In 2012 the ASME Committee issued a code case: Code Case 2695. This code case gives the
user of the 2012 (and later) version of PV Elite the opportunity of using the technology of
ASME Section VIII, Division 2 to analyze a vessel that is designed to ASME Section VIII,
Division 1.

This can give an advantage to the Division 1 designer, because he may be able to reduce the
thickness of some of the vessel components, affording a saving in metal and welding. This can
give the fabricator an edge in being able to work up a cheaper bid on a particular vessel

Conditions associated with the use of Code Case 2695

The advantage of using Code Case 2695 has been defined above. The detailed requirements for
the extra quality requirements (radiography, documentation etc.), are not imposed for a Division
1 vessel. However, the higher stress value afforded by Division 2 cannot be used when
employing Code Case 2695.

PV Elite allows the design to use Code Case 2695 or not, and he/she can compare the results of
the final design and make an informed choice. To use Code Case 2695 is only a click of the
mouse button away.

How to use Code Case 2695

Open PV Elite, and build your vessel as an ASME Division 1 vessel in the normal way. Include
all the components in the usual way. You can run the calculations in the usual way to get the
report in Division 1 format. This is how you change PV Elite to carry out the analysis it is so
simple:
