ASME SECT. VIII DIV-I DIVCODES, STANDARDS & SPECIFICATIONS
ASME Section VIII Division-1, 2 & 3 DivisionHistorical Development of ASME Section VIII DivDiv- 1, 2 & 3 In the early 20th century, explosion of steam boilers in U.S was frequent. Occurring rate 1/day. 1914: ASME Boiler and pressure vessel code is published. 1925: First publication of Section VIII Unfired Pressure Vessels. 1934: API+ASME jointly published unfired pressure vessel code for petroleum industry. 1952: These two codes are merged in to single code: ASME Unfired Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII 1968: ASME Section VIII Div-2 is published and Divoriginal code became Div-1 Div 1997: ASME Sec VIII division 3 is published.
ASME Section VIII Division-1, 2 & 3 DivisionASME Section VIII codes are most widely used worldwide. Section VIII is divided into three divisions: Division 1: Rules for construction of pressure vessels Division 2: Alternative Rules for construction of pressure vessels. Division 3: Alternative Rules for construction of high pressure vessels. Division 1 is used most often since it contains sufficient requirements for majority of pressure vessels. The main objective of ASME Code rules is to establish the minimum requirements that are necessary for safe construction and operation. ASME Code defines the requirements for material, design, fabrication, inspection and testing which are needed to achieve a safe design.
ASME Section VIII Division-1 DivisionScope: Applicable for pressure between 15 psig and 3000 psig. Code requirements do not apply to non pressure parts, however welds which attach non pressure parts on pressure parts shall meet code rules.
World Wide Pressure Vessel CodesDifferent industrial nations, institutions and organizations have developed standards and codes of the pressure vessel for Design Fabrication Inspection These codes and standards help the Design,Fabrication, Inspection engineer to size the vessel properly for its safe operation. Advantages of design codes: Proven design based on experience. Inbuilt factor of safety. Amendments of codes are being done at regular interval based on feed back data, design improvements and technological up gradation in materials and fabrication processes.
ASME Section VIII Division-1 DivisionScope: Code identifies specific items for which it is not applicable. This includes:Fired process tubular heaters (e.g. furnaces). Pressure containers which are integral part of mechanical devices (e.g. pumps, turbines). Piping system and their components.

STRUCTURE OF ASME SEC VIII DIV -1 CODE
ASME Section VIII Division-1 DivisionDivision 1 also consists mandatory and non mandatory appendices: Mandatory Appendices: Appendices:It addresses the subjects that are not covered elsewhere in the code. Requirements of this appendices are mandatory.
Nonmandatory Appendices: Appendices:It provides information and suggested good practices. Requirements of these appendices are not mandatory unless specified in purchase order.
ASME Section VIII Division-2 Division Scope of division 2 is identical to that of division 1, however there is no limitation on higher pressure. Allowable stress values are higher for division 2 that division 1, hence division 2 vessels are thinner Vessels constructed with division 2 are economical over division 1 when saving in material cost is higher than the additional cost required to meet stringent requirements of division 2. Economical for higher pressure applications and for more expensive alloy materials.
