ASME Pressure Vessels and Piping Division Conference 2004
More than 100 paper and panel sessions are planned, as well as tutorials, NDE and Software demonstrations, and the Student Paper Competition.

The PVP Conference is a great place to present your ideas and to meet colleagues as we work to create and advance PVP technologies in addressing present and emerging challenges in our industry.

In response to the re-emergence of the energy crisis in recent months, the PVP 2005 conference will emphasize technologies related to all aspects of the energy industry. These include production, operation and maintenance, transmission, transportation, regulatory issues, decommissioning, and waste disposal.

The ASME Pressure Vessels and Piping Division will sponsor this Conference with participation by the ASME NDE and ASME Pipeline Systems Divisions.
