ASME Section VIII

Division 1 & Division 2 (Rules for Construction of Pressure Vessels)

ASME Section VIII is the globally preeminent standard governing the design, fabrication, inspection, and testing of pressure vessels operating in petrochemical, oil & gas, power, and process facilities. POLIEN Engineering delivers comprehensive calculation dossiers covering both Division 1 (Design-by-Rule) and Division 2 (Design-by-Analysis).
