This committee is now called the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee. ‘The Committee'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 {o interpret these rules when questions arise regarding their intent. This code does not address other safety issues relating (o the construction of boilers, pressure vessels, transport tanks and nuclear components, and the 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 neces- sity, reflect the likelitood and consequences of deteriora- tion in service related to specific service fluids or extemal operating environments. 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 a pressure vessel having a margin for deterioration in service so as to give a reasonably long, safe period of usefulness. Accordingly, itis 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 construc- tion activities. The Code does not address all aspects of these activities and those aspects which are not specif cally addressed should not be considered prohibited. The Code is not a handbook and cannot replace education, experience, and the use of engineering judgment. The phrase engineering judgment refers to technical judg- ‘ments made by knowledgeable designers experienced in the application of the Code. Engineering judgments must be consistent with Code philosophy and such judgments Conraction, 3 ase in tis Korowon, 6 a albéplasive erm comprising material design erication, examination inspection, et ing contain, apd presse reli. 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 prog- esses and expects engineers to use good judgment inthe application of these tools. The designer is responsible for complying with Code rules and demonstrating compli- ance with Code equations when such equations are man- datory. The Code neither requires nor prohibits the use of computers for the design or analysis of components constructed 10 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, or other parameters are not specified with tolerances the values ofthese parameters are consid- ered nominal and allowable tolerances or loval variances ‘may be considered aeceptable 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 Committe 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 or any form of construction that conforms 10 the Code n “The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee meets regu lasly 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 ofthis Code. Requests for revisions, now rules, Code Cases, or interpretations shall be addressod to the Secretary in writing and shall give full particulars in onder to receive consideration and action (see Mandatory Appendix covering preparation of technical inguities) Proposed revisions 1 the Code resulting from inquiries‘will be presented to the Main Committee for appropriate action. The action of the Main Committee becomes effec- tive only after confirmation by letter ballot of the Commit tee and approval by ASME. Proposed revisions to the Code approved by the Com- mittee are submitted to the American National Standards Institute and published at hup://estoals.asme.orgéwbpms/ public/index.cfm? PublicReview = Revisions 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 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 man- datory six months after such date of issuance, except for boilers or pressure vessels contracted for prior to the end ‘ofthe six-month period. Revisions to material specifica tions are originated by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and other recognized national o 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 ear- lier editions of specifications, for use in ASME construc: ‘ion, ASME material specifications approved for use in each construction Code are listed in the Guidelines for Acceptable ASTM Editions in Section I, 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 con- struction, The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee in the for- ‘mulation of is rules and in the establishment of maximum design and operating pressures considers materials, con- struction, methods of fabrication, inspection, and safery devices. ‘The Code Committee does not rule on whether a com- ponent shall or shall not be constructed to the provisions of the Code. The Scope of each Section has been estab- lished to identify the components and parameters consid cred 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 concerning the interpretation of the Code are to be directed to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Com- mittee. 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 national oF international organizations. When reference is made in an ASME material specification to a non-ASME speci- fication 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 II 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 application under rules of that Section, All materials allowed by these various Sections and used for construction within the scope of their cules shall be furnished in accordance with material specifica tions contained in Section Il or referenced in the Guide- lines for Acceptable ASTM Editions in Section 11, Parts A and B, except where otherwise provided in Code Cases ot in the applicable Section of the Code. Materials cov- ered 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 See- ion Il, Part A and Guideline for Acceptable ASTM Edi- tions 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 consinuction. Material pro- duced to an acceptable specification with requirements different from the requirements of the corresponding specifications listed in the Guideline for Acceptable ASTM Editions in Part A or Part B may also be used in accondance with the above, provided the material manti- facturer or vessel manufacturer certifies with evidence acceptable to the Authorized Inspector that the corres- ponding 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 isnot limited as fo country of origin, When required by context inthis 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 Either U.S. Customary units or SI units may be used for compliance with all requirements of this edition, but ‘one system shall be used consistently throughout for all phases of construction, Either the U.S. Customary units or SI units that are listed in Mandatory Appendix I are identified in the text or are identified in the nomenclature for equations, shall be used consistently far all phases of construction (e.g. ‘and reports). Since values sach system shail be used independently of the other without mixing US. Customary units and SI units,‘When SI units are selected, U.S. Customary values in referenced specifications that do not contain SI units shall be converted to SI values to at least three significant figures for use in calculations and other aspects of con- struction, With the publication of the 2004 Edition, Section 11, Part D is published as two separate publications. One publication contains values only in U.S. Customary units and the other contains values only in SI units, The selec: tion of the version to use is dependent on the set of units selected for construction,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 acvor- dance with the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. It is the aim of the Society to provide recognition of organizations so authorized. An organization holding authorization to perform various activities in accordance with the requirements ofthe 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 Centificates ‘of Authorization. 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 Baxed on these objectives, the following policy has been established on the usage in advertising of facsimiles of the symbols, Certificates of Authorization, and refer- tence to Code construction. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers does not “approve,” “certify,” rate,” or “endorse” any item, construction, oF 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 adver- lising literature that items, constructions, or 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 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 ofa manufactur- cer’s items are constructed under the rules. ‘The ASME logo, which isthe cloverleat 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 materials, design, fabrication, examination, inspection and stamping. Items constructed in accordance with all of the applicable rules of the Code are identified with the official Code Symbol Stamp described in the governing Section of the Code. ‘Markings such as “ASME,” other marking including “ASME Standard, MIE” 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. 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 not refer to ASME or they should clearly identity all exceptions to the ASME requirements,QPERSONNEL ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee Subcommittees, Subgroups, and Working Groups As of Fanuary 1, 2008 (MAIN COMMITTEE G.G.
