The user of the Code shou'd 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 cclated to specific servive tluids or external operating envi ronments, Recognizing this, the Committee has upproved ‘a wide variety of construction rules in this Section to allow the user of his designee to select those which will provide aa pressure vessel having a margin for deterioration in ser vice so as to give a reasonably long, safe period of use fulness. Accordingly, it is not intended that this Section be used as a design handbook; rather, engineering judgment rust be employed in the selection of those sets of Code rules suitable to any specitic service or need. This Code contiins mandatory requirements, specific probihitions, and nonmandatory guidance for constuction activities, The Code does not address all aspects ot these activities and those aspects which are not specifically aduressed should not be considered prohibited. The Code is not a handbook and cannot replace education, experi- ence, and the use of engineering judgment. The phrase engineering judgment refers (0 wehnical judgments wade by knowledgeable designers experienced in the appfication of the Code. Engineering judgments must be consistent with Code philosophy und such judgments must never be used to overrule mandatory requirements or specitic probibitions of the Code, "Conran, saved in his Koen i a al intone ters twisiny maseriah, design, Tbrcion. examinaton, fspestion. eng scan, and presi ee ‘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. cers for the design or analysis of components constructed to the requirements of the Code. However, designers and cengincers 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 ave responsible for the application of these programs (0 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- ered nominal and allowable tolerances or local variances may be considered acceptable when bused on engineerit 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 of 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 mects regu larly to consider revisions of the eules, new cules as dictated by technological development, Code Cases, and requests for interpretations. Only the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Cominittce has the authority to provide official interpreta- tions of this Code, Requests for revisions, new rules. Code ‘Cases. oF interpretations Shall be addressed to the Secretary in writing and shall give full particulars in order to receive ceonsideration and action (see Mandatory Appendix cov- tring preparation of technical inquiries). Proposed revi sions 6 the Code resulting from inquiries will be prevented, to the Main Committee for appropriate action. The action of the Main Commitee becomes effective only after con- firmation by letir 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 Inst- tute and published at hetp:/estools.asme.org/esconnect/ publictindex.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 of their approval by ASME. Afier 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 A 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- tions are originated by the American Society 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 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 II, Parts A and B. These Guidelines list, for each specification, the latest edition ‘adopted by ASME, and carlier and later editions considered bby ASME to be identical for ASME construction ‘The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee inthe 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 a compo- ‘ent 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 con- cceming 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 TL 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 non-ASME specification for ‘which a companion ASME specification exist, the refer- cence 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 at least one ofthe other Sections ofthe 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 Hor referenced inthe Guidelines for Acceptable ASTM Editions in Section 1, Pans 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 Il, Part A and Guideline for Acceptable ASTM Eultions in Section TI, 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 speci- fications 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 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 provedures to authorize qualified orga rations to perform various activities in aceonlance swith the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, lis the aim of the Society to provide recogni- tion of organizations so authorized, An organization hold authorization (@ perform various activities in -e 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 anu! Pressure Vessel Code are issued Certificates of Autho- ization, 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 xyrnbols who comply with all requirements, ‘Baxed on these objectives, the following policy has been ‘established on che usage in advertising of facsimiles of the ols, Certificates of Authorization, and reference t0 Code construction, The American Society of Mechanical Engineers does not > “certify.” “rate.” oF p. or activity and there shall ons 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 associa~ tion or a society. or by a holder of a Code Symbol who may also use the facsimile in advertising 0 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 rules, ‘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 tials, design, fabrication, examination, inspection. and g. ltems constructed in accordance with all of the applicable rules of the Code are identified with the official Code Symbol Stamp deveribed in the governing Section of the Code, Markings such as “ASME.” "ASME Standard.” or any ‘ther 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 ‘ments of the Code lems 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 ll excep- tinns to the ASME requirements,ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ‘The 2007 Edition of Section VIII, Division 2 is the result of an extensive collaborative effort involving ASME Volunteers, ASME Staff, and the following organizations, which without their continued support, vision and ‘understanding of the code development process, publication of this new code would not have been possible.

