Codes and standards for quality engineering

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7149693

Codes and Standards address the requirements for safety and reliability of pressure vessels and piping--materials, design, analysis, construction, fabrication, welding, nondestructive examination, acceptance testing, inservice inspection and testing, repair, replacement and modification. The role of Quality Engineering in all of these aspects of Codes and Standards is immense. In light of the experiences and lessons learned, the Codes and Standards Technical Committee of the ASME Pressure Vessels and Piping Division organized several technical and panel sessions. Papers presented at these sessions are contained in this volume. The following topics are discussed: flow-accelerated corrosion; corrosion in piping and vessels; changing priorities in codes and standards; piping system operability; and operating plant criteria. In addition to the above topics, brief summaries of the presentations at the panel sessions sponsored by the Codes and Standards Technical Committee are included in this volume. These pertain to the changing priorities in Codes and Standards and a discussion on the status of ASME Nuclear Codes and Standards. Thirty-eight papers have been processed separately for inclusion on the data base.
