Category: ASME Code Background, History, Interpretations Software: RA-Search Supplier: Reedy Engineering E-mail:
RA-Search is a tool which helps ASME Code users understand Code changes, new technical provisions and interpretations of Code requirements. Important changes are identified as well as new and deleted Code Cases. When Code Cases are incorporated into the Code, comments identify which paragraphs contain the provisions. The software contains three sets of information:
RA-Search Interpretations This database contains all Interpretations that have been published by the ASME. RA-Search Revisions This database contains a commentary by Reedy Engineering to help users understand the changes made to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (Sections I through XII) from 1952 to the present. Guidance is also provided for Code Cases from 1962 to the present. Where possible, it is identified when and where the provisions of these Cases were incorporated into the ASME Code. This database also contains comments on the changes made to the ASME V31.1 and B31.3 Piping Codes. PDF Files Further, the software contains the history of the ASME Code from 1915 to 1952, which was written by Mr. Arthur M. Greene and published by the ASME; ASME Code Commentaries for Section III and Section VIII, Division 2; as well as about 30 other publications of interest to ASME Code users. The databases can be quickly searched by word, phrase, paragraph number, Addenda year or Code Section. One search or inquiry will disclose all hits in both "Revisions" and "Interpretations." In addition, corrected and modified Interpretations are displayed alongside the original. In contrast, looking for an Interpretation in the ASME Code Books can take hours and the search may not be complete.
