Index. 467 47 316 523 533 536 548, 554 562 609 621 623 64 onFOREWORD ‘The American Society of Mechanical Engineers set up a ‘committee in 1911 for the purpose of formulating standard rules for the construction of steam boilers and other pres= sure vessels. This committee is now called the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committe. ‘The Commitee’s function is o establish rules of safety, relating only to pressure integrity, governing the construc~ tion! of boilers. pressure vessels, transport tanks and nuclear components, and inservice inspection for pressure integrity of nuclear components and transport tanks, and to interpret these rules when questions arise regarding their intent. This code does not address other safety issues relating tothe construction of boilers, pressure vessels, transport tanks and nuclear components, andthe inservice inspection ‘of nuclear components and transport tanks, The user of ‘he Code should refer to other pertinent codes. standards, laws, regulations, or other relevant documents. With few exceptions, the rules do not, of practical necessity, reflect the likelihood and consequences of deterioration in service related to specific service fluids or external operating envi- ronments, Recognizing this, the Committee has approved ‘a wide variety of construction rules inthis Section to allow the user or bis designee to select those which will provide a pressure vessel having a margin for deterioration in service so as to give a reasonably long, safe period of use- fulness. Accordingly, itis not intended that this Section be used asa design handbook: rather, engineering judgment must be employed in the selection of those sets of Code rales suitable to any specific service or need. This Code contains mandatory requirements, specific prohibitions, and nonmsndatory guidance for construction activities. The Code does not address all aspects of these activities and those aspects which are not specifically addressed should not be considered prohibited. The Code is not a handbook and cannot replace education, experi- cence, and the use of engineering judgment. The phrase ‘engineering judgment refers to technical judgments made by knowledgeable designers experienced in the application of the Code. Engineering judgments must be consistent with Code philosophy and such judgments must never be used to overrule mandatory requirements or specific prohibitions of the Code. " Cansruton. 3s used inthis Frewoed ita alinesve erm com rising materi, design, ibication, examination, inspection, sting. ercation, and pressive elie. ‘The Committee recognizes that tools and techniques used for design and analysis change as technology prog- resses and expects engineers to use good judgment in the application of these tools, The designer is responsible for ‘complying with Code rules and demonstrating compliance with Code equations when such equations are mandatory. ‘The Code neither requires nor prohibits the use of comput- crs for the design or analysis of components constructed to the requirements of the Code. However. designers and engineers using computer programs for design or analysis ‘are cautioned that they ate responsible for all technical assumptions inherent in the programs they use and they are responsible for the application of these programs to their design, ‘The Code does not fully address tolerances. When dimensions, sizes, or other parameters are not specified With tolerances, the values of these parameters are considered nominal and allowable tolerances or local variances may be considered acceptable when based on engineering, judgment and standard practices as determined by the esigner. ‘The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee deals with the care and inspection of boilers and pressure vessels in service only to the extent of providing suggested rules of good practice as an aid to owners and their inspectors. The rules established by the Committee are not to be interpreted as approving, recommending, or endorsing any proprietary or specific design or as limiting in any way the manufacturer's freedom to choose any method of design ‘or any form of construction that conforms to the Code rules ‘The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee meets rezu~ larly to consider revisions of the rules, new rules as dictated, by technological development, Code Cases, and requests for interpretations. Only the Boiler and Pressure Vessel ‘Committee has the authority to provide official interpretations ofthis Code, Requests for evisions, new rules. Code ‘Cases, or interpretations shal be addressed tothe Secretary in writing and shal give full particulars in order to receive consideration and action (see Mandatory Appendix covering preparation of technical inquiries). Proposed revisions to the Cade resulting from inquiries will be presented to the Main Commitee for appropriate action. The action (of the Main Committee becomes effective only after con- firmation by letter ballot of the