Code Case

Code Case refers to approved alternative methods or standards authorized by a governing code authority, such as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), when the original code's requirements are unsuitable or unavailable. It allows engineers and manufacturers to modify or sidestep certain rules while maintaining safety and integrity. Essentially, Code Cases provide a controlled way to adapt standards for unique or new materials, designs, or operating conditions, ensuring that safe, reliable solutions are achievable without compromising regulatory compliance.
