Book ·
OSTI ID:5124713
This paper covers the maintenance inspection, repair, alteration, and rerating procedures for pressure vessels used by the petroleum and chemical process industries. The application of this code is restricted to organizations that employ or have access to an authorized inspection agency as defined in the inspection code. Except as provided in the code, the use of the code is restricted to organizations that employ or have access to engineering and inspection personnel or organizations that are technically qualified to maintain, inspect, repair, alter, or rerate pressure vessels. Pressure vessel inspectors are to be certified as stated in the code. Since other codes that cover specific industries and general service applications already exist, the industries that fit within the restrictions above have developed this code to fulfill their own specific requirement.
