The Code

Strength calculation for power boilers

ASME BPVC Section I gives the rules for the construction of power boilers — the pressure-bearing parts such as drums, headers, tubes and connections that must be verified to certify a boiler for the US market. Asoft implements Section I directly so those calculations are consistent, validated and easy to review.

Every result references the relevant ASME clause using the code’s own nomenclature, which keeps case management with your Authorised Inspector fast and defensible.
