Those rules pertain to various issues within each construction typeencompassing design, materials selection and procurement, fabrication, inspection and testing,overpressure protection, and stamping. There are numerous other subsets of these issues, eachhaving its own degree of complexity. Then there are simply those precautions noted throughout thatshould be considered. To the novice first-time user of the Code, this is an awesome task, trying tofind all the rules and guidelines that apply to a given application.

5 Even to the veteran user of theCode, it is surprising what one finds in other parts of the Code that can be of general use was a "novice" first-time user of the Code in the late 1960s and, like all others, was overwhelmed bythe complexity, strange terminology, and shear dimension of the Code. As a metallurgical engineer,my primary interest was in materials but in a broad sense ranging from selection and specification toproperties and environmental effects. And like the typical well organized engineer, I started makingmy own checklists, indexes, and cross references to ensure that my work would be done in the mostefficient and proficient ways 1969, I started what became a long association with the committees that write the have included: Task Groups on Materials Behavior, Physical Properties, Inspection ofReactor Internal Structures, and Environmental Effects; Subgroups on Strength of Ferrous Alloysand Materials, Fabrication, and Examination (SC III); Subcommittees on Specifications, Materials,and Nuclear Power; and the Main Committee of the asme Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.

6 In themid 1970s, my first materials index found its way into Code committee work. Its primary use was inachieving consistency in the use of nominal composition designations throughout the Code. Theformat of that index led to numerous improvements over the years. During this time, peers started torecognize the usefulness of the index, and it was during this time that they encouraged me to publishit so others might also benefit from its many useful first editions ofASME Section II Practical Guideconcentrated primarily on the features of theoriginal "Moen Index". Recognizing that materials support people for Code construction wouldbenefit from additional guidance on materials issues, the 1998 Edition provides additional help inunderstanding broader aspects of the Code as well as focusing on the location of materialsrequirements and guidance within the various Code sections.

7 It is my desire to make this theultimate "primer" for anyone dealing with Code materials issues, benefiting everyone from the"novice" to the "veteran."Richard A.

Thislatest format is keyed to Part D of Section II of the asme Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (B&PVC).As with earlier versions, the primary reason for developing such an index is to assist the infrequentuser of the asme Code with a better understanding of the identification of materials used in ASMECode the mid 1970s, when the author was involved in asme Code committee work associated withthermophysical properties, it was noted that the four principal sections of the asme Code (I, III, VIII,and IX) on occasion referred to materials in their individual stress tables by different nominalcomposition designations.

10 Since there was a necessity at that time to tie thermo-physical properties tonominal compositions, there was first a need to identify and resolve nominal composition designationdifferences within the Code. That exercise resulted in the first version of the Moen the merits of such a materials index were recognized as a tool for maintaining consistency innominal composition designations, there were logical next steps that included the addition ofcorresponding common trade names, asme Code Section usage, minimum specified tensileproperties, and Unified Numbering System (UNS) first few editions of the Moen Index were updated yearly, with significant changes every threeto four years. Throughout these past few years, colleagues continuously encouraged the author topublish the Moen Index. Therefore this book was written. The latest version (this one) now coversmaterial used in Section IV and Section VIII, Division 3 construction.
