Abstract
The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) is the primary source of specifications relating to various materials (metals and non-metals), test methods and procedures, including for example, corrosion-resistant materials, and various kinds of mechanical and corrosion tests. The specifications issued by various institutions, including both ASME and ASTM, are adopted as part of the American National Specification Institute (ANSI). Specifications are documents legally prescribing certain requirements regarding composition, mode of manufacture and physical and mechanical properties. Standards are documents representing a voluntary consensus. This chapter briefly discusses some key ASME specifications and their role in the design and construction of pressure vessels. The National Board Inspection Code (NBIC) intends to provide guidance to jurisdictional authorities, inspectors, users and organizations performing repairs and alterations. American Petroleum Institute (API) also has several maintenance and inspection specifications that are common in use in the petrochemical, oil, and gas industries, some of which are described.
