We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "ASME",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Processingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Arc Energy achieves ASME 'U and R' certification from
Arc Energy Resources, which we summarised at the time by saying "Weld overlay cladding and fabrication specialist Arc Energy Resources has recently been qualified by ASME, which establishes the codes and rules for pressure vessels, nuclear plant and
boilers".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Precision displacement sensors aid pump research from
Micro-Epsilon UK: "Non-contact, eddy current displacement sensors from Micro-Epsilon are being used on test rigs to help evaluate the leakage and pressure distribution in axial piston pump barrels".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Yokogawa Europe - Industrial Automation
concerning its Largest ever Coriolis mass flowmeter from Yokogawa
- take a look at Largest ever Coriolis mass flowmeter from Yokogawa
which says: "The new Rotamass XR is the largest Coriolis mass flowmeter to be developed by Yokogawa, with a capability of handling a maximum flow rate of 600t/h, for oil, gas and petrochemical applications".
Take a look also at the news release from Emerson Process Management, Hygienic and sanitary meter is electropolished,
as well as New hygienic design Promass Coriolis flowmeter from Endress + Hauser,
and USP Class VI sanitary approval for FEP hose from AdvantaPure.
