Two standards, ASME N509 and ASME N510, were published in 1975 and 1976. In 1976, under the accredited organization rules, the Committee was reorganized as the ASME Committee on Nuclear Air and Gas Treatment. The scope of responsibility increased to include the development of codes and standards for design, fabrication, inspection, and testing of air cleaningand conditioning components and appurtenances used in safety- related systems in nuclear facilities. ASME AG-1, approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANS!) on April 30, 1985 and issued on February 28, 1986, was the new Code resulting from the increased scope. The first revised edition was approved by ANSI on May 22, 2017. This Code contains mandatory requirements, specific prohibitions, and nonmandatory guidance for construction activities. Construction, as used in this Foreword, is anall-inclusive term relating to material, design, fabrication, inspec~ tion, testing, and certification. The Code does not address all aspects of these activities and those not specifically addressed may be considered. The Code is neither a handbook nor a replacement for education, experience, and the use of engineering judgment, The phrase “engineering judgment” refers to technical judgments made by knowl- edgeable designers experienced in the application of the Code, Engineering judgments must be consistent with Code philosophy and such judgments shall never be used to overrule mandatory requirements or specific prohibitions of the Code. The user is cautioned to carefully review these Code requirements for suitability to specific applications other than nuclear power and nuclear fuel cycle facilities. ‘The Code requirements established by the Committee shall not be interpreted as approving, recommending, or endor- sing any proprietary design. ‘The Committee on Nuclear Air and Gas Treatment meets regularly to consider revisions of the Code requirements, new Code requirements as dictated by technological development, Code Cases, and requests for interpretations. Only the Committee on Nuclear Air and Gas Treatment has the authority to provide official interpretations of this Code. Requests for revisions, new Code requirements, 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 the Correspondence With the Committee page.) This edition of ASME AG-1 was approved by ANSI on August 8, 2019, and issued on January 17, 2020, The requirements of this Standard take effect upon its issue date.ASME COMMITTEE ON NUCLEAR AIR AND GAS TREATMENT (The following isthe roster of the Committee atthe time of approval ofthis Code) STANDARDS COMMITTEE RR Bellamy, Choir, Caml USA, Ie.

As such, users ofthis Code may interact with the Committee by requesting interpretations, proposing revisions or a case, and attending Committee meetings. Correspondence should be addressed to: Secretary, Standards Committee on Nuclear Air and Gas Treatment ‘The American Society of Mechanical Engineers Two Park Avenue New York, N¥ 10016-5990 http://goasmeorg/Inquiry Proposing Revisions. Revisions are made periodically to the Code to incorporate changes that appear necessary or desirable, as demonstrated by the experience gained from the application of the Code. Approved revisions will be Published periodically ‘The Committee welcomes proposals for revisions to this Code. Such proposals should be as specific as possible, citing, the paragraph number(s), the proposed wording, and a detailed description of the reasons for the proposal, includingany pertinent documentation ProposingaCase. Cases may be issued to provide alternative rules when justified, to permit early implementation of an approved revision when the need is urgent, or to provide rules not covered by existing provisions. Cases are effective immediately upon ASME approval and shall be posted on the ASME Committee web page. Requests for Cases shall provide a Statement of Need and Background Information. The request should identify the Code and the paragraph, figure, or table number(s),and be written asa Question and Reply in the same format as existing Cases. Requests for Cases should also indicate the applicable edition(s) of the Code to which the proposed Case applies. Interpretations. Upon request, the Standards Committee on Nuclear Air and Gas Treatment (CONAGT) will render an interpretation of any requirement ofthe Code. Interpretations can only be rendered in response toa written request sent to the Secretary of CONAGT. Requests for interpretation should preferably be submitted through the online Interpretation Submittal Form. The formis accessible at http://g0.asme.org/InterpretationRequest. Upon submittal ofthe form, the Inquirer will receive an automatic e-mail confirming receipt IFthe Inquirer isunable to use the online form, he/she may mail the request to the Secretary of CONAGT at the above address. The request foran interpretation should be clear and unambiguous. Iti further recommended that the Inquirer submit his/her request in the following format: Subject: Cite the applicable paragraph number(s) and the topic of the inquiry in one or two words. Edition: Cite the applicable edition of the Code for which the interpretation is being requested Question: Phrase the question as a request for an interpretation ofa specific requirement suitable for general understanding and use, notas a request for an approval of proprietary design or situation, Please provide a condensed and precise question, composed in such a way thata “yes or “no” reply is acceptable. Proposed Reply(ies): Provide a proposed reply(ies) in the form of “Yes” or “No,” with explanation as needed. If centering replies to more than one question, please number the questions and replies.

