FOREWORD ‘The American Society of Mechanical Engineers set up & committee in 1911 for the purpose of formulating standard rules for the construction of steam boilers and other pressure vessels. This committee is now called the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee. ‘The Committee's function is to establish rules of safety governing the design, fabrication, and inspection during construction of boilers and pressure vessels, and to interpret these rules when questions arise regarding. their intent, In formulating the rules, the Commitice ‘considers the needs of users, manufacturers, and inspec- tors of pressure vessels, The objective of the rules is to afford reasonably certain protection of life and Property and to provide # margin for deterioration in Service so as to give reasonably long, safe period of usefulness. Advancements in design and material ‘and the evidence of experience have been recognized. This Code contains mandatory requirements, specific Prohibitions, and nonmandatory guidance for construc- tion! activities. The Code does not address all aspects of these activities and those Which are-not specifically addressed should not be considered prohib- ited. The Code is not a handbook and cannot replace education, experience, and the use of engineering judg. ‘ment, The phrase engineering judgment refers to techni. ‘cal judgments made by knowledgeable designers experi- enced in the application of the Code. Engineering Judgments must be consistent with Code philosophy ‘and such judgments must never be used 10 overrule ‘mandatory requirements or specific prohibitions of the Code. The Code docs 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 fon engineering judgment and standard practices as etermined by the designer. ‘Construction, a8 used in this Foreword, is an albinlusive term comprising materials, design, fabrication, examination, inspection (eating. ceriication, and pressure rele, ‘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 endors- ing 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 regularly to consider revisions of the rules, new rules 48 dictated by technological development, Code Cases, and requests for interpretations. Only the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee has the authority to provide official interpretations of this Code. Requests for revi- sions, new rules, Code Cases, or interpretations shall be addressed to the Secretary in writing and shall give full particulars in order to receive consideration and action (see Mandatory Appendix covering preparation of technical inquiries). Proposed revisions to the Code resulting from inquiries will be presented to the Main ‘Committee for appropriste action. The action of the ‘Main Committee becomes effective only after confirma. tion by letter ballot of the Committee and approval by ASME. Proposed revisions to the Code approved by the Committee are submitted to the American National Standards Institute and published in Mechanical Engl- neering to invite comments 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 beginning with the date of their approval by ASME. ‘Afier Code revisions are approved by ASME, they may be used beginning with the date of issuance shown fon the Addenda. Revisions, except for revisions to ‘material specifications in Section Il, Parts A and B, become mandatory 6 months after such date of issuance, ‘except for boilers or pressure vessels contracted for prior to the end of the 6 month period. Revisions to material specifications are originated by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), 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 specif- cations approved for use in each construction Code are listed in the Appendices of Section 1, Parts A and B. ‘These Appendices list, for each specification, the latest ASTM edition adopted by ASME, and earlier and later editions considered by ASME to be identical for ASME construction. Manufacturers and users of components are cautioned against making use of revisions and Cases that are less restrictive than former requirements without having ‘assurance that they have been accepted by the proper authorities in the jurisdiction where the component is to be insualled. Each state and municipality in the United States and ‘each province in Canada that adopts or accepts one or more Sections of the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code is invited to appoint a representative to act on the Conference Committee to the Boiler and Pressure Vessel ‘Committee. Since the members ofthe Conference Com- mittee are in active contact with the administration and enforcement of the rules, the requirements for inspection in this Code correspond with those in effect in their respective jurisdictions, The required qualifications for ‘an Authorized Inspector under these rules may be ‘obtained from the administrative authority of any state, municipality, or province which has adopted these rules. ‘The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee in the formulation of its rules ané in the establishment of maximum design and operating pressures considers materials, construction, methods of fabrication, inspec- tion, and safety devices, Permission may be granted to regulatory bodies and organizations publishing safety standards 10 use « complete Section of the Code by reference. If usage of « Section, such as Section IX, involves exceptions, omissions, or changes in provisions, the intent of the Code might not be attained. Where a state or other regulatory body, in the printing of any Section of the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, ‘makes additions or omissions, it is recommended that such changes be clearly indicated. ‘The National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors is composed of chief inspectors of states ‘and municipalities in the United States and of