POWER BOILERS, TO THE HIGHEST STANDARD
Based on the American Society of Mechanical Engineers; (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,
Written by two industry experts with over 25 years' experience in training engineers and boiler inspectors,this guide provides a clear understanding of even the most ambiguous Code requirements,drawing on dozens of everyday examples to illustrate the Code's proper application to the design, fabrication, installation, repair, inspection, and testing of all types of power boilers. Skillfully organized,with all related Code information in one place for easy reference,this volume explains the requirements for: Cylindrical components under both internal and external pressure; Formed heads; Braces and stayed surfaces; Reinforced openings in heads and shells; Materials,tolerances,minimums,and maximums; Appurtenances and appliances. This book is more than just a Code "decoder"—you'll also find easy-to-follow procedures for obtaining "S" and "R" stamps,plus a wealth of sample problems,questions,and answers to help you effectively prepare for the National Boiler and Pressure Vessel Board and "A" and "B" endorsement exams. The ASME Code Simplified: Power Boilers is a "must" for all boiler inspectors,engineers,designers,and technicians who need to make sense of one of the industry's most widely used regulatory documents.
