9、oderules. Those Cases that have been adopted will appearin the appropriate 2010 Code Cases book: “Boilers andPressure Vessels” and “Nuclear Components.” Supple-ments will be sent automatically to the purchasers of theCode Cases books up to the publication of the 2013 Code.FOREWORDThe American Societ

10、y of Mechanical Engineers set up acommittee in 1911 for the purpose of formulating standardrules for the construction of steam boilers and other pres-sure vessels. This committee is now called the Boiler andPressure Vessel Committee.The Committees function is to establish rules of safety,relating on

11、ly to pressure integrity, governing the construc-tion1of boilers, pressure vessels, transport tanks andnuclear components, and inservice inspection for pressureintegrity of nuclear components and transport tanks, andto interpret these rules when questions arise regarding theirintent. This Code does

12、not address other safety issues relat-ing to the construction of boilers, pressure vessels, transporttanks and nuclear components, and the inservice inspectionof nuclear components and transport tanks. The user ofthe Code should refer to other pertinent codes, standards,laws, regulations, or other r

13、elevant documents. With fewexceptions, the rules do not, of practical necessity, reflectthe likelihood and consequences of deterioration in servicerelated to specific service fluids or external operating envi-ronments. Recognizing this, the Committee has approveda wide variety of construction rules

14、in this Section to allowthe user or his designee to select those which will providea 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 Sectionbe used as a design handbook; rather, engin

15、eering judgmentmust be employed in the selection of those sets of Coderules suitable to any specific service or need.This Code contains mandatory requirements, specificprohibitions, and nonmandatory guidance for constructionactivities. The Code does not address all aspects of theseactivities and tho

16、se aspects that are not specificallyaddressed should not be considered prohibited. The Codeis not a handbook and cannot replace education, experience,and the use of engineering judgment. The phrase engi-neering judgment refers to technical judgments made byknowledgeable designers experienced in the

17、application ofthe Code. Engineering judgments must be consistent withCode philosophy and such judgments must never be usedto overrule mandatory requirements or specific prohibitionsof the Code.1Construction, as used in this Foreword, is an all-inclusive term com-prising materials, design, fabricatio

18、n, examination, inspection, testing,certification, and pressure relief.xvThe Committee recognizes that tools and techniquesused for design and analysis change as technology prog-resses and expects engineers to use good judgment in theapplication of these tools. The designer is responsible forcomplyi

19、ng with Code rules and demonstrating compliancewith Code equations when such equations are mandatory.The Code neither requires nor prohibits the use of comput-ers for the design or analysis of components constructedto the requirements of the Code. However, designers andengineers using computer progr

20、ams for design or analysisare cautioned that they are responsible for all technicalassumptions inherent in the programs they use and theyare responsible for the application of these programs totheir design.The Code does not fully address tolerances. Whendimensions, sizes, or other parameters are not

21、 specifiedwith tolerances, the values of these parameters are consid-ered nominal and allowable tolerances or local variancesmay be considered acceptable when based on engineeringjudgment and standard practices as determined by thedesigner.The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee deals withthe care

22、and inspection of boilers and pressure vessels inservice only to the extent of providing suggested rules ofgood practice as an aid to owners and their inspectors.The rules established by the Committee are not to beinterpreted as approving, recommending, or endorsing anyproprietary or specific design

23、 or as limiting in any way themanufacturers freedom to choose any method of designor any form of construction that conforms to the Code rules.The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee meets regu-larly to consider revisions of the rules, new rules as dictatedby technological development, Code Cases, a

24、nd requestsfor interpretations. Only the Boiler and Pressure VesselCommittee has the authority to provide official interpreta-tions of this Code. Requests for revisions, new rules, CodeCases, or interpretations shall be addressed to the Secretaryin writing and shall give full particulars in order to

25、 receiveconsideration and action (see Submittal of TechnicalInquiries to the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee).Proposed revisions to the Code resulting from inquiries willbe presented to the Standards Committees for appropriateaction. The action of the Standards Committees becomeseffective only

26、after confirmation by letter ballot of theCommittees and approval by ASME.(10)(a)Proposed revisions to the Code approved by the Commit-tee are submitted to the American National Standards Insti-tute and published at http:/cstools.asme.org/csconnect/public/index.cfm?PublicReviewpRevisions to invite c

27、om-ments from all interested persons. After the allotted timefor public review and final approval by ASME, revisionsare published in updates to the Code.Code Cases may be used in the construction of compo-nents to be stamped with the Certification Mark beginningwith the date of their approval by ASM

28、E.After Code revisions are approved by ASME, they maybe used beginning with the date of issuance. Revisions,except for revisions to material specifications in SectionII, Parts A and B, become mandatory six months after suchdate of issuance, except for boilers or pressure vesselscontracted for prior

29、to the end of the six-month period.Revisions to material specifications are originated by theAmerican Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) andother recognized national or international organizations,and are usually adopted by ASME. However, those revi-sions may or may not have any effect on the

30、suitability ofmaterial, produced to earlier editions of specifications, foruse in ASME construction. ASME material specificationsapproved for use in each construction Code are listed inthe Guideline for Acceptable ASTM Editions and in theGuideline for Acceptable Non-ASTM Editions, in SectionII, Part