provinces. in Canada that have adopted the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. This Board, since its organization in 1919, has functioned to uniformly administer and enforce the rules of the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, The ‘cooperation of that orgenization with the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee has been extremely helpful. ‘The Code Committee 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. Laws or regulations issued by municipal- ity, state, provincial, federal, or other enforcement or regulatory bodies having jurisdiction at the location of an installation establish the mandatory applicability of the Code rules, in whole or in part, within their jurisdiction, Those laws or regulations may require the ‘use of this Code for vessels or components not consid- ‘ered to be within its Scope or may establish additions or deletions in that Scope. Accordingly, inquiries regarding such laws or regulations are to be directed to the issuing enforcement or regulatory body. ‘Questions or issues regarding compliance of a specific ‘component with the Code rules are to be directed to the ASME Cerificate Holder (Manufacturer). Inquiries conceming the interpretation of the Code are to be directed to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee, ASME is to be notified should questions ‘rise concerning improper use of an ASME Code symbol. ‘The specifications for base materials given in Section Ti, Parts A and B are identical with or similar to those cof the American Society for Testing and Materials. ‘When reference is made in an ASME material specifica- tion to an ASTM specification for which a companion ASME specification exists, the reference shall be inter- preted as applying to the ASME material specification. Specifications for welding materials given in Section IL, Part C are identical with or similar to those of the ‘American Welding Society. Not all materials included in the material specifications in Section I have been sudoptod for Code use. Usage is limited to those materials and grades adopted by at least one of the other Sections of the Code for application under rules of that Section. ‘All materials allowed by these various Sections and used for construction within the scope of their rps shall be fumished in accordance with material specifications Contained in Section II or referenced in Appendices A of Section Il, 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 this basis; AP- pendix A to Section Il, Part A and Appendix A to Section Il, Part B list editions of ASME and year dates of ASTM specifications that meet ASME requirements ‘and which may be used in Code construction. Material Produced to an ASME or ASTM specification with Fequirements different from the requirements of the corresponding specifications listed in Appendix A of Pat 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 require. ‘ments of specifications listed in Appendix A of Part A or Part B have been met. Material produced to an ASME or ASTM material specification is not limit 8 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 (weated as such other gender as appropriate. Publication of the SI (Metric) Edition of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code was discontinued with the 1986 Edition. Effective October 1, 1986, the SI Edition was withdrawn as an ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code document, a STATEMENT OF POLICY ON THE USE OF CODE SYMBOLS AND CODE AUTHORIZATION IN ADVERTISING ‘ASME has established procedures to authorize quali fied organizations to perform various activites in ac. cordance with the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. It is the aim of the Society to provide recognition of organizations so authorized. ‘An organization holding authorization to perform vari- us activites in accordance with the requirements of the Code may state this capability in its advertising literature. Organizations that are authorized to use Code Sym- bols for marking items or constructions which have been constructed and inspected in compliance with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code are issued Certificates of Authorization. It isthe sim of the Society {o 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 require- ments. Based on these objectives, the following policy has been established on the usage in advertising of facsimiles of the symbols, Certificates of Authorization, and refer- fence to Code construction. The Mechanical Engineers does not “approve.” “certify,” “te,” of “endorse” any item, construction, or activity ‘and there shall be no statements or implications which might 50 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 beby an association ora society, or by a holder of a Code Symbol who may also use the facsimile in advertising to show that clearly specified items will carry the symbol, General usage is permitted only when all of a manufactur. 1's items are constructed under the rules. American Society of STATEMENT OF POLICY ON THE USE OF ASME MARKING TO IDENTIFY MANUFACTURED ITEMS ‘The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code pro- Vides rules for the construction of boilers, pressure vessels, and nuclear components. This includes re- quirements for materials, design, fabrication, ex. amination, inspection, and stamping. Items" con- structed in accordance with all of the applicable rules Of the Code are identified with the official Code Symbol Stamp described in the goveming 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 wahich is ot constricted in accordance with all of the applicable Fequirements of the Code. tems shall not be described on ASME Data Report Forms nor on similar forms referring to ASME which 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 require- ments GUIDELINE ON THE APPROVAL OF NEW MATERIALS UNDER