    Why Choose SDC Verifier for ASME Compliance

    open benchmarks to verify design

    Multiple Code Support

    Run design checks based on ASME Section VIII Div 2 (2010), ASME B31.8 (2018), and ASME BTH-1 (2017, 2020, 2023) in a single environment.

    Built-in Stress Checks

    Apply longitudinal stress checks, member strength checks, and pressure-related verifications without building your own spreadsheets or scripts.

    Piping, Pressure, and Lifting

    Use dedicated logic for pressure vessels, gas pipelines, and below-the-hook lifting devices, aligned with the relevant ASME code families.

    Edition-Specific Logic

    Switch between BTH-1 editions (2017, 2020, 2023) and apply edition-specific formulas, factors, and categories as required by your project or client.

    Automated Parameters

    Use built-in tables for load factors, stress categories, design categories, material classes, and other parameters defined in ASME standards — while keeping full control over inputs.

    Fully Documented Reports

    Export detailed calculation reports with ASME code references and governing load cases to support internal reviews and third-party assessments. Final responsibility for code compliance remains with the engineer of record and the reviewing authority.

    About Standard

    SDC Verifier

    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.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Which ASME standards are supported in SDC Verifier?

    SDC Verifier currently includes check sets based on ASME Section VIII Div 2 (2010), ASME B31.8 (2018), and ASME BTH-1 (2017, 2020, 2023). The standards themselves are not distributed with the software.

    Do I need to rework my model to run ASME checks?

    No. SDC Verifier works directly with your existing FEA model in Ansys, Femap, or Simcenter 3D.

    Can I run lifting device checks for different editions of ASME BTH-1?

    Yes. You can select the required edition (2017, 2020, or 2023) and verify members accordingly without manual reconfiguration.

    Is reporting automated?

    Yes. Reports are template-based and include all standard-specific results, plots, and tables — ready for clients or certification bodies.
