The pressure vessels can be either fired or unfired. [17] The pressure may be from external sources, or by the application of heating from an indirect or direct source as a result of a process, or any combination of the two. [18] The rules contained in this section can be used as an alternative to the minimum requirements specified in Division 1.
EN 13445 - Unfired Pressure Vessels is a standard that provides rules for the design, fabrication, and inspection of pressure vessels. EN 13445 consists of 8 parts: EN 13445-1 : Unfired pressure vessels - Part 1: General; EN 13445-2 : Unfired pressure vessels - Part 2: Materials; EN 13445-3 : Unfired pressure vessels - Part 3: Design
This is +10% for PD 5500, and ASME Section VIII div 1 & 2 (with an additional +10% allowance in ASME Section VIII for a fire relief case). ASME has different criteria for steam boilers. Maximum expected operating pressure (MEOP) is the highest expected operating pressure, which is synonymous with maximum operating pressure (MOP). [3]
The ASME developed its boiler code in 1915. The code provided a solid reference of construction standards, but ASME lacked the authority to regulate. This was further complicated by the existence of local and state jurisdictions with their own codes and standards. This resulted in a patchwork of confusion having no basis in consistency.

PD 5500 is a specification for unfired pressure vessels. It specifies requirements for the design, manufacture, inspection and testing of unfired pressure vessels made from carbon, ferritic alloy, and austenitic steels. It also includes material supplements containing requirements for vessels made from aluminium, copper, nickel, titanium and ...
The ASME definition of a pressure vessel is a container designed to hold gases or liquids at a pressure substantially different from the ambient pressure. [2]The Australian and New Zealand standard "AS/NZS 1200:2000 Pressure equipment" defines a pressure vessel as a vessel subject to internal or external pressure, including connected components and accessories up to the connection to external ...
In 1982 the U.S. Supreme Court held that American Society of Mechanical Engineers (a nonprofit association) was responsible for treble damages under the Sherman Act.In 1971 the engineering firm of McDonnell and Miller requested an interpretation of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code from the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Codes Committee.
