ASME Code & Certification
Whether in plant engineering, as a tank manufacturer or in welding technology - components manufactured in accordance with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code are your key to global markets, especially in the USA and Canada. We support you with a comprehensive range of services from ASME inspections and calculations to competent support with the complete certification process. You can also benefit from our expertise in obtaining special approvals and minimising product liability risks.
The ASME Code sets the standards for quality and safety from the design to the certification of pressure equipment and pressurized components. Components manufactured according to the ASME Code are recognized in over 100 countries worldwide. This makes the ASME Code an indispensable key to accessing global markets. In short, it opens the doors for manufacturers and engineers to offer their innovative and safe products anywhere in the world.
Our experts support you in all phases of certification, calculation, and inspection to ensure the conformity of your products with international standards.
Certification
We can assist you with traditional inspections according to ASME guidelines, as well as with the certification of your entire systems, components and materials according to ASME. Use our expertise to certify your products to ASME standards and open up new, profitable markets, including special requirements for the Canadian market through CRN registration.
Calculation
We use state-of-the-art software to carry out the necessary design calculations for you, based on your technical drawings and parts lists. For existing calculations, we take over the design review, check your data in advance and issue a corresponding certificate. In this way, we guarantee you reliable calculations that comply with ASME requirements and facilitate your certification.
Inspection
Compliance with the complex ASME standards and guidelines is a challenge that we, as an internationally recognised specialist for ASME inspections, can help you with. We offer qualified personnel for inspections in accordance with the ASME Code, from steam boilers and pressure vessels to piping and valves. Our inspections include quality system monitoring, in-process inspections, final inspections and, if required, the preparation of third party reports for added safety and compliance.
Support: Utilise our extensive expert knowledge for your success! Our experienced ASME inspectors are at your side with their expertise not only to help you understand the legal requirements at the installation site of your system, but also to provide you with practical solutions and strategic insights. We make it easy for you to access our experts directly on site and ensure that you are well informed and prepared.
Seminar programme: Our ASME seminar programme is designed to provide you with an in-depth understanding of the latest developments and innovations in the ASME Code. The seminars cover a wide range of topics that are both technical and practical in order to familiarise you with the various certification modalities. Our range of seminars will keep you up to date with the latest technical and regulatory requirements.
ASME stands for the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, a leading international organization concerned with technical standards and norms in engineering, particularly for the design, manufacture and testing of steam and heating boilers, piping, pressure vessels and other complex plant components.
The ASME Code is a set of rules. It defines the standards for manufacturer certification, quality assurance, design, material selection, fabrication, testing, inspection, acceptance and certification of steam and heating boilers, piping, pressure vessels, fittings and nuclear components. Over 100 countries worldwide recognize the ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code, making it a global benchmark for safety and quality.
ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) focuses on the development of technical standards and norms for mechanical devices. ANSI (American National Standards Institute), on the other hand, serves as the coordinator of U.S. standards organizations and promotes the development of standards created by various sectors, including ASME. In short, ASME establishes the standards, while ANSI accredits these standards and promotes their use at the national level.
The ASME Code sets standards for the design, manufacture, testing and certification of pressure equipment and components. These include a variety of requirements to ensure safety, reliability, and efficiency.
The ASME U-Stamp is a quality mark that confirms the compliance of a pressure vessel or similar equipment with ASME standards and norms. The U-stamp indicates that the product meets the strict requirements of the ASME Code for pressure vessels.
The ASME Code is relevant for a wide range of professionals and companies, including pressure vessel manufacturers, equipment manufacturers and designers, engineering firms, welding contractors, non-destructive testing providers and testing laboratories, and equipment manufacturers acting as general contractors.
The ASME Code applies to a wide variety of pressure vessels, steam and heating boilers, piping, fittings, components for nuclear facilities and many other specialized devices. Any device that is pressurized and used in critical applications must meet the safety and quality standards of the ASME Code.
