 Why ASME ?

 The American Society of Mechanical Engineers

Boilers and Pressure Vessels Codes except for
Transportation Tanks (hereafter as ‘ASME Codes’)
have been adopted as boilers and pressure vessels
safety rules by almost all states of US and provinces
of Canada.

 It is mandatory that all boilers and pressure vessels,

which are used in North America and in the scope of
ASME Codes, shall be designed, fabricated and
inspected in accordance with ASME Codes and
stamped ASME Code Symbol stamps.
 Why ASME?
 It is not a mandatory requirement for the boilers
and pressure vessels, which are neither used in
North America nor in the scope of ASME Code, to
bear ASME Code symbols.

 However, above mentioned boilers and pressure

vessels may be stamped ASME Code Symbols in the
following cases providing that they are designed,
fabricated and inspected in conformity with ASME
Codes:
 that required by the end user;
 or that required by the local Jurisdiction in the locations where
the boilers or pressure vessels are used (e. g. Australia, South
America).

5. Test
 Some parts of dryer cylinder is difficult to
determine the maximum allowable working
pressure or thickness

 When a proof test is considered necessary,

the Manufacturer has the responsibility of
performing the test in the presence of the AI.

The test shall be acceptable to the AI and a

test report shall be made available to the AI.
