ASME Section II (Materials)

ASME Section II is part of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) standards, focusing on materials used in the design and construction of pressure vessels and piping systems. It specifies the properties, specifications, and quality requirements for various materials, including metals, plastics, and composites. This ensures safety, reliability, and performance in engineering applications. By establishing uniform guidelines, ASME Section II helps engineers select the right materials for specific conditions, ultimately contributing to the integrity and longevity of structures under pressure or extreme conditions.
