This committee is now called the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee, ‘The Committee's function is to establish rules of safety, relating only to pressure integrity, governing the construction’ of boilers, pressure vessels, transport tanks and nuclear components, and inservice inspection for pressure integrity of nuclear components and trans- pport tanks, and to interpret these rules when questions arise regarding their intent. This code does not address other safety issues relating to the construction of boilers, pressure vessels, transport tanks and nuclear compo- nents, and the inservice inspection of nuclear compo- nents and transport tanks. The user of the Code should refer to other pertinent codes, standards, laws, regula- tions, 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 external 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, it is not intended that this Section be used as a design handbook; rather, engineering judgment must bbe 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 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 " Consruction, as used in his Foreword, isan all-inclusive tem comprising materials, design, fabseation, examination, inspection, testing, certification, and pressure ret experienced 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 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, or 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 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 10 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 endors- ing 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 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 4 official interpretations of this Code. Requests for revi- 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 inquiries 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 at Attp:/estools.as- ‘me.org/wbpms/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 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 ‘may be used beginning with the date of issuance shown fon the Addenda. Revisions, except for revisions to ‘material specifications in Section TI, Parts A and B, become mandatory six months after such date of issu- ance, except for boilers or pressure vessels contracted for prior to the end of the six-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 specifi- cations approved for use in each construction Code are listed in the Guidelines for Acceptable ASTM Editions in Section Il, Parts A and B. These Guidelines list, for cach 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 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 The Code Committee does not nule 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. 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 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 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 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 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 the Guidelines for Acceptable ASTM Editions in Section 1, 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 docu- ‘mented on this basis; Guideline for Acceptable ASTM Editions in Section Il, Part A and Guideline for Accept- able ASTM Editions in 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 speci fication with requirements different from the require- ‘ments of the corresponding specifications 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 vessel ‘manufacturer certifies with evidence acceptable to the ‘Authorized Inspector that the corresponding requis ments 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 lueated 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, bat 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 (ext, or are identified in the nomenclature for equations, shall be used consistently for all phases of construction (eg., materials, design, fabrication, and reports). Since values in the two systems are not exact equivalents, cach system shall be used independently of the other without mixing U.S, Customary units and ST units When SI units are selected, U.S. Customary values in referenced specifications that do not contain SI units shall be converted to ST values to at least three significant figures for use in calculations and other aspects of construction With the publication of the 2004 Edition, Section UL, 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 mits The selection 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 accor- 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 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 Authorization. It is the aim of the Society to maintain the standing of the Code Symibols 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 refer ence 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 adver- ‘ising 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.

Adkins, Staff Manager PREFACE ‘The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the American Society for Testing and Mate- rials (ASTM) have cooperated for more than fifty years in the preparation of material specifications adequate for safety in the field of pressure equipment for ferrous and nonferrous materials, contained in Section Il (Part A — Ferrous and Part B — Nonferrous) of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. ‘The evolution of this cooperative effort is contained in Professor A. M. Greene’s “History ofthe 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 Comittee, will help focus on the coop erative nature of the specifications found in Section I, ‘Material Specifications. ‘General discussion of material specifications com- prising Paragraphs Ito 112 of Part 2 and the advisability of having 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 in agreement with ASTM specifications, In the 1924 Edi- tion of the 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, he paragraphs were given new numbers beginning with S-1 and extending to 5-213,” (1925). “Section Il was brought into agreement with changes ‘made in the latest ASTM specifications since 1921,” (1932), “The Subcommittee on Material Specifications arranged for the introduction of the revisions of many of the specifications so that they would agree withthe latest form of the earlier ASTM specifications...” (1935). From the preceding, it is evident that many of the ‘material specifications were prepared by the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Committees, then subsequently, by cooperative action, modified and identified as ASTM specifications. Section II, Parts A and B, currently contain ‘many material specifications which are identical with the corresponding ASTM specifications and some which have been modified for Code usage. 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 I, Part C, contains the welding material specifications 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 applica- tions. Itis the intent to follow the procedures and practices ‘currently in use to implement the adoption of non-ASTM ‘materials Alll 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 consideration to each new and revised specifica- tion, and has made such changes as they deemed neces- sary to make the specification 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 be a 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 ofthe Code, and Addenda are issued annually to provide the latest changes in Sec- tion TI specifications. ‘The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code has been adopted into law by 49 states and many municipalities in the United States and by all of the Canadian provinces, SPECIFICATIONS LISTED BY MATERIALS Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys ‘SB-26/SB-26M —_Aluminum-Alloy Sand Castings ..

This occurs because the sponsoring society (e.g, ASTM, AWS, CEN) has notified ASME that the specification has either been replaced with another specification, or that there is no known use and production of a material. Removal of specification from this Section also results in concurrent removal of the same specification from Section IX and from all of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Con: struction Codes that reference the material. This action effectively prohibits further use of the material in ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Construction, ‘The following specifications will be dropped from this, Section in the next Addenda, unless information concem- ing current production and use of the material is received before December Ist of this year: None in this Edition or Addenda. ‘If you are currently using and purchasing new material to any of these specifications for ASME Boiler and Pres- sure Vessel Code Construction, and if discontinuance of one or more of these specifications would present @ hardship, please notify the Secretary of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee, at the address shown below: Secretary ‘ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee ‘Three Park Avenue New York, NY 10016-5990 Tel: (212) 591-8533, Fax: (212) 591-8501 PREPARATION OF TECHNICAL INQUIRIES TO THE BOILER AND PRESSURE VESSEL COMMITTEE 1-100 INTRODUCTION ‘The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee meets regularly to consider written requests for interpreta- tions and revisions to the Code rules, and to develop ‘new rules as dictated by technological development, The Committee's activities in this regard are limited strictly {o interpretations of the rules or to the consideration of revisions to the present rules on the basis of new data or technology. As a matter of published policy, ASME does not approve, certify, rate, or endorse any item, construc- tion, proprietary device, or activity, and, accordingly, inguiries requiring such consideration will be returned. Moreover, ASME does not act as a consultant on specific engineering problems or on the general application ot understanding of the Code rules.
