    About Standard

      SDC Verifier

    ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) has been setting the benchmark for mechanical and pressure equipment safety since 1884. Its standards are globally recognized for ensuring the safe design, construction, and operation of mechanical systems.

    ASME Section VIII, Division 2 (2010) Focused on pressure vessel design for fixed installations. Used for checking longitudinal stress and verifying pressure integrity.

    ASME B31.8 (2018) Covers gas transmission and distribution systems, including pipelines, compressor stations, and offshore connections.

    ASME BTH-1 (2017, 2020, 2023) Defines mechanical and structural requirements for below-the-hook lifting devices. Ensures compliance with ASME B30.20 and safety under variable loading conditions.

    These standards are applicable across energy, infrastructure, and industrial lifting sectors and are fully implemented in SDC Verifier for direct use within structural FEA tools.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Which ASME standards are supported in SDC Verifier?

    We currently support ASME Section VIII Div 2 (2010), ASME B31.8 (2018), and ASME BTH-1 (2017, 2020, 2023).

    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.
