ASME B00050 - Section V - Nondestructive Examination
2004 Edition
July 1, 2004
Basic Coverage
This Section contains requirements and methods for nondestructive examination which are referenced and required by other code Sections.
It also includes manufacturer's examination responsibilities, duties of authorized inspectors and requirements for qualification of personnel, inspection and examination.
Examination methods are intended to detect surface and internal discontinuities in materials, welds, and fabricated parts and components. A glossary of related terms is included.
IHS and ASME
IHS has been a leading distributor of ASME standards and codes since 1974. In 1989, IHS and ASME first produced a full-text, electronically searchable, hyperlinked version of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code on CD-ROM. The 2004 edition is now available.
IHS Provides ASME Standards in the Following Formats
- Internet - The IHS Specs & Standards subscription service provides unlimited, immediate access to complete collections of industry, international/national standards and military specifications.
- Intranet or Extranet - Documents reside on corporate internal networks (depending on individual licensing agreements) for quick desktop access, retrieval and sharing.
- CD-ROM or DVD - For locations with strict security or where online communications is an issue.
- Individual Standards - Individual standards documents may be ordered from IHS Standards Store in hardcopy format. IHS subscription customers may purchase individual Portable Document Format (PDF) documents.

ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code
The ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) details the latest rules of safety for the design, fabrication, maintenance and inspection of boilers and pressure vessels, power producing machines (and associated subsystems) and nuclear power plant components.
The 2004 edition of the ASME BPVC contains thousands of pages of new code, standards and figures. Section II-D is now separated into Customary and Metric volumes. New this year, Section XII, Rules for Construction, and Continued Service of Transport Tanks, may soon be referenced by the U.S. Department of Transportation.
Drawing Requirements Manual
The Drawing Requirements Manual (DRM) is a reference for engineers, designers, drafters, machinists and quality control inspectors for preparing engineering drawings for industry, while meeting the requirements of the U.S. Department of Defense. The new 10th Edition DRM includes an introduction section describing specifications and standards that have changed between 1995 and 2000 with current status - new, revised, superseded or canceled.
The DRM and the ASME Y14 Series of drawing and drafting standards are available separately and combined from IHS on CD-ROM.
