Interpretation: VIII-77-01 Subject: Section VIII, Division 1, U-1(c)(3) Date Issued: January 7, 1977 File: NA Question: What is the correct interpretation of Section VIII, Division 1 with regard to U-1(c)(3) as it relates-to the manufacture and stamping of compressor casings? Reply: The Scope of the present Code and the laws and regulations of some jurisdictions exclude rotating equipment under their definition of pressure vessels. The rules in Section VIII, Division 1 as presently written, may not be complete for the pressure retaining parts of such objects. If a Code "U" symbol is desired, particular attention should be given to the requirements of UG-22. It may be necessary to apply the provisions of U-2(g) or UG-101. In accordance with U-1(1) such objects may be stamped with the Code "U" symbol provided that all requirements are satisfied.

Interpretation: VIII-77-02 Subject: Section VIII, Division 1, UW-51(a)(3) Date Issued: January 7, 1977 File: NA Question: With reference to UW-51(a)(3) is it permissible to qualify radiographic personnel in accordance with SNT-TC-1A by means of certification by an outside organization, such as the Canadian Government Standards Board? Reply: It is not the intent of UW-51(a)(3) to permit qualification of radiographic personnel by anyone other than the Manufacturer of the vessel involved. This would not preclude testing of radiographic personnel by an outside agency such as that which you have described as long as the vessel Manufacturer takes the final responsibility for certifying his personnel.

Interpretation: VIII-77-03 Subject: Section VIII, Division 1, UNF-58 Date Issued: January 18, 1977
