Aipe is an active part of the ASME “The American Society of Mechanical Engineers” working groups through the management of the secretariat of the Italian working groups of sections III, V, VIII and IX.
ASME is one of the most important regulatory institutions for plant engineering companies, as it defines the codes for design, manufacturing and control.
The ASME Working Groups in Italy
In order to make the code issued by ASME increasingly in line with the needs of industry, the work carried out by the Working Groups is of fundamental importance, aimed at adapting the code to the real and daily needs of manufacturing realities.
The working groups established in Italy (IIWG – Italian International Working Group) are three:
- IIWG BPV Section III – Construction of Nuclear Facility Components
- IIWG BPV Section V – Non-Destructive Examination
- IIWG BPV Section VIII – Pressure Vessels
- IIWG BPV Section IX – Welding, Brazing and Fusing