THE ASME BOILER AND PRESSURE VESSEL CODE Code Policy. It is the policy of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee to adopt for inclusion in Seetion Il, Parts A and B, only such specifications fs have been adopted by the American Society for ‘Testing and Materials, and in Section Ul, Part C, only ‘such specifications as have been adopted by the Ameri- ‘can Welding Society. It is expected that requests for Code approval will normally be for materials for which there is an ASTM ot AWS specification, For other materials, a request shall be made to ASTM or AWS to develop a specifice- tion that can be presented to the Code Committee. It is the policy of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee to consider requests to adopt new ‘materials only from boiler, pressure vessel, or nuclear Power plant component Manufacturers or end users. Further, such requests should be for materials for which there is reasonable expectation of use in a boiler, Pressure vessel, or nuclear power plant component Constructed to the rules of one of the Sections of this Code. ‘Application. The inquirer shall identify to the Com- ‘mittee the Section or Sections and Divisions of the Code in which the new material is to be incorporated, the temperature range of application, whether cyclic service is to be considered, and whether extemal pres- sure service is to be considered. The inquirer shall identify all product forms, size ranges, and specifications for which incorporation is desired. ‘The inguirer shall state whether or not the material is covered by patents, whether or not it is licensed, and if licensed, any limitations on its manufacture, Mechanical Properties. Together with the specifica. tion for the material, the inquirer shall furnish the Commitice with adequate data on which to base design values for inclusion in the applicable tables. The data shall include values of ultimate tensile strength, yield sength, reduction of area, and clongation, at 100°F (or 50°C) intervals, from room temperature 10 100°F w (or 50°C) above the maximum intended use temperature, tunless the maximum intended use temperature does not exceed 100°F. If adoption is desired at temperatures at which time-dependent behavior may be expected to control design values, data on these time-independent ‘Properties shall be provided to a temperature 100°F (50°C) above the temperature at which time-dependent behavior becomes significant. Any heat treatment that is required to produce the tensile properties should be fully described. If coverage is desired at temperatures at which time- dependent behavior may be expected, creep rate and creep rupture strength data of base metal and appropriate weld metals and weldments shall also be provided, at 100°F (or 50°C) intervals to 100°F (or 50°C) above the maximum intended use temperature If adoption at temperatures below room temperature is requested, and if tis desired to take design advantage of increased strength at lower temperatures, data on the time-independent properties shall be provided at 100°F (or S0*C) intervals to and including the lowest intended use temperature, Notch toughness data shall be provided for materials for which Code toughness rules would be expected to apply. The data shall include test results forthe intended Jowest service metal temperature and for the range of ‘material thicknesses desired. For welded construction, the notch toughness data shall include the results of Code toughness tests for weld metal and heat-alfected zone for weldments made by the intended welding Processes. If the material is to be used in components thet operate under extemal pressure, stress-strain curves (tension or compression) shall be fumished, at 100°F (or S0°C) intervals over the range of design temperatures ‘desired. External pressure charts are based on the early Ponion (up to 1% strain) of the stress-strain curve. ‘The stress-strain curve (not load versus extension) shall be determined using @ Class B-2 or betier accuracy extensometer as defined in ASTM E 83. Numerical data, when available, should be submitted. The data should include the original cross-sectional area of the test specimen and stress-strain curves with units marked ‘on them, If the material is to be used in cyclic service and the construction Code in which adoption is desired requires explicit consideration of cyclic behavior, fatigue data shall also be furnished over the range of design temperatures desired. In general, for all mechanical properties, date shall bbe provided from atleast three heats of material mecting all of the requirements of a specification for at least fone product form for which adoption is desired, for each test at each test temperature. When adoption for both cast and wrought product forms is desired, dats from at least three heats each of a wrought and of 2 ‘east product form shall be submitted. It is desired that the data represent all product forms for which adoption is desired. For product forms for which the properties ‘may be size dependent, data from products of different sizes, including the largest size for which adoption is desired, shall be provided. “Test methods employed shall be those referenced in cor by the material specifications, or shall be appropriate ‘ASTM test methods or recommended practices for the properties tested. Information describing service experience in the tem- perature range contemplated will be useful to the Com- mittee. Other Properties. The inquirer shall furnish to the Committee adequate data necessary to establish values for coefficient of thermal expansion, thermal conductiv- ity and diffusivity, Young's modulus, shear modulus, ‘and Poisson's ratio, when the construction Code which adoption is desired requires explicit consideration of these properties. Data shall be provided over the range of temperatures for which the material is to be