This association was founded in 1880 to develop boiler standards. Today, this institution is active in donating financial aid, for the development of technology and the development of human resources in order to improve the quality of human life. This institute is one of the largest publishers of scientific and specialized magazines and every year holds a large number of specialized and professional conferences in various fields of mechanical engineering. ASME standard has more than 130,000 members in 158 countries. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers is one of the oldest organizations that developed standards. This association has written more than 600 standards and regulations, including standards in the field of boilers and pressure vessels, elevators, fluid flow measurement in closed channels, cranes, hand and machine tools.
