This newly updated (2002) CASTI Guidebook efficiently organizes the important materials data used in ASME code design and construction of boilers and pressure vessels. In addition to coverage of ASME Section II, Parts A and B, Materials, this Guidebook also contains a brief history and scope of the B31.1 and B31.3 piping codes, a detailed outline of the materials covered in B31.1 and B31.3 piping codes, and much more. There is also information covering special limitations on B31.3 materials, precautionary service considerations for B31.3 materials, listings of ferrous and nonferrous materials specifications by boiler and pressure vessel code section use, and listings of ASTM and API specifications/grades (for those materials in the B31.1/B31.3 stress tables). The Guidebook provides assistance in understanding broader aspects of the code, as well as focusing on the location of materials requirements and guidance within the various code sections. It is intended to be the ultimate primer for anyone dealing with code materials issues, benefiting everyone from the 'novice' to the 'veteran.' It is written by a long-serving ASME II code committee member, Richard Moen.
