This committee is now called the Boiler and c Vessel Committee ‘The Committee's function is o establish rules of safety. relating only wo pressure integrity, governing the construc- tion’ of hoilers, pressure vessels, uansport tanks and rhuclear components, and inservice inspection for pressure integrity of naclear components and transport tanks. and 1 interpret these rules when questions arse regarding their intent This code does no issues relat ing wo the construction of beilers, pressure vessels, transport tanks and nuclear components and the inservice inspection ‘of nuclear components and transport tanks. The user of the Code should zefee wo other pertinent codes. standards laws, regulations. or other releva ‘exceptions, the rules do not, of practical necessity. the likelihood and consequences of deterioration in service tclated to specific service fluids or enteral operating envi- ronments. Recognizing this, the Committee has approved 2 wide variety of construction rules inthis Section to llow the user oF his designee to select those whieh will provide a pressure vessel having a margin for deterioration in ser vice so as to give a reasonably Tong. safe period of use fulness, Accordingly. itis not intended that this Section be used ava design handbook: ather.engineering judgment anus be employed in the selection of those sets of Code rules suitable to any specific service or need. ‘This Coke contains mandatory requirements. specific prohibitions, and nonmundatory guidance for constuction activities, The Code does not address all aspects these factivities and those aspects which are not specitically “uldressed should not be eonsidered prohibited. The Code is ot a handbook and cannot replace education, experi- ence. and the use of engineering judgment, The phrase «gineering 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 bbe used to overrule mandatory requirements or specific inhibitions of the Code ress other a documents, Wi sinwtom, 38 usd ns oteword. san allncusive tet som: rising mately, design, fsbretion,eeamimation,saspectior. texung, ‘entation. and presse het ‘The Commitee recognizes that tools and techniques used fr design and analysis change as technology prog- resses and expects engineers 0 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 eomput- ers for the desiga of analysis of components constructed tw the requirements of the Code. However, designers and engineers using computer programs for design or analysis fare cwutioned that they are responsible for all technical sumptions inherent in the programs they use and they tare responsible for the application of these programs © their desige, The Code does aot fully address tolerances, When dimensions, sizes. or other parameters are not specified ‘with tolerances, the values of these parameters are consid- ered nominal and allowable tolerances or local variances may be considered acceptable when based on engineering judgment and standard practices as determined by the desig ‘The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee deals with the care and inspection of boilers and pressure vewsels in service only to the extent of providing suggested rules of good practice as an aid fo owners and their iaypectors.

Proposed revi ‘ions to the Code resulting from inquiries will be presented tw the Main Committee for appropriate action, The actio of the Main Committee becomes effective only after con- tirmation by Tetter ballot of the Committee and approval by ASME, Proposed revisions to the Code approved by the Commit tee are submitted to the American National Standards Insti- tute and published at hurp/estools.asme.ors/esconnect/ publictindex.ch?PublicRe view = 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 of their approval by ASME. After Code revisions are approved by ASME. they may bbe used beginning with the date of issuance shown on the Addenda. Revisions, except for revisions to material specifications in Section Il, Parts A and B, become mands- tory six months after such date of issuance, except for boilers or pressure vessels contracted for prior to the end fof the six-month period. Revisions to material specifica- tions are originated by the American Society for Testing ‘and Materials (ASTM) and other recognized national or imernational 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 Acce 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 by ASME to be identical for ASME construction. ‘The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee 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 identity 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 niles sre 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 questio improper use of an ASME Code symbol. ‘The specitications for materials given in Section IL are identical with or similar to those of specifications published by ASTM, AWS, and other recognized national or interna- tional organizations. When reference is made in an ASME ‘material specification to a aon-ASME specification for which a companion ASME specification exists. the refer- tence shall be interpreted as applying to the ASME material specification. Not all materials included in the material specifications in Section Il have been adopted for Code use. Usage is limited to those materials and grades adopted by at least one of the other Sections of the Code for applica tion 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 Editions in Section TL, Pants A and B, except where otherwise provided in Code ‘Cases or in the applicable Section of the Code.

It is the aim of the 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 © 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 cre issued Certificates of Autho- tization. Itis 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 of the symbols, Certificates of Authorization, and reference to Code construction. ‘The American Society of Mechanical Engineers does not “aporove,” “certify,” “rate,” or endorse” any item, construction. or activity and there shall bbe no statements or implications that might so indicate. An ‘organization holding 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 nents of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel xr "mest 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.

