of all types of power boilers. Skillfully organized, with all related Code information in one place for easy reference, this volume explains the requirements for: Cylindrical components under both internal and external pressure; Formed heads; Braces and stayed surfaces; Reinforced openings in heads and shells; Materials, tolerances, minimums, and maximums; Appurtenances and appliances. This book is more than just a Code &'grave;decoder''—you'll also find easy-to-follow procedures for obtaining &'grave;S'' and &'grave;R'' stamps, plus a wealth of sample problems, questions, and answers to help you effectively prepare for the National Boiler and Pressure Vessel Board and &'grave;A'' and &'grave;B'' endorsement exams. The ASME Code Simplified: Power Boilers is a &'grave;must'' for all boiler inspectors, engineers, designers, and technicians who need to make sense of one of the industry's most widely used regulatory documents.Dyer E.
