17、ORDIn 1998 a PVHO Task Group was formed to investigate the need for In-Service Rules andGuidelines for Pressure Vessels for Human Occupancy. Simultaneously, a Sub Task Group wasformed to investigate the issue of acrylic window design life versus service life. The design lifeis based on the PVHO wind

18、ow being exposed to the maximum allowable working pressure(MAWP), at the maximum rated temperature, for the maximum number of (design) cycles, inan outdoor weathering environment. The majority of PVHOs are not operated to such extremes,and service life may indeed be longer than design life. Converse

19、ly, if a window is not properlycared for (i.e., becomes exposed, either operationally or nonoperationally, to other detrimentalfactors that are not, and cannot be, factored into the design life), then the actual service life couldbe much shorter than the design life. Thus, the recommendation was mad

20、e that design life andservice life be addressed as two different subjects. In 1999 the In-Service Task Group became aPVHO subcommittee, with the most immediate task being the establishment of in-service criteriafor PVHO windows and viewports.This Standard provides the necessary in-service criteria t

21、o supplement Section 2, Viewports,of ASME PVHO-1, which applies to new construction only. By comparison, this Standard appliesto all PVHO-1 acrylic windows, regardless of their date of manufacture. This Standard consistsof both Technical Criteria and Guidelines. They are intended to provide guidance

22、 to the Userand/or the Jurisdictional Authority in regard to the establishment of potential Service Life, andthe necessary care, inspection, and repair during that Service Lifedepending on the actualservice conditions to which the PVHO and windows have been, or will be, exposed.Finally, this Standar

23、d was prepared as a “stand-alone” document. All Forms additional tothose normally supplied with the window in accordance with PVHO-1, which may be necessarythroughout the service life of the window, are provided herein. Similarly, all necessary PVHO-1technical data applicable to service and repair (

24、if required) are also provided in this Standard.The 2012 Edition of PVHO-2 has been completely reorganized and expanded to include sectionscovering PVHOs and PVHO systems to bring it in line with the outline of the PVHO-1 standard.In this Edition, the requirements have been grouped into two sections

25、: Section 1, General, coveringrequirements relevant to all PVHOs and PVHO systems; and Section 2, Viewports, coveringrequirements specific to acrylic windows.The previous edition of this Standard was issued in 2003 and reaffirmed in 2008. The 2012 Editionof this Standard was approved as an American

Further, persons aggrieved by an interpretationmay appeal to the cognizant ASME Committee or Subcommittee. ASME does not “approve,”“certify,” “rate,”

31、 or “endorse” any item, construction, proprietary device, or activity.PVHO Cases. The ASME PVHO Committee issues Cases. Although PVHO Cases do not consti-tute formal revisions of the Standard, they may be used as representing considered opinions ofthe PVHO Committee. Once approved, Cases are posted

32、on the ASME PVHO Committee Webpage at http:/cstools.asme.org/ and are subsequently published with the next edition of thisStandard. PVHO Cases are not part of the Standard and are included for information onlyfollowing the nonmandatory appendices.Requests for PVHO Cases shall provide the following:(

33、a) Statement of Need. Provide a brief explanation of the need for the revision(s) or addition(s).(b) Background Information. Provide background information to support the revision(s) or addi-tion(s) including any data or changes in technology that form the basis for the request that willallow the Co

34、mmittee to adequately evaluate the proposed revision(s) or addition(s). Sketches,tables, figures, and graphs should be submitted as appropriate. When applicable, identify anypertinent paragraphs in the standard that would be affected by the revision(s) or addition(s)and paragraphs in the standard th

Requests for PVHO Cases should also indicate the applicable edition to whichthe proposed Case applies.viiErrata. ASME issues err

36、ata (corrections to errors introduced in the Standard during the publish-ing process; e.g., typographical errors, misspellings, grammatical errors, incorrect publication ofrevisions). Once approved, errata are posted on the ASME PVHO Committee Web page athttp:/cstools.asme.org/ and are subsequently

40、Os and PVHO systems that were designed, con-structed, tested, and certified in accordance withASME PVHO-1, Safety Standard for Pressure Vessels forHuman Occupancy.(b) This Standard provides technical criteria for theuser to establish the serviceability of a PVHO acrylicwindow under its specific envi

41、ronmental service condi-tions. Windows in protected environments as well asthose in severe environments are addressed. Judicioususe of this Standard will allow the user and/or thejurisdictional authority to determine when a PVHOacrylic window requires replacement.1-2 RESPONSIBILITIES AND JURISDICTIO

42、NALCONSIDERATIONS1-2.1 Users ResponsibilitiesThe PVHO and PVHO systems user shall provide thedesigner with information regarding the service condi-tions that the PVHO and PVHO systems may encounterduring their service life. The user shall protect the PVHOand its systems from hazards, and ensure they

43、 are usedwithin their design limitations. It is the user, and notthe designer or fabricator, who is responsible fordetermining the safe service life in accordance with thetechnical criteria and guidelines herein. The user isresponsible for retaining all documentation for eachPVHO and its associated

44、systems, and shall establish aprogram of periodic inspection to determine the needfor repair or replacement of any part, in accordance withthe requirements listed in this Standard. For windowrepair and replacement requirements, refer to Section 2,Viewports.1-2.2 Jurisdictional ConsiderationsThe oper

45、ation of each PVHO is typically governedunder specific rules of the jurisdiction in which it is1operated. (Examples include, but are not necessarily lim-ited to, the state, the Food and Drug Administration,and the U.S. Coast Guard.) This Safety Standard isintended to complement the jurisdictional re

46、quirements(i.e., to provide guidance to both users and jurisdictionalauthorities in regard to in-service requirements for thePVHO, acrylic windows, and PVHO systems). Theresponsibility for compliance with jurisdictional in-ser-vice requirements, which may become invoked as aresult of the technical c

47、riteria and guidelines as set forthherein, lies with the user.1-3 IN-SERVICE EVALUATIONS, REPAIRS, ANDMODIFICATION OF PVHOs1-3.1 PVHO Windows and ViewportsThe owner shall be responsible for ensuring that in-service viewport evaluations, window replacements,and inspections are performed in accordance

48、 with thisStandard.(a) PVHO acrylic windows shall be evaluated and, ifnecessary, repaired per subsections 2-4 through 2-6 ofthis Standard.(b) The service life of acrylic windows shall be deter-mined in accordance with para. 2-4.3 and subsection 2-7of this Standard.(c) Replacement windows shall meet

49、PVHO designrequirements for the viewport.(d) Viewports in which PVHO acrylic windows areinstalled shall be evaluated and, if necessary, refurbishedper subsection 2-4 of this Standard.1-3.2 Pressure Boundary (Except for Windows)When evidence of a flaw is detected or a modificationof a PVHO pressure boundary is planned, the ownershall be responsible for ensuring that the PVHO is evalu-ated and repaired, replaced, or modified in accordancewith the requirements of this Standard, applicable codes,and appropriate jurisdictional authorities.(a) In-service flaw evaluation tech
