calculations should be in standard engineering data sheet format
that clearly indicate that the design, as depicted in the
of the ASME BPV Code, Section VIII Division 1 or 2 as
appropriate. The design calculations should show that they meet
the above requirements for the design life of the vessel, and be
signed by the design engineer.
B.4.1.3 Manufacturer's Documentation. The Manufacturer's Data
Report should be submitted for each vessel. Copies of the
completed and signed ASME Manufacturer's Data Reports for
Pressure Vessels (Form U-1/U-1A) should be submitted with
applicable ASME Manufacturers Partial Data Reports (Form U-2).
A copy of the Certification of Authorization from the ASME Boiler
and Pressure Vessel Committee, or the equivalent from other
approved commercial code committees, authorizing the manufacturer
to fabricate vessels of the designed class should be attached to
the Manufacturer's Data Report.
B.4.2 Material Verification. All materials comprising the
pressure vessel (pressure containing material) and all materials
welded to the pressure vessel should be documented to verify
compliance with the Bill of Materials and applicable
specifications. This should also include welding rods used on the
pressure boundary.
B.4.3 Welding Procedures. Copies of all welding procedures
required for the fabrication of the pressure vessel and
attachments should be provided to the SCA. In addition,
documentation verifying approval of these procedures should also
be provided.
B.4.3.1 Welder Qualifications. Documentation should be provided
verifying that all welders that produce welds on the pressure
vessel are qualified to the approved welding procedure for the
type and position of each weld made. The document should clearly
state that the welder is qualified to perform the procedure and
his qualifications are current under applicable code
requirements.
B.4.3.2 Weld Records and Maps. The weld records should consist
of a chamber weldment joint identification drawing, or map, for
each chamber pressure shell and piping system. All chamber joint
weld locations should be shown and a joint identification number
assigned to each weld. A chamber weldment record form for each
welded joint, including non-pressure retaining joints and
brackets, should be prepared. The weldment record form should
contain the following information:
a)
Joint Identification Number (JID) number
b)
Joint design type
