I'm a pipe stress engineer, but I often have to deal with stresses on nozzles, clips, et cetera. I am not up-to-date on the latest ASME BPVC Section VIII. I have access to the code itself, but I don't know if reading hundreds of pages is the best use of my time when I am not in the business of designing pressure vessels. What I mainly want to know is how the latest edition of the code calculates stress and determines allowables and what are the various code cases. Can anyone recommend a good reference book?
