The role of Codes and Standards for pressure vessels and piping has increased significantly over the past decade. More and more, developments in Codes and Standards are accommodating the increasing sophistication of analysis methods, the need to address post-construction and operating plant issues, and the efficiencies that may be gained by focusing codes and standards on the areas that present the greatest risk. Codes and Standards for new construction also have had to accommodate greater challenges and more extreme environments imposed by more escalating requirements on piping and pressure vessel design and fabrication. This volume on Codes and Standards has focused on these challenges faced by Codes and Standards development. The topics in this volume include: (1) Socket Welds and Stress Intensification Factors; (2) Developments in Piping Code and Standards; (3) Root Cause Analysis; (4) B31.1 Code Developments and Applications; (5) Flow-Accelerated Corrosion Developments and Applications; (6) Advanced Analysis Methods and the ASME Code; and (7) Application of Advanced Analysis Methods for ASME Code Evaluation. Separate abstracts were prepared for most of the papers in this volume.
