ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) has been setting widely used rules for mechanical and pressure equipment safety since 1884. Its codes help engineers design, construct, and operate mechanical systems safely worldwide.
ASME Section VIII, Division 2 (2010) Covers pressure vessel design and analysis. In SDC Verifier, this standard is used as a basis for longitudinal stress checks and pressure-related integrity checks for vessel components.
ASME B31.8 (2018) Applies to gas transmission and distribution piping systems, including pipelines, compressor stations, and associated facilities. SDC Verifier implements pipeline-related checks based on B31.8 rules.
ASME BTH-1 (2017, 2020, 2023) Defines mechanical and structural design requirements for below-the-hook lifting devices and is used in conjunction with ASME B30.20. SDC Verifier uses BTH-1 to evaluate lifting beams and similar members under variable loading.
These ASME-based check sets are intended for use in energy, infrastructure, and industrial lifting projects and are available as predefined logic blocks inside SDC Verifier.
SDC Verifier includes calculation procedures based on selected provisions of ASME standards. The software does not include, reproduce, or distribute the full text of any ASME standard. To apply these checks correctly, users must have lawful access to the relevant ASME publications and follow them in full.
