4.4 Important Code Content: 1. Responsibilities

The document summarizes important code content related to pressure vessels in 3 sections: 1. Responsibilities outlines key points regarding manufacturer and purchaser responsibilities, the role of inspection organizations, and how compliance certificates are issued. 2. Vessel design details construction categories, classifications of welded joints, and prohibited features. 3. Materials of construction provides information on specified and non-specified materials, generic requirements, and low temperature applications. Manufacturing, inspection, and testing requirements are also summarized regarding material traceability, non-destructive testing, tolerances, welded joints, testing, and documentation.

4 Important code content


1. Responsibilities
Important points are:
. relative responsibilities of the manufacturer and the purchaser;
. the recognized role of the independent inspection organization;
. the technical requirements and options that can be agreed between
manufacturer and purchaser;
. the way in which the certificate of code compliance is issued and who
takes responsibility for it.
2. Vessel design
Important points are:
. details of the different construction categories addressed by the vessel
code;
. knowledge of the different classifications of welded joints;
. knowledge of prohibited design features (mainly welded joints).
3. Materials of construction
Codes contain information about materials for pressurized components of
the vessel such as:
. materials that are referenced directly by the code these are subdivided
into plate, forged parts, bar sections, and tubes;
. the codes requirement for other (non-specified) materials, in order that they
may be suitable for use as permissible materials;
. any generic code requirements on material properties such as carbon
content, UTS, or impact value;
. specific requirements for low temperature applications.
4. Manufacture, inspection, and testing
The relevant areas (in approximate order of use) are:
. requirements for material identification and traceability;
. NDT of parent material;
. assembly tolerances (misalignment and circularity);
. general requirements for welded joints;
. welder approvals;
. production test plates;
. the extent of NDT on welded joints;
. acceptable NDT techniques;
. defect acceptance criteria;
. pressure testing;
. content of the vessels documentation package.
