| description abstract | On April 13, 1966, an inspiration dealing with pressure vessels and piping technology was harnessed by a group of volunteers creating a technical division within ASME to be called by its nickname “PVP.†Their vision was to bring the technical community under one roof and to exchange the technology development in the pressure vessels industry. To house and preserve the organized technical presentations, an ASME Technical Journal was established in 1974 under the name “Journal of Pressure Vessel Technology (JPVT).†Its purpose was to be a journal of archival quality that stood as the repository for all outstanding technical papers and was the technical voice of the Division, publishing four times a year, February, May, August, and November. | |