used. ‘Weldability. The inquirer shall furnish complete data fon the weldability of materiel intended for welding, including data on procedure qualification tests made in ‘accordance with the requirements of Section IX. Weld 1g tests shall be made over the full'range of thickness ‘which the material is to be used. Pertinent informa- tion, such as postweld heat treatment required, suscepti- bility to air hardening, effect of welding procedure and hheat-effected zone and weld metal notch toughness, ‘and the amount of experience in welding the material shall be given. Physical Changes. For new materials, itis important to know the structural stability characteristics and the ‘degree of retention of properties with exposure at temperature. The influence of fabrication practices, such ‘as forming, welding, and thermal eatment, on the mechanical properties, ductility, and microstructure of the material are important, particularly where degrada- tion in properties may occur. Where particular tempera- ture ranges of exposure or heat treatment, cooling rates, combinations of mechanical working and thermal treatments, fabrication practices, exposure 10 particular ‘environments, etc., cause significant changes in the ‘mechanical properties, microstructure, resistance to brit- le fracture, etc., it is of prime importance to call attention to those conditions that should be avoided in service of in manufacture of parts or vessels from the material. ‘Requests for Additional Dats. The Commitiee may request additional data, including data on properties or ‘material behavior not explicitly treated in the construc- tion Code in which adoption is desired. ‘Code Case. The Code Committee will consider the issuance of a Code Case, 10 be effective for a period of 3 years, permitting the use of a new material, that the following conditions are met: (a) the inquires provides evidence that a request for coverage of the material in a specification hes been made 10 ASTM; (b) the material is commercially available and can be purchased within the proposed specification require- ‘ments; () the inquirer shows that there will be a reasonable demand for the material by industry and that there exists an urgency for approval by means of a Code Case; {d) the requests for approval of the material shall clearly describe it in ASTM specification form, including such items es scope, process, manufacture, conditions for delivery, heat treatment, chemical and tensile re- ‘quirements, forming properties, testing. specifications and requirements, workmanship, finish, marking, inspec- tion, and rejection; (e) all other requirements identified previously under Code Policy and Application apply: and (the inguirer shall furnish the Code Commitee ‘with all the data specified in this Appendix.

C.Hehon, Vice Chatman Bucy, Sart Manage € Amon scary PREFACE ‘The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the American Society for Testing and Muterials (ASTM) have cooperated for more than fifty Years in the preparation of material specifications ade. uate for safety in the field of pressure equipment for ferrous and nonferrous materials, contained in Section H (Pant A — Ferrous and Part 'B — Nonferrous) of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. ‘The evolution of this cooperative effort is contained in Professor A.M. Greene's “History of the ASME Boiler Code,” which was published as a series of anicles in Mechanical Engineering from July 1952 through August 1953 and is now available from ASME in 4 special bound edition. The following quotations from this history, which was based upon the minutes of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee, Will help focus on the cooperative nature of the specif. cations found in Section Tl, Material Specifications. “General discussion of material specifications com- prising Paragraphs 1 10 112 of Part 2 and the advisabit. ity of having them agree with ASTM specifications,” (1914). “ASME Subcommitee ASTM,” (1916). "Because of this cooperation the specifications of the 1918 Edition of the ASME Boiler Code were more ‘nearly in agreement with ASTM specifications. In the 1924 Edition of the Code, 10 specifications were in appointed 10 confer with ‘and extending to S-213," (1925), “Section I! was brought into agreement with changes made in the latest ASTM specifications since 1921," iwee on Material Specifications ar- ‘ranged for the introduction of the revisions of many of the specifications s0 that they would agree with the ‘atest form of he earlier ASTM specifications.” (1935) From the preceding, it is evident that many of the material specifications were prepared by the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Committees, then subsequent, by cooperative action, modified and identified as ASTM Parts A and B, currently contain many material specifications which are identical th the corresponding ASTM specifications and some Which have been modified for Code usage Jn 1969, the American Welding Society began publi- ‘ation of specifications for welding rods, electrodes, and filler metals, hitherto issued by ASTM. The Boiler and Pressure Vesse! Committee has recognized this yew arrangement, and is now working with AWS on these specifications. Section II, Part C, contains the All identical specifications are indicated by the ‘ASME/ASTM symbols or the ASME/AWS symbols. ‘The specifications prepared and copyrighted by ASTM and AWS are reproduced in the Code with the permis sion of the respective Society. The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee has given careful consider ation to each new and revised ASTM or AWS specifica. tion, and has made such changes as they deemed necessary to make the specification adaptable for Code Usage. In addition, ASME has furnished ASTM with the basic requirements that should govern many pro- osed new specifications, Joint action will continue an
