NEW YORK, NY — The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) International has formed the ASME Standards Technology Institute (STI). According to the organization, the institute was established to assist ASME codes and standards committees in the development, dissemination, and maintenance of technically relevant codes and standards. The institute will offer research and technical support throughout the entire development phase of the standards process.
The new STI will operate under the Society’s Council on Codes and Standards to ensure that research needed for future development and maintenance of ASME codes and standards will be readily available. ASME says that it aims to enhance equipment reliability, as well as industrial, manufacturing, and public safety.
