Design rules for impulsively loaded vessels (ILVs) have been incorporated in Section VIII, Division 3 of the ASME Code since 2019, based upon earlier development of ASME Code Case 2564. These rules are particularly applicable to explosive containment vessels (ECVs) used to fully or partially contain the combustion products of explosives. Uses of these ECVs include containment of suspect luggage at airports, bomb disposal, containment of experiments on explosive devices, and destruction of chemical munitions.
