Question (3): Is "HT" in line 7 of Form U-1A applicable for pressure vessels which do not require a postweld heat

treatment or other heat treatment by the vessel Manufacturer but are constructed of liquid quenched and tempered SA-372 materials? Reply(3): No. See instruction 20, UA-1030, Guide for Preparing Form U-1A .In this case recording of the material specification and grade in the appropriate location(s) adequately defines the heat treatment.

Question (4): If the vessel Manufacturer performs a heat treatment other than a postweld heat treatment, how shall this be recorded on the U-1A Form? Reply (4): This shall be recorded in accordance with Instruction 20 of UA-1030.

Interpretation: VIII-78-55 Subject: Section VIII, Division 1, UG-15 Date Issued: May 8,1978 File: BC76-735 Question: May tubes conforming to the chemical and physical properties, heat treating, and melting requirements of SA-249, Grades TP304 and TP316 but otherwise conforming to the manufacturing procedures, tolerances, test and marking requirements of SA-688 be used under Section VIII, Division 1 construction? Reply: Division 1. Yes. Such material may be used under the provisions of UG-15 of Section VIII,

Interpretation: VIII-78-56 Subject: Section VIII, Division 1, Scope Date Issued: May 8,1978 File: BC78-49 Question: Are hydraulic piston accumulators included in the Scope of Section VIII, Division 1?

Reply: Yes, unless the accumulators in question are excluded from the Scope by the provisions of U-1(c) and, in particular, U-1(c)(3) which applies to mechanical devices where the primary design considerations and/or stresses are derived from the functional requirements of the device or U-1(c)(9) which applies to vessels having an inside diameter not exceeding 6 in. However we caution you that the laws at the point of installation may dictate the construction. As indicated by footnote 1 to U-1, Scope, such laws must be reviewed to determine requirements that may be different or more restrictive than the Code rules.

Interpretation: VIII-78-57 Subject: Section VIII, Division 1, Hydrostatic Testing with Temporary Attachment. Alteration of an Existing Vessel Date Issued: May 8, 1978 File: BC78-115
