Pressure Vessels: The ASME Code Simplified

Rating:
Summary: Get's you into the ballpark quickly
Review: I own the 1977...5th edition, this book quickly allows a
novice to gain a fairly comprehensive grasp of the subject.
After only a few hours of reading an engineer, designer or
draftsperson can generate an informative deduction.
The book accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do,
and that is simplify a very complicated and costly code.

Rating:
Summary: Way too simplified!
Review: This provides a broad overview of the ASME Code pertaining to boilers, process vessels and DOT vessels. It could be useful to a plant engineer needing an overview for code vessel management, but falls short for the engineer involved in the design of pressure vessels.
