history
The establishment of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) dates back to 1880 when it emerged as a platform for engineers to address the challenges accompanying the rapid growth of industrialization and mechanization. This organization's primary objective shifted towards guaranteeing the safety of machinery employed in manufacturing and construction, with a particular emphasis on boilers and pressure vessels. This shift in focus not only redefined ASME's mission but also laid the foundation for its profound and enduring influence on society today.
