The ASME Standards Collection. ASME is the leading international developer of codes and standards associated with the art, science, and practice of mechanical engineering, starting in 1914 with the first issuance of its legendary Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code.
The final round of the competition will take place at the 2009 ASME International Design Engineering Technical Conference in San Diego, California from August 30 to September 2, 2009. ASME said the research team expects to unveil an improved design of its microbial fuel cell in one to three years. Additionally, the ASME standard includes hand signals for use by employees on the ground to communicate with the scrap handler operator. To comply with ASME BPE standards every weld and component is individually engraved for identification, and the assemblies are supplied with full data manuals.
