The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is a professional organization that develops codes and standards, provides technical education, and promotes the engineering profession. ASME is best known for its development of widely adopted safety and design standards, especially for pressure vessels, boilers, piping systems, and other mechanical equipment. ASME standards help ensure that equipment is designed, maintained, and inspected according to recognized safety and performance guidelines.
