    Certain countries have national codes instead of ASME codes and cannot use ASME stamped valves. Valves identical to ASME designs are acceptable. Other valves should be tested similarly to ASME standards or national codes. If a spring loaded valve does not meet a Kd rating of 0.95, the valve design quality is questionable and further review by the owner's engineer is recommended. This document provides background history on pressure relief valves and international practices.

    BACKGROUND HISTORY DOCUMENTATION


    FOR CORRESPONDING PARAGRAPHS OF IP 3-15-1 (REV. 1)
    S

    [H]

    4.1

    Certain countries are subject to national codes and not ASME codes. They will not be able to obtain/use
    ASME stamped valves. Valves which are identical to ASME designs are recognized as acceptable. Other
    valves should be tested in a manner similar to ASME, usually the national code is sufficient. If the
    performance does not meet a Kd = 0.95 for a spring loaded valve, the quality of the design is suspect and
    the Owners Engineer should coordinate appropriate reviews.
