Abstract:
ASME, NBBI, and Blast Machines
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is a
nonprofit organization. It provides technical information for
many engineering fields, including pneumatically powered
blast machine pressure vessels—sometimes called pressure
pots. ASME Chapter VIII, Division 1 lists the standards that
nearly all U.S. states have adopted for the design, manufacture,
and inspection of blast machine pressure vessels, such as
Clemco pressure vessels. Canadian provinces have adapted
similar standards. After a pressure vessel passes an ASME
inspection, it receives a certification number that is maintained
by the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors
(NBBI).