Committee and approval by ASME.Proposed revisions tothe Code approved by the Commit- tee are submitted to the American National Standards Inst- tute and published at hiap://estools.asme.org/esconnect/ ublictindex.cfm? PublicReview = Revisions to invite com- ments from all interested persons. After the alloted time for public review and final approval by ASME, revisions are published annually in Addenda to the Code. Code Cases may be used in the construction of components to be stamped with the ASME Code symbol begin- ‘ing with the date of their approval by ASME. After Code revisions are approved by ASME, they may be used beginning with the date of issuance shown on the Addenda, Revisions, except for revisions to material specifications in Section I, Parts A and B. become mandatory six months after such date of issuance, except for boilers or pressure vessels contracted for prior to the end (of the six-month period. Revisions to material speciica- tions are originated by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and other recognized national or international organizations, and are usually adopted by ASME, However, those revisions may or may not have any effect on the suitability of material, produced to earlier editions of specifications, for use in ASME construction, ASME material specifications approved for use in each ‘construction Code are listed in the Guidelines for Accept- able ASTM Editions in Section Il, Parts A and B, These Guidelines list. for each specification, the latest edition adopted by ASME, and earlier and later editions considered bby ASME to be idemtical for ASME construction, ‘The Boiler and Pressure Vesse] Committee inthe formu- lation of its rules and in the establishment of maximum design and operating pressures considers materials, construction, methods of fabrication, inspection, and safety devices. ‘The Code Commitee does not rule on whether a component shall or shall not be constructed to the provisions of the Code. The Scope of each Section has been established to identify the components and parameters considered by the Committee in formulating the Code rules. Questions or issues regarding compliance of a specific component with the Code rules are to be directed to the ASME Certificate Holder (Manufacturer). Inquiries concerning the interpretation of the Code are to be directed to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee. ASME ii to be notified should questions arise concerning improper use of an ASME Code symbol. ‘The specifications for materials given in Section Il are ‘identical with or similarto those of specifications published by ASTM, AWS, and other recognized national or international organizations. When reference is made in an ASME material specification to a non-ASME specification for which a companion ASME specification exists, the reference shall be interpreted as applying to the ASME material specification, Not all materials included in the material specifications in Section II have been adopted for Code use, Usage is limited to those materials and grades adopted by atleast one ofthe other Sections ofthe Code for application under rules of that Section, All materials allowed by these various Sections and used for construction within the scope of their rules shall be furnished in accordance with ‘material specifications contained in Section Il or referenced inthe Guidelines for Acceptable ASTM Eaitions in Section , Parts A and B, except where otherwise provided in Code ‘Cases or in the applicable Section of the Code. Materials, covered by these specifications are acceptable for use in items covered by the Code Sections only to the degree indicated in the applicable Section, Materials for Code use should preferably be ordered, produced, and documented (on tis basis; Guideline for Acceptable ASTM Editions Section Il, Part A and Guideline for Acceptable ASTM Editions in Section II, Part B list editions of ASME and year dates of specifications that meet ASME requirements land which may be used in Code construction. Material produced to an acceptable specification with requirements different from the requirements of the corresponding specifications listed in the Guideline for Acceptable ASTM Editions in Part A or Part B may also be used in accordance With the above, provided the material manufacturer or vessel manufacturer certifies with evidence acceptable to the Authorized Inspector that the corresponding requirements of specifications listed in the Guideline for Acceptable ASTM Editions in Part A or Part B have been met, Material produced to an acceptable material specification is. not limited as to country of origin. When required by context in this Section, the singular shall be interpreted as the plural, and vice-versa: and the feminine, masculine, or neuter gender shall be treated as such other gender as appropriateSTATEMENT OF POLICY ON THE USE OF CODE SYMBOLS AND CODE AUTHORIZATION IN ADVERTISIN ASME has established procedures to authorize qualified organizations