ASME Section VIII of the code is dedicated to pressure vessels. It gives detailed requirements for the design, fabrication, testing, inspection, and certification of both fired and unfired pressure vessels. Division 2 provides requirements on materials, design, and nondestructive examination standards.

ASME Section VIII, Division 2 is intended for purpose-specific vessels with a defined fixed location. ... While Division 1 is based on normal stress theory, Division 2 is based on maximum distortion energy (Von Mises).
