    expansion joints in accordance
    with ASME Section VIII, Div 1 The requirements of applying a U Code Symbol to an
    Expansion Joint encompass the whole process from
    Appendix 26 providing ASME design to purchasing to production and testing.

    Before production can begin, the Inspector will verify
    that the weld procedure to be used has been qualified
    and the welders performing the welding are certified.
    This is in accordance with Section IX. The next step
    is to review the unit after fabrication is complete
    to ensure welding was performed to Code require-
    ments and all non-destructive testing results.

    The Authorized Inspector will witness the hydrostatic


    test performed in accordance with the requirements
    of Section VIII Division 1.

    The final step is the application of the nameplate. This


    is also witnessed by the Inspector. The nameplate
    will be marked with relevant design conditions and
    the U Code Symbol.

    Any Expansion Joint stamped with this symbol has


    been built strictly in accordance with the provisions
    of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.