to perform various activities in accordance With the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. is the aim ofthe Society to provide recogni- tion of organizations so authorized. An organization holding authorization to perform various activities in accordance with the requirements of the Code may state this capability in its advertising literature. Organizations that are authorized to use Code Symbols for marking items or corstructions that have been con- ‘structed and inspected in compliance with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code are issued Certificates of Autho- rization. [tis the aim of the Society to maintain the standing of the Code Symbols for the benefit of the users, the enforcement jurisdictions, and the holders of the symbols ‘who comply with all requirements Based on these objectives, the following policy has been, established on the usage in advertising of farsimiles of the symbols, Certificates of Authorization, and reference to Code construction. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers does not “approve,” “certify,” “rate,” or “endorse” any item, construction, or activity and there shall be no statements or implications that might so indicate. An organization holding a Code Symbol and/or a Certificate of Authorization may state in advertising literature that items, constructions, or activities “are built (produced or performed) or activities conducted in accordance with the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,” or “meet the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.” The ASME Symbol shall be used only for stamping and nameplates as specifically provided in the Code. However facsimiles may be used for the purpose of fostering the use of such construction. Such usage may be by an associa- tion or a society, or by a holder of a Code Symbol who may also use the facsimile in advertising to show that clearly specified items will cary the symbol. General usage is permitted only when all of a manufacturer's items are constructed under the rules. The ASME logo, which isthe cloverleaf withthe letters ASME within, shall not be used by any organization other than ASME. STATEMENT OF POLICY ON THE USE OF ASME MARKING TO IDENTIFY MANUFACTURED ITEMS ‘The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code provides rules for the construction of boilers, pressure vessels, and nuclear components. This includes requirements for materials, design, fabrication, examination, inspection. and stamping. Items constructed in accordance with all of the applicable rules of the Code are identified withthe official ‘Code Symbol Stamp described in the governing Section of the Code, Markings such as “ASME,” “ASME Standard,” or any other marking including “ASME” or the various Code Symbols shall not be used on any’ item that is not com structed in accordance with all of the applicable require- iments of the Code. Items shall not be described on ASME Data Report Forms nor on similar forms referring to ASME that tend to imply that all Code requirements have been met when. in fact, they have not been. Data Report Forms covering items not fully complying with ASME requirements should not refer to ASME or they should clearly identify all exceptions to the ASME requirements.PERSONNEL ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee Subcommittees, Subgroups, and Working Groups AAs of January 1, 2007 MAIN COMMITTEE c.Feldstein, Vice Chair G..G. archer, Chair 6 5.

They include radiographic examination, ultrasonic examination, liquid penetrant examination, magnetic particle examination, eddy current examination, visual examination, leak testing, and acoustic emission eximination. See Nonmandatory Appendix A of this Article for a listing of common imperfections and ‘damage mechanisms, and the NDE methods that are generally capable of detecting them, (b) For genera terms such as Inspection, Flaw, Discom ‘inuity, Evaluation, etc, refer to Mandatory Appendix I 7-120 GENERAL, (a) Subsection A describes the methods of nondestructive examination to be used if referenced by other Code Sections or referencing documents. (b) Subsection B lists Stendards covering nondestructive examination methods wich have been accepted as standards, These standards are nonmandatory unless spe- Cifically referenced in whole orinpart in Subsection A oras indicated in other Code Sections or referencing document (c) Any reference to a paragraph of any Article in Sub- section A of this Section includes allof the applicable rules in the paragraph! In every case, reference to a paragraph includes al the subparagraphs and subdivisions under that paragraph (d) Reference to a standard contained in Subsection B is mandatory only to the extent specified.” (¢) For those documents that directly reference this Ari ele forthe qualification of NDE personnel. the qualification shall be in accordance with their employer's written practice which must be in accordance with one ofthe following documents (1) SNT-TC-1A.

