Are there any members here familiar with, and who work with these codes?

Curious because I’d like to establish a rapport.  
Thanks.

I used to write for _Mechanical Engineering_ magazine.

We always thanked God we didn’t have to edit with the guys upstairs doing the Pressure Vessel codes, but we knew they paid the rent.

ETA: kind of tangential to major part of your OP. But we already have sort of a rapport, don’t we?

Thanks Leo. I have your contact in my back pocket now. Which is what I was looking for.
