This committee is now called the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee ‘The Committe’s function isto 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 theit intent. This code does not address other safety issues relat- ing to the construction of boilers, pressure vessels, transport tanks and nuclear components, andthe inservice inspection of nuclear components and transport tanks. The user of the 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 extemal operating envi- ronments. Recognizing this, the Committee has approved a wide variety of construction rules in this Section to allow the user or his designee to select those which will provide ‘pressure vesse! having a margin for deterioration in ser- vice so as to give a reasonably long, safe period of use- fulness. Accordingly, itis not intended that this Section beused as. design handbook; rather, engineering judgment ‘must be employed in the selection of those sets of Code rules suitable to any specific service or need. ‘This Code contains mandatory requirements, specific prohibitions, and nonmandatory 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 inthe 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. " Consruction, a sed in ths Foreword, in lichsve tem com prising materials, design, fabrication, examination, inspection, testing, erifcation, and pressure oki. ‘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 are responsible for all technical assumptions inherent in the programs they use and they are responsible forthe 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 consid cred nominal and allowable tolerances or local variances ‘may be considered acceptable when based on engineering, judgment and standard practices as determined by the designer. ‘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 orany form of construction that conforms to the Code rules. ‘The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee meets regu- larly to consider revisions ofthe 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 interpreta- tions of this Code, Requests for revisions, new rules, Code Cases, or interpretations shall be addressed to the Secretary and shall give full particulars in order to receive consideration and action (see Mandatory Appendix cov- cring preparation of technical inquiries). Proposed revi- sions tothe Code resulting from inquiries wll be presented to the Main Committee 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 othe Code approved by the Commit- tee are submitted tothe American National Standards Insti- tute and published at hurp.//estools.asme.org/esconnect! public/index.cfm?PublicReview= Revisions to invite com- ‘ments from all interested persons. After the allotted 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 compo- nents to be stamped with the ASME Code symbol begin- ning with the date oftheir 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 Il, Parts and B, become manda tory 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 specifica- Lions ate uriginated by the American Soviety for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and other recognized national or Intemational organizations, and are usually adopted by ASME. However, those revisions may or may not have any effect onthe 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 TI, Parts A and B, These Guidelines lst, for each specification, the latest edition adopted by ASME, and earlier and later editions considered by ASME to be identical for ASME construction. ‘The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committe in the formu- lation of its rules and in the establishment of maximum design and operating pressures considers materials, con- struction, methods of fabrication, inspection, and safety devices. The Code Committee does not rule on whether acompo- nent 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 rues. ‘Questions or issues regarding compliance of a specific component with the Code rules are to be directed to the ASME Certificate Holder (Manufacturer). Inquiries con- ceming the interpretation of the Code are to be directed to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee. ASME is to be notified should questions arise concerning Improper use of an ASME Code symbol ‘The specifications for materials given in Section II are identical with or similar to those of specifications published by ASTM, AWS, and other recognized national or intemna- tional organizations. When reference is made in an ASME material specification to a non-ASME specification for which a companion ASME specification exists, the refer- ‘ence shall be interpreted as applying to the ASME material specification. Not all materials included in the material specifications in Section I have been adopted for Code use. Usage is limited to those materials and grades adopted by atleast one ofthe other Sections ofthe Code for applica- tion under rules ofthat 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 I or referenced inthe Guidelines for Acceptable ASTM Editions in Section I 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; Guideline for Acceptable ASTM Editions in Section II, Part A and Guideline for Acceptable ASTM. Editions in Section I, Part B list editions of ASME and year dates of specifications that meet ASME requirements and which may be used in Code construction. Material produced to an acceptable specification with requirements different from the requirements of the corresponding speci- fications listed in the Guideline for Acceptable ASTM Egitions in Part A or Part B may also be used in accordance with the above, provided the material manufacturer or ves- sel 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 appropriateSTATEMENT OF POLICY ON THE USE OF CODE SYMBOLS AND CODE AUTHORIZATION IN ADVERTISING 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. Its the aim ofthe Society to provide recogni tion of organizations so authorized. An organization hold- ing 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 constructions that have been con- structed and inspected in compliance with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code are issued Certificates of Autho- tization. Its 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 facsimiles ofthe 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 per- formed) 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 associ 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 carry the symbol. General usage is permitted only when all of a manufacturer's items are constructed under the roles. ‘The ASME logo, which isthe cloverleaf with the 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 mate- rials, design, fabrication, examination, inspection, and stamping. Items constructed in accordance with all of the applicable rules ofthe Code are identified with the 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 con- 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 notrefer to ASME or they should clearly identify all excep- tions to the ASME requirementsPERSONNEL ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee Subcommittees, Subgroups, and Working Groups As of January 1, 2007 MAIN COMMITTEE G.G.

