This committee is now called the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee. ‘The Committee's function is to establish rules deemed necessary for the new construction’ of pressure vessels that will perform in a safe and reliable manner, and to interpret these rules when questions arise regarding their intent. With few exceptions, the rules do not, of practical necessity, reflect the likelihood and conse- quences of deterioration in service related to specific service fluids or extemal operating environments. Rec- ‘ognizing 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 a pressure vessel having a margin for deteriora- tion in service so as to give a reasonably long, safe period of usefulness. Accordingly, it is not intended that this Section be used as a 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 construe- tion’ activities. The Code does not address all aspects Of these activities and those aspects 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- fenced in the 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. ‘The Committee recognizes that tools and techniques used for design and analysis change as technology Consraction, as used in ths Foreword, is an alt-inchsive tem ‘comprising. materials, design, fabrication, examinuion, inspection, testing, cerication, and pressure reli. progresses and expects engineers to use good judgment in the application of these tools. The designer is respon- sible 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 computers 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 for the application of these programs to their design. The Code does not fully address tolerances. When dimensions, sizes, ot 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 2s 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, oF endors- ing any proprietary or specific design or as limiting jn 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 as 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 rev 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 inguiries will be presented to the Main Committee for appropriate 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 Engi- neering to invite comments 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 components to be stamped with the ASME Code symbol beginning with the date of their approval by ASME. ‘After Code revisions are approved by ASME, they say be used beginning with the date of issuance shown con 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 other recognized national or international 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 speci cations approved for use in each construction Code are listed in the Appendices of Section Il, Parts A and B. ‘These Appendices list, for each specification, the latest jon adopted by ASME, and earlier and later editions ‘considered by ASME to be identical for ASME con- struction. Manufactures 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 installed. 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 ofthe rules, the requirements for inspection in this Code comespond 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. vi ‘The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee in the formulation of its rules and 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 a complete Section of the Code by reference. If usage of a Section, such as Section IX, involves exceptions, omissions, or changes in provisions, the intent of the Code might not be attained, ‘Where a state o 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 organization 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- cred 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 10 the ASME Certificate 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 arise concerning improper use of an ASME Code symbol ‘The specifications for materials given in Section [1 are identical with or similar to those of specifications published by ASTM, AWS, and other recognized na- tional or international organizations. When reference is ‘made in an ASME material specification to a non- ASME specification for which a companion ASMEspecification exists, the reference shall be interpreted as applying to the ASME material specification. Not all materials included in the material specifications in Section TI 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 II or referenced in Appendices A of Section Tl, Pars 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. Materi- als for Code use should preferably be ordered, produced, and documented on this basis; Appendix A to Section IL, Part A and Appendix A to Section Il, 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 re- quirements of the corresponding specifications listed in Appendix A of Part A or Patt B may also be used in accordance with the above, provided the material ‘manufacturer or vessel manufacturer certifies with evi- dence acceptable to the Authorized Inspector that the corresponding requirements of specifications listed in Appendix A of 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. 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.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 activities in ac- cordance with the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. It isthe aim of the Society to provide recognition of organizations so authorized. ‘An organization holding authorization to perform ¥. ‘ous activities in accordance with the requirements of the Code may state this capability in its advertising Titerature, Organizations that are authorized to use Code Symbols for marking items or constructions which have been con- structed and inspected in compliance with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code ae issued Certificates of ‘Authorization. Iis the aim of the Society to maintain the standing ofthe Code Symbols for the benefit ofthe users, the enforcement jurisdictions, andthe holders ofthe sym- bots who comply with all requirements. Based on these objectives, the following poticy has been established on the usage in advertising of facsimiles of the symbols, Certificates of Authorization, and refer- ence to Code construction. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers does not “approve,” “certify.” “rate,” of “endorse” any item, construction, or activity and there shall be no statements or implications which might so indicate. An organization holding 1 Code Symbol and/or a Certificate of Authorization may state in advertising titerature that items, constructions, of 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 be by an association ora society, or by aholder of a Code ‘Symbol who may also use the facsimile in advertising to show that clearly specified items will eary the symbol, General usage is permitted only when all of a manufactur- e's items are constructed under the rues. ‘The ASME logo, which is the cloverleaf with the Jetters ASME within, shall not be used by any organiza tion 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 forthe construction of boilers, pressure vessels, and. ‘nuclear components. This includes requirements for mate- Fials, design, fabrication, examination, inspection, and stamping. Items constructed in accordance with all ofthe applicable rules ofthe Code are identified withthe official Code Symbol Stamp described inthe 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 which is ‘pot constructed in accordance with all of the applicable requirements of the Code, Items 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,PERSONNEL ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee Subcommittees, Subgroups, and Working Groups As of December 31, 1997 J.

(a) For the scope of this Division, pressure vessels are containers for the containment of pressure, either intemal or external. This pressure may be obtained from an external source or by the application of heat from a direct or indirect source, or any combination thereof. The rules of this Division, taken as a whole, provide an aliemative to the minimum construction requirements for the design, fabrication, inspection, and certification of pressure vessels falling within the scope of Division 1. (0X11) Except a8 provided in (2) below, these rules ‘cover only vessels o be installed ata fixed (stationary)? location for a specific service where operation and maintenance control is retained during the useful life of the vessel by the user who prepares or causes 0 ‘be prepared the Design Specifications required by AG- 301.1. (2) These rules may also apply to pressure vessels installed in oceangoing ships, barges, and other floating craft provided prior written agreement with the local jurisdictional authority? can be established covering ‘operation and maintenance control for a specific service ‘and where this operation and maintenance control is retained during the useful life of the pressure vessel by the user who prepares, or causes to be prepared, the Design Specifications required by AG-301.1. Then such a pressure vessel as described above may be ‘constructed and stamped within the scope of this Divi- sion provided it meets all other requirements as specified ‘with the following additional provisions. "in those applications where there are laws or regulations issued by ‘municipal, state, provincial, or feral authorities covering presse veel, these laws or regulations should be reviewed to determi sae or service liltalons of the coverage which may be differen ‘or more restrictive than those given In his paragraph, 2 These rales shall nox be used for fabrication of cargo tanks mounted fon wanspon vehicles ‘The local Jursdeional authority consists of the municipal, ste, provincial, federal, or ether governmenal agency enforcing laws of regulations applicable to these pressure vesels (a) 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, as applicable, shall be considered 4s part of AD-100 (see Table AD-150.1). (b) The User's Design Specification shall include the agreements which resolve the problems of operation and maintenance control unique to the particular pres- sure vessel (c) Pressure vessels subject to direct firing but which fare not within the scope of Section I, Ill, or [V may be constructed in accordance with the general rules of Division 2. (d) Except for vessels specifically prohibited in this Division, types of vessels which may be constructed in accordance with the rules of Division 1 may also be constructed in accordance with the rules of this Division. (¢) In relation to the rules of Division 1 of Section IIL these rules of Division 2 are more restrictive in the choice of materials which may be used but permit higher design stress intensity values to be employed in the range of temperatures over which the design stress intensity value is controlled by the ultimate strength or the yield strength; more precise design procedures are required and some common design details are prohibited; permissible fabrication procedures are specifically delineated and more complete examina- tion testing and inspection are required AG-I10 ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR VERY HIGH PRESSURES The rules of Division 2 do not specify a limitation fon pressure but are not all inclusive for all types of ‘construction. For very high pressures, some additions to or deviations from these rules may be necessary to meet the design principles and construction practices essential to vessels for such pressures. However, only in the event that, after application of additional design