31、s A and B. These Guidelines list, for each specifica-tion, the latest edition adopted by ASME, and earlier andlater editions considered by ASME to be identical forASME construction.The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee in the formu-lation of its rules and in the establishment of maximumdesign and

32、 operating pressures considers materials, con-struction, method of fabrication, inspection, and safetydevices.The Code Committee does not rule on whether a compo-nent shall or shall not be constructed to the provisions ofthe Code. The Scope of each Section has been establishedto identify the compone

33、nts and parameters considered bythe Committee in formulating the Code rules.Questions or issues regarding compliance of a specificcomponent with the Code rules are to be directed to theASME Certificate Holder (Manufacturer). Inquiries con-cerning the interpretation of the Code are to be directedxvit

34、o the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee.ASME is to be notified should questions arise concerningimproper use of the Certification Mark.The specifications for materials given in Section II areidentical with or similar to those of specifications publishedby ASTM, AWS, and other recognized nati

35、onal or interna-tional organizations. When reference is made in an ASMEmaterial specification to a non-ASME specification forwhich a companion ASME specification exists, the refer-ence shall be interpreted as applying to the ASME materialspecification. Not all materials included in the materialspeci

36、fications in Section II have been adopted for Codeuse. Usage is limited to those materials and grades adoptedby at least one of the other Sections of the Code for applica-tion under rules of that Section. All materials allowed bythese various Sections and used for construction within thescope of the

37、ir rules shall be furnished in accordance withmaterial specifications contained in Section II or referencedin the Guidelines for Acceptable Editions in Section II,Parts A and B, except where otherwise provided in CodeCases or in the applicable Section of the Code. Materialscovered by these specifica

38、tions are acceptable for use initems covered by the Code Sections only to the degreeindicated in the applicable Section. Materials for Code useshould preferably be ordered, produced, and documentedon this basis; Guidelines for Acceptable Editions inSection II, Parts A and B list editions of ASME and

39、 yeardates of specifications that meet ASME requirements andwhich may be used in Code construction. Material pro-duced to an acceptable specification with requirements dif-ferent from the requirements of the correspondingspecifications listed in the Guidelines for Acceptable Edi-tions in Part A or P

40、art B may also be used in accordancewith the above, provided the material manufacturer or ves-sel manufacturer certifies with evidence acceptable to theAuthorized Inspector that the corresponding requirementsof specifications listed in the Guidelines for AcceptableEditions in Part A or Part B have b

41、een met. Materialproduced to an acceptable material specification is notlimited as to country of origin.When required by context in this Section, the singularshall be interpreted as the plural, and vice-versa; and thefeminine, masculine, or neuter gender shall be treated assuch other gender as appro

42、priate.STATEMENT OF POLICYON THE USE OF THE CERTIFICATION MARK ANDCODE AUTHORIZATION IN ADVERTISINGASME has established procedures to authorize qualifiedorganizations to perform various activities in accordancewith the requirements of the ASME Boiler and PressureVessel Code. It is the aim of the Soc

43、iety to provide recogni-tion of organizations so authorized. An organization hold-ing authorization to perform various activities inaccordance with the requirements of the Code may statethis capability in its advertising literature.Organizations that are authorized to use the CertificationMark for m

44、arking items or constructions that have beenconstructed and inspected in compliance with the ASMEBoiler and Pressure Vessel Code are issued Certificates ofAuthorization. It is the aim of the Society to maintain thestanding of the Certification Mark for the benefit of theusers, the enforcement jurisd

45、ictions, and the holders of theCertification Mark who comply with all requirements.Based on these objectives, the following policy has beenestablished on the usage in advertising of facsimiles ofthe Certification Mark, Certificates of Authorization, andreference to Code construction. The American So

46、ciety ofSTATEMENT OF POLICYON THE USE OF ASME MARKINGTO IDENTIFY MANUFACTURED ITEMSThe ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code providesrules for the construction of boilers, pressure vessels, andnuclear components. This includes requirements for mate-rials, design, fabrication, examination, inspection,

47、 andstamping. Items constructed in accordance with all of theapplicable rules of the Code are identified with the officialCertification Mark described in the governing Section ofthe Code.Markings such as “ASME,” “ASME Standard,” or anyother marking including “ASME” or the Certification MarkxviiMecha

48、nical Engineers does not “approve,” “certify,”“rate,” or “endorse” any item, construction, or activity andthere shall be no statements or implications that might soindicate. An organization holding the Certification Markand/or a Certificate of Authorization may state in advertis-ing literature that

49、items, constructions, or activities “arebuilt (produced or performed) or activities conducted inaccordance with the requirements of the ASME Boiler andPressure Vessel Code,” or “meet the requirements of theASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.” An ASME cor-porate logo shall not be used by any organization otherthan ASME.The Certification Mark shall be used only for stampingand nameplates as specifically provided in the Code. How-ever, facsimiles may be used for the purpose of fosteringthe use of such construction. Such usage may be by anassociation or a society, or by a holder of the Cer