M. Greene's “History of the ASME Boiler Code.” which was published as a series of articles in Mechanical Engineering from July 1952 through August 1953 and is now available from ASME in a special bound. edition, The following quotations from this history, which was based upon the minutes of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Commitee, will help focus on the coopera- tive nature of the specifications found in Section I, Mate~ Fial Specifications “General discussion of material specifications compris- ing Paragraphs 1 to 112 of Part 2 and the advisability of hhaving them agree with ASTM specifications,” (1914). “ASME Subcommittee appointed to confer with ASTM,” (1916), “Because of this cooperation the specifications of the 1918 Edition of the ASME Boiler Code were more nearly inagreement with ASTM specifications. Inthe 1924 Edition of te Code, 10 specifications were in complete agreement with ASTM specifications, 4 in substantial agreement and 2 covered materials for which ASTM had no corresponding specifications." “In Section Il, Material Specifications, the paragraphs were given new numbers beginning with S-I and extending to $-213," (1925). ‘Section II was brought into agreement with changes made in the latest ASTM specifications since 1921,” (1932), “The Subcommittee on Material Specifications arranged for the introduction ofthe revisions of many of the specif- cations so that they would agree with the latest form of the earlier ASTM specifications..." (1935). From the preceding, itis evident that many of the mate- rial specifications were prepared by the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Committees, then subsequently, by coopera tive action, modified and identified as ASTM specifica- tions. Section Il, Parts A and B, currently contain many material specifications which are identical with the core ponding ASTM specifications and some which have been modified for Code usage. Many ofthese specifications are published in dual format. That is, they contain both U.S. Customary units and SI units. The metrication protocols followed in the specifications are those adopted by ASTM, and are usually to the rules of IEEE/ASTM 10-1997 Stan- dard forthe Use of the International System of Units (SI The Modern Metric System. In 1969, the American Welding Society began publica- tion of specifications for welding rods, electrodes, and filler metals, hitherto issued by ASTM. The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee has recognized this new arrangement, and is now working with AWS on these specifications, Section Tl Part C, contains the welding material specifica- tions approved for Code use. In 1992, the ASME Board of Pressure Technology Codes and Standards endorsed the use of non-ASTM material for Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code applications. It is the intent to follow the procedures and practices currently in ‘use to implement the adoption of non-ASTM materials. All identical specifications are indicated by the ASME/originating organization symbols. The specifica- tions prepared and copyrighted by ASTM, AWS, and other originating organizations are reproduced in the Code with the permission of the respective Society. The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee has given careful consider- ation to each new and revised specification, and has made such changes as they deemed necessary to make the speci- fication adaptable for Code usage. In addition, ASME has furnished ASTM with the basic requirements that should ‘govern many proposed new specifications Joint action will, continue an effort to make the ASTM, AWS, and ASME, specifications identical To assure that there will bea clear understanding on the part of the users of Section Il, ASME publishes both the identical specifications and those amended for Code usage in three parts every three years, in the same page size to ‘match the other sections of the Code, and Addenda are issued annually to provide the latest changes in Section II specifications. ‘The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code has been adopted into law by 50 states and many municipalities in the United States and by all of the Canadian provincesSPECIFICATIONS LISTED BY MATERIALS Steel Plate, Sheets and Strip SA-S68/SA-568M Steel, Sheet, Carbon and High-Strength, Low-Alloy, Hot-Rolled and Cold-Rolled, General Requirements for cee 1077 SA49/SA-T49M_ Steel, Strip, Carbon and High-Strength Low-Alloy, Hot-Rolled General Requirements f0F ......scssscseesessessiesessesseeseeeseess BMS Steel Pipe SA-S3/SA-53M_—_ Pipe, Steel, Black and Hot-Dipped, Zinc-Coated, Welded and Seamless... 171 SA-106 Seamless Carbon Steel Pipe for High-Temperature Service 205 SA-134 Pipe, Stl, Eric Fon (Arc)-Welied (Ses NPS 16 and Ove)... 21 SA-135 Flectric Resistance-Welded Steel Pipe ........ sees oo 2 SA-312/SA-312M Seamless and Welded Austenitic Stainless Stel Pipes. 303 SA-333/SA-333M Seamless and Welded Steel Pipe for Low-Temperature Service............ 539 SA.335/SA-335M Seamless Ferrtic Alloy-Steel Pipe for High-Temperature Service.......... 561 SA-358/SA-358M __Electric-Fusion-Welded Austenitic Chromium-Nickel Alloy Steel Pipe for High-Temperature Service ce OF SA-369/SA-369M Carbon and Ferrtic Alloy Steel Forged and Bored Pipe for High- ‘Temperature Service ......ssesssesseese 637 SA-376/SA-376M Seamless Austenitic Stel Pipe for High-Temperature CentralStation Service sees 107 SA-409/SA-409M Welded Large Diameter Austenitic Stel Pipe for Corrosive or High: ‘Temperature Service ......... + 159 SA426 CCentifugally Cast Ferritc Alloy Stel Pipe for High-Temperature Service .....0+. 789 SA451 CCentifugaly Cast Austenitic Stel Pipe for High-Temperature Service..... 825 SAS24 Seamless Carbon Steel Pipe for Atmospheric and Lower Temperatures .... 973 SA-530/SA-530M General Requirements for Specialized Carbon and Alloy Steel Pipe 983 SAS87 Electric-Resistance-Welded Low-Carbon Steel Pipe for the Chemical Industry 1135 SA-660 CCentifugally Cast Carbon Stel Pipe for High-Temperature Service ....... 1179 SAI Electric-Fusion-Welded Steel Pipe for Atmospheric and Lower Temperatures 1203 SA6T2 Elecric-Fusion-Welded Stel Pie for High-Pressure Service at Moderate ‘Temperatures, 1231 SA-691 Carbon and Alloy Stel Pipe, Electric: Fusion.