CONAGT regularly holds meetings and/ortelephone conferencesthat are opento the public, Persons wishing to attend any meeting and/or telephone conference should contact the Secretary of CONAGT. xlivORGANIZATION OF ASME AG-1 1 GENERAL ‘The ASME Code on Nuclear Air and Gas Treatment consists of Divisions | through IV, All divisions are broken down into sections designated by two capital letters. Each division is made up as follows: Division |: General Requirements Section AA: Common Articles Section AB: System Design Guide Division I: Ventilation Air Cleaning and Ventilation Air Conditioning Section BA: Section DA’ Section SA: Section HA: Section RA’ ca: FA FB Fc: FD) FE: Fans and Blowers Dampers and Louvers Ductwork Housings Refrigeration Equipment Conditioning Equipment Moisture Separators Medium Efficiency Filters HEPA Filters ‘Type II Adsorber Cells: ‘Type Ill Adsorbers Section FF: Adsorbent Media Section FG: Mounting Frames for Air-Cleaning Equipment Section FH: Other Adsorbers Section Fl: Metal Media Filters Section F): Low Efficiency Fil Section FK: Special HEPA Filters Section FL: Deep Bed Sand Filters Section FM: High-Strength HEPA Filters Section FN; Filter Media: High Efficiency Section 1A: Instrumentation and Controls Division II: Process Gas Treatment Section GA: Heat Exchangers Section GB: Noble Gas Hold-Up Equipment Section GC: Gas Compressors and Exhausters Section GE: Hydrogen Recombiners and Igniters Section GF: Gas Sampling Section GG: Scrubbers Section GH: Cyclones Section Section Section Section Section Section xlv Section Gj: Filters Section GK: Mist Eliminators Section GM: Noble Gas Hold-Up Media Division IV: Testing Procedures Section TA: Field Testing of Air Treatment Systems Section TB: Field Testing of Gas-Processing Systems 2 SECTIONS Sections are divided into articles, subarticles, paragraphs, and, where necessary, subparagraphs and subsubparagraphs. 3 ARTICLES Articles are designated by the application letters indi cated above for the sections, followed by Arabic numbers in units of 1000, such as BA-1000 or RA-2000. Where possible, articles dealing with the same topics are the same number in each section in accordance ive with the following: Article Number Title 1000 Introduction 2000 Referenced Documents 3000 Materials 4000 Structural Design 5000 Inspection and Testing 6000 Fabrication, Joining, Welding, Brazing, Protective Coating, and Installation 7000 Packaging, Shipping, Receiving, Storage, and Handling 8000 Quality Assurance 9000 Nameplates and Stamping ‘The numbering of articles and the material contained in thearticles may not, however, be consecutive. Because the complete outline may cover phases not applicable to a particular section or article, the rules have been prepared ‘with some gaps in the numbering, 4 SUBARTICLES Subarticles are numbered in units of 100, such as BA 1100 or RA-1200. a9)5 SUBSUBARTICLES Subsubarticles are numbered in units of 10, suchas BA- 2130, and generally have no text. When a number such as, BA-1110 is followed by text, itis considered a paragraph. 6 PARAGRAPHS Paragraphs are numbered in units of 1, such as BA-2131 or RA-2132 7 SUBPARAGRAPHS Subparagraphs, when they are major subdivisions of a paragraph, are designated by adding a decimal followed by one or more digits to the paragraph number, such as BA-I11L.1 or RA-I111.2. When they are minor subdivisions ofa paragraph, subparagraphs may be designated by lowercase letters in parentheses, such as BA-1111(2) or RA-1111(0). ‘8 SUBSUBPARAGRAPHS. Subsubparagraphs are designated by adding lowercase letters in parentheses to major subparagraph numbers, such as BA-1111.1(a) or RA-1111.2(b). When further subdivisions of minor subparagraphs are necessary, subsubparagraphs are designated by adding Arabic rpumeralsin parentheses to the subparagraph designation, such as BA-LL11(@)(1) or RA-LL11(@)(2) 9 APPENDICES Appendices pertaining to each section appear atthe end of each section and are designated with the section prefix. Nonmandatory appendicesare designated by letters ofthe alphabet, and mandatory appendices are designated by Roman numerals. Metricappendices carry the same desig- nators as customary appendices, with the prefix "M.ASME AG-1-2019 SUMMARY OF CHANGES Following approval by the ASME AG Committee and ASME, and after public review, ASME AG-1-2019 was approved by the American National Standards Institute on August 8, 2019, ASME AG-1-2019 includes the following changes identified by a margin note, (19) Page xiv 1 27 27 30 39 4 50 60 62 75 78 86 1 99 99 102 102 103 103 104 108 110 us 115, 5, 116 116 119 Location Organization of ASME AG-1 ‘AA-1400 AA-6324.3 AA-63244 AA-651L ‘Table AA-10540-1 Article AA-A-3000 AA-AT311 Article AA-C-2000 Section AB BA-1400 BA-¢121 BA-A-1400 DA-1480 Article DA-9000 DA-9100 Figure DA-lI-1000-2 Figure DA-tI-1000-3 Figure DA-lI-1000-4 Figure DA-tI-1000-5 Figures DA-II-1000-6 ‘Table DA-A-1000-1 $A-1400 SA-4410 SA-4430 SA-4451 SA-4455 5A-4533 $A-6122 Chonge Paragraph 1 revised Definitions of manufacturer's qualified standard or material and safe shutdown earthquake editorially revised Paragraph editorially revised Paragraph editorially revised First sentence editorially revised Table editorially revised Editorially revised Editorially revised Editorially revised Added Definitions of axial fans, fan arrangement number, inlet/outlet cones, and stall/surge limit editorially revised Editorially revised Editorially revised Definition of fire damper construction editorially revised Title editorially revised Title editorially revised Title added Title added Title added Title added Title added For DA-9000, Item editorially revised (1) Definitions of accessories and grille editorially revised (2) damper, splitter editorially revised to splitter damper and its definition editorially revised In subpara.
