Features: This book is a user's guide for Section VIII, Division 1 and Division 2 of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. It briefly introduces concepts such as allowable stress, weld joint coefficient, and brittle fracture, and comprehensively explains the design methods for cylindrical shells, heads, conical sections, flanges, openings and reinforcements, heat exchangers, and other special components through detailed examples. It compares the differences between conventional and analysis-based pressure vessel designs and introduces the classification methods of stress numerical solutions. The appendix also provides useful materials such as the ASME VIII-1 quick reference guide, methods for determining various weld joint coefficients, and calculation tables for various flanges. The book uses engineering examples to explain the design methods for cylindrical shells, heads, conical sections, and other components, introduces the classification of component applications, stress concentration, and stress combinations, and includes practical materials such as the ASME VIII-1 quick reference guide and material grades.
