Companion Guide to the Asme Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code

This fourth edition of the “Companion Guide” of ASME Pressure

Vessel & Piping Codes has been updated to the current (2010)

Code Edition and (2011) Addenda. This edition has 38 chapters

authored by 49 experts who have considerably updated and

extensively re-written chapters, as well as provided entirely new

chapters. Unlike the third edition, this fully updated and revised

fourth edition is a classic reference work in a convenient twovolume

format that focuses on all twelve sections of the ASME

Boiler and Pressure Vessel Codes, as well as relevant Piping

Codes and Standards.

The first two volumes covering Code Sections I through XII

consider the dramatic changes in the industry, state of the art of

technology and regulatory practices. Organizational Changes of

Boiler & Pressure Vessel Committees are included in the front

matter of both volumes of this publication. A unique feature of

this publication is the inclusion of all author biographies and an

introduction that synthesizes every chapter, along with an extensive

index including over 7500 individual terms.
