Covering the 2007 Edition of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code - Section II Parts A, B & D; the 2006 Addenda of ASME B31.1 - Power Piping Code; and the 2006 Addenda of ASME B31.3 - Process Piping Code

This newly updated Tenth Edition efficiently organizes the important materials data used in ASME Code design and construction of boilers and pressure vessels. In addition to coverage of ASME Section II Parts A and B materials, this Guidebook also contains a brief history and scope of the B31.1 and B31.3 piping codes, a detailed outline of the materials covered in B31.1 and B31.3 piping codes and much more. There is also information covering special limitations on B31.3 materials, precautionary service considerations for B31.3 materials, listings of ferrous and nonferrous materials specifications by boiler and pressure vessel code section use, and listings of ASTM and API specifications/grades (for those materials in the B31.1/B31.3 stress tables.)

Recognizing that materials-support people for Code construction would benefit from additional guidance on materials issues, this Guidebook provided additional help in understanding broader aspects of the Code as well as focusing on the location of materials requirements and guidance within the various Code sections. It also goes one step further by extending the scope of the materials index to cover materials for Section IV, Section VIII - Div. 3 and B31.1/B31.3 construction. This Guidebook is written by a long-serving ASME II Code Committee member, Richard Moen. It is intended to be the ultimate primer for anyone dealing with code materials issues, and will benefit everyone from the "novice" to the "veteran."