OH ARTICLE 1 (a) When the referencing Code Section does not specify qualifications or doesnot reference directly Article I ofthis Section, qualification may simply involve demonstration in routine manufacturing operations to show that the person: nel performing the nondestructive examinations are compe. tent to do so in accordance with the Manufacturer's ‘established procedures. (h) The ser ofthis Anice is responsible forthe quali- fication and certification of NDE Personnel in accordance ith the requirements of this Article. The Code User's* Quality Program shall stipulate how this is to be aecom- plished. Qualifications in accordance with a prior ition of SNT-TC-1A, or CP-189 ate valid until recertification Recertification or new certification shall bein accordance with the edition of SNT-TC-1A or CP-189 specified in Footnote 3. (i) Limited cenfication of nondestructive examination personnel who do not perform all of the operations of a nondestructive method that consists of more than one ‘operation, or who perform nondestructive examinations of, limited scope, 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 aperson’s cert fication shall be described in the written practice and on the certification () Bither US, Customary Units or St Units may be used for compliance with all equirements ofthis edition, but one system shall be used consistently throughout for all phases of construction, (1) Bither the U.S. Costomary Units or SI Units that are listed in Mandatory Appendix IL are identified in the text, or are identified in the nomenclature for equations shall be used consistently for all phases of construction (eg., materials, design, fabrication, and repors). 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 val- vues in referenced specifications that do not contain I Units shall be converted to SI values to at least three significant figures for use in calculations and other aspects of con- struction. 7-130 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, this Code Section, “Code Usee” is any organization conducting ondesuctive examinations the requirements ofthis Seton 2007 SECTION ¥ 7-150 PROCEDURE (a) The nondestructive examination methods included in this Section are applicable to most geometric configura- tions and materials encountered in fabrication under normal conditions. However, special configurations and materials may require modified methods and techniques, in which cease the Manufacturer shall develop special procedures ‘which are equivalent or superior to the methods and tech- niques 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 capa- bilities shall be equivalent tothe capabilities of the 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 bbe adopted as part of the Manufacturer's quality contro! program. () 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 examina- tion procedures and personnel certification procedures con- forming to the referencing Code requitements, {c) When required by the referencing Code Section, alt 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 to the Inspector on request. At least one copy of each procedure shall be readily avaitable to the Manufacturer's Nondestructive Examination Personne! for their reference and use. 7-160 CALIBRATION (a) The Manufacturer, fabricator, oF installer shal) assure that all equipment calibrations required by Subsec- tion A and/or Subsection B are performed (b) When special procedures are developed [see ‘T-150(a)], the Code User shall specify what calibration is necessary, when calibration is required. T-170 EXAMINATIONS AND INSPECTIONS (a) The Inspector concerned with the fabrication of the vessel or pressure part shal! have the duty of verifying 2007 SECTION ¥ to bis satisfaction that all examinations required by the referencing Chde Section have been made to the require- iments of this Section and the referencing documents). He shall have the Fi ny af these examinations to the extent stated in Cre referenci Throughout this Section of the Code, the word Inspector cans the Auihorized Inspector who has been qualitied as sequined in the v racing Code Sections. 11 The special distinetion established in the various Code Scetions between inspection and examination and the personnel performing them is also adopted in this Code Section, In other words. the term inspection applies o the functions performed by the Authorized Inspector, but the erm examination applies tw thase quality control functions, performed by personnel employed by the Manufacturer ‘One acca of occasional deviation from these distinctions cexivts ln the ASTM Standard Methods and Recommended Practices incorporated in this Section of the Code by reter- cence or hy reproduction in Subsection B. the words inypee tion or Inspector. which frequently occur in the Wext or titles of the referenced ASTM documents, may actually eseribe what the Code calls examination or excaminer This situation exists because ASTM has no occasion 10 be voaverned with the distinetions which the Code makes ARTICLE 1 between inspection and examination. since ASTM activi- ties and documents do not involve the Authorised Inspector described in the Code Sections. However, no attempt has been made to edit the ASTM documents 10 conform with Code usage: this should cause no difficulty ifthe users of this Section recognize that the terms inspection, resting, and examination in the ASTM documents referenced in Subsection B do not deseribe duties ofthe Authorized Code Inspector but eather describe the things 10 be done by the Manutactures’s examination personnel 7-180 EVALUATION The acceptance standards for these methods shall be as stated in the referencing document(s). 7-190, RECORDS/DOCUMENTATION Revords/Documentation shall be in accordance with the referencing document(s) and the applicable requirements tof Subsection A and/or B of this Code Section.
