This fourth edition of the Companion Guide of ASME Pressure Vessel & Piping Codes has been updated to the current (2010) Code Edition and (2011) Addenda. This edition has 38 chapters authored by 49 experts who have considerably updated and extensively re-written chapters, as well as provided entirely new chapters.

The two volumes, covering Code Sections I through XII, consider the dramatic changes in the industry, state of the art of technology and regulatory practices. Organisational Changes of Boiler & Pressure Vessel Committees are included in the front matter of both volumes of this publication. A unique feature of this publication is the inclusion of all author biographies and an introduction that synthesizes every chapter, along with an extensive index including over 7500 individual terms.
