IHS and ASME collaborate to create the Advantage version of the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code

IHS, a leading global source of critical information and insight, announced the release of IHS ASME BPVC Advantage, an advanced version of the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. The Advantage version of the ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) Code is available online allowing users to work more efficiently with sophisticated and easy-to-use research, reference and collaborative tools. ASME is a not-for-profit professional organization for the mechanical and multidisciplinary engineering and allied sciences communities. “The Advantage version of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code gives engineers the electronic capability to use and share the technical information they’ve been asking for,” said Michael Merker, managing director, C&S Operations of ASME. “The collaboration tools alone will create significant efficiencies across any organization.” Rapid access menus, innovative tracking and annotating features allow users to find, manage and share critical technical information from their desks or mobile devices. “We knew this was going to have a great impact on workflow improvement for our customers,” said Tom Littman, senior vice president, IHS Technical Publishing. “The product was developed with their input, as we took the traditional version of the BPVC from a read-only reference material to a dynamic, interactive tool.”
