| In 1965 there is still no support for VCF from the industry due to the lack of established standard why this is considered the key to success. A presentation is prepared for the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) since they are by that time leaders in standards. |
| 1981-03-20 | Letter from The National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel inspectors saying that they does not review and comment on engineering design. In order for a design to be acceptable to an Authorized Inspector it has to be acceptable to ASME |
| 1981-07-01 | Letter
from ASME saying they does not prohibit the use of other types of
bolted connections. Designs may be used provided they are designed
in accordance with good engineering practice and the method of design
is acceptable to the Inspector.
Here is a Catch-22 situation between ASME and The National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors where each point to the other, why this approach is abandoned due to the difficulties and managing US authorities from Sweden. |