Those aspects that are not specifically ‘addressed should not be considered prohibited and shall be addressed by appropriate engineering judgment. Engineering judgment shall be consistent with the philosophy of this Division, and such judgments shall never ‘be used to overrule mandatory requirements or specific prohibitions of this Division, 1.4.2 Organization 1.4.2.1. The requirements of this Division are contained in the nine Parts listed below. Each of these Parts and Annexes is composed of paragraphs that are identified by an alphanumeric numbering system in accordance with the ISO Standard Template for the Preparation of Normative-Type Documents. References to paragraphs are made directly by reference to the paragraph number. For example, the Scope is referenced a8 paragraph 1.2. a) Part 1 ~ General Requirements, provides the scope of this division and establishes the extent of coverage b) Part 2 - Responsibilties and Duties, sets forth the responsibilities of the user and Manufacturer, and the duties of the Inspector ©) Part 3 ~ Materials Requirements, provides the permissible materials of construction, applicable material ‘specification and special requirements, physical properties, allowable stresses, and design fatigue curves 4) Part 4 — Design By Rule Requirements, provides requirements for design of vessels and components using rules, 8) Part 5 — Design By Analysis Requirements, provides requirements for design of vessels and components. using anaiytical methods ) Part 6 - Fabrication Requirements, provides requirements governing the fabrication of vessels and parts 9) Part 7 ~ Examination and Inspection Requirements, provides requirements governing the examination and inspection of vessels and parts h) Part 8 - Pressure Testing Requirements, provides pressure testing requirements i) Part 9- Pressure Vessel Overpressure Protection, provides rules for pressure relief devices 4.1.2.2. Mandatory and non-mandatory requirements are provided as normative and informative annexes, respectively, to the specific Part under consideration. The Normative Annexes address specific subjects not ‘covered elsewhere in this Division and their requirements are mandatory when the subject covered is included in construction under this Division. Informative Annexes provide information and suggested good practices. 1.1.2.3 The materials, design, fabrication, examination, inspection, testing, ancl certification of pressure vessels and their associated pressure relief devices shall satisfy all applicable Parts and Normative Annexes shown above in order to qualify the construction in accordance with this Division. 1.4.3 Definitions ‘The definitions for the terminology used in this Part are contained in Annex 1.B. 122007 SECTION Vill, DIVISION 2 12 Scope 4 Overview 4.2.4.4 In the scope of this division, pressure vessels are containers for the containment of pressure, either internal or external. This pressure may be obtained from an external source or by the application of heat from a direct or indirect source as a result of a process, or any combination thereof. 1.21.2 The rules of this Division may be used for the construction of the following pressure vessels. a) Vessels to be installed at a fixed (stationary) location for a specific service where operation and maintenance control is retained during the usetu life of the vessel by the user and is in conformance with the User's Design Specification required by Part 2. b) Pressure vessels installed in ocean-going ships, barges. and other floating cratt or used for motor vehicle or rail freight. For these applications it is necessary that prior written agreement with the local jurisdictional authority be established covering operation and maintenance control for a specific service. This operation and maintenance control must be retained during the useful life of the pressure vessel by the user in conformance with the User's Design Specification required in Part 2. Such a pressure vessel as described above may be constructed and stamped within the scope of this Division provided it meets all other requirements as specified with the following additional provisions. 1} Loading conditions imposed by movement of the pressure vessel during operation and by relocation of the pressure vessel between work sites or due to loading and discharge, 8s applicable, shall be considered in the design, 2) The User's Design Specification shall include the agreements that define those aspects of operation and maintenance control unique to the particular pressure vessel ) Pressure vessels or parts subject to direct firing from the combustion of fuel (solid, liquid, or gaseous), that are not within the scope of Sections 1, Ill, or IV may be constructed in accordance with the rules of this Division, 4) Unfired steam boilers shall be constructed in accordance with the rules of Section | or Section Vill Division 1 fe} The following pressure vessels in which steam is generated shall be constructed in accordance with the rules of Section VIII, Division 1 or this Division: 1) Vessels known as evaporators or heat exchangers; 2) Vessels in which steam is generated by the use of heat resulting from operation of a processing system containing a number of pressure vessels such as used in the manufacture of chemical and petroleum products; and 3) Vessels in which steam is generated but not withdrawn for external use. 4.24.3 The scope of this Division has been established to identify components and parameters considered in formulating the rules given in this Division. Laws or regulations issued by municipality, 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 the jurisdiction, Those laws of regulations may require the use of this Division of the Code for vessels or components not considered to be within its scope, These laws or regulations should be reviewed to determine size or service limitations of the coverage which may be different or more restrictive than those given here. 13