(iy) The user of this Article is responsible for the qualification and certification of NDE Personnel in accordance with the requirements of this Anticle. The Code User's! Quality Program shall stipulate how this is to be accom: plished. Qualifications in accordance with a prior edition of SNT-TC-IA, or CP-189 are valid until recertification, Recertification or new certification shall be in accordance with the edition of SNT-TC-1A or CP-189 specified in Footnote 3 (i) Limited certification of nondestructive examination personnel who do not perform all of the operations of a nondestructive method that consists of more than one ‘operation, oF who perform nondestructive examinations of limited seope, may be based on fewer hours of training and, experience than recommended in SNT-TC-1A or CP-189. Any limitations or restrictions placed upon a person's cert fication shall be described in the written practice and on the certification, (j) Either U.S. Customary Units or SI Units may be used for compliance with all requirements of this edition ‘but one system shall be used consistently throughout for all phases of construction. (1) Either the U.S. Customary Units or SI Units that are listed in Mandatory Appendix II are identified in the text, or are identified in the nomenclature for equations shall be used consistently for all phases of construction (c.g.. materials, design, fabrication, and reports). Since values in the two systems are not exact equivalents, each system shall be used independently of the other without mixing U.S. Customary Units and SI Units (2) When SI Units are selected, U.S. Customary values in referenced specifications that do not contain SI Units shall be converted to SI values to atleast three significant figures for use in calculations and other aspects of con- struetion. “130 EQUIPMENT It is the responsibility of the Code User to ensure that the examination equipment being used conforms to the requirements of this Code Section. “In this Code Section, “Cade User” is any npanization conducting nondestructive examinations the requirements ofthis Seton 2007 SECTION ¥ 7-180 PROCEDURE (a) The nondestructive examination methods included. in this Section are applicable to most geometric configurations and materials encountered in fabrication under normal conditions. However, special configurations and materials may require modified methods and techniques, in which ‘case the Manufacturer shall develop special procedures which are equivalent or superior to the methods and techniques described in this Code Section, and which are capa ble of producing interpretable examination results under the special conditions, Such special procedures may be modifications or combinations of methods described or referenced in this Code Section, and shall be proved by demonstration to be capable of detecting discontinuities under the special conditions, and such demonstrated capabilities shall be equivalent to the capabilities ofthe methods described in this Code Section when used under more ‘general conditions. Depending on the quality assurance or ‘quality control system requirements of the referencing. Code Section, these special procedures shall be submitted to the Inspector for acceptance where required, and shall be adopted as part of the Manufacturer's quality control program (b) When an examination to the requirements of this Section of the Code is required by other Sections of the Code, it shall be the responsibility of the Manufacturer, fabricator, or installer to establish nondestructive examination procedures and personnel cenification procedures con- forming to the referencing Code requirements (c) When required by the referencing Code Section, all nondestructive examinations performed under this Code Section shall be done toa written procedure, This procedure shall be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Inspector. ‘The procedure or method shall comply with the applicable requirements ofthis Section for the particular examination ‘method, Where so required, written procedures shall be made available (0 the Inspector on request. At least one ‘copy of each procedure shall be readily available to the “Manufacturer's Nondestructive Examination Personnel for their reference and use. T-160 CALIBRATION (a) The Manufacturer, fabricator, or installer shall assure that all equipment calibrations required by Subsec- tion A and/or Subsection B are performed (b) When special procedures are developed [see -150(a]. the Code User shall specify what calibration is necessary. when calibration is required 1-170 EXAMINATIONS AND INSPECTIONS (a) The Inspector concerned with the fabrication of the vessel or pressure part shall have the duty of verifying2007 SECTION V to his satisfaction that all examinations required by the referencing Code Section have been made to the require: ments ofthis Section and the referencing document(s). He shall have the right to witness any of these examinations to the extent stated in the referencing document(s) ‘Throughout this Section of the Code. the word Inspector ‘means the Authorized Inspector who has been qualified as required in the various referencing Code Sections. (b) The special distinction established in the various. Code Sections between inspection and examination and the personnel performing them is also adopted inthis Code Section, In other words, the term inspection applies to the functions performed by the Authorised Inspector, but the {erm examination applies to those quality control functions performed by personnel employed by the Manufacturer. ‘One area of occasional deviation from these distinctions exists. In the ASTM Standard Methods and Recommended Practices incorporated in this Section ofthe Code by refer- cence or by reproduction in Subsection B, the words inspec tion or Inspector, which frequently occur in the text or titles of the referenced ASTM documents, may actually describe what the Code calls examination or examiner: ‘This situation exists because ASTM has no occasion to be concerned with the distinctions which the Code makes ARTICLE 1 between inspection and examination, since ASTM activities and documents do not involve the Authorized Inspector described in the Code Sections, However, no attempt has been made to edit the ASTM documents to conform with Code usage; this should cause no difficulty if the users of this Section recognize that the terms inspection, testing and examination in the ASTM documents referenced in Suibsection B do not describe duties of the Authoriced Code Inspector but rather describe the things 10 be done by the Manufacturer's examination personel 1-180 EVALUATION ‘The acceptance standards for these methods shall be as, stated in the referencing document(s). 7-190 RECORDS/DOCUMENTATION Records/Documentation shall bein accordance with the referencing document(s) and the applicable requirements ‘of Subsection A and/or B of this Code Section.
