Q5: Material Requirements of the ASME BVP Code

How to avoid the most common mistakes when using ASME Code material! You will concisely learn the basics of Section II for ASME material. This course will also focus on the specific requirements from the construction codes for pressure vessels and boilers.
Further important topics are material testing (impact, tensile, etc.), the use of non-ASME material and recertification, filler materials, correct material certificates and marking, yield/tensile/creep strength as a basis of allowable stress values, ASME Code compliant wording for material purchase orders.

The seminar language is English.
