Section VIII of the ASME Code provides stress allowable values for material specifications that are provided in Section II Parts A and B. Since the adoption of the ASME Code over 60 years ago the incidence of failure has been greatly reduced. The Codes are currently based on strength criteria and advancements in the technology of fracture toughness and fracture mechanics should permit an even greater degree of reliability and safety. This lecture discusses the various Sections of the Code. It describes the basis for the establishment of design stress allowables and promotes the idea of the use of fracture mechanics.
