Asme Section 3

Asme section iii leaves material selection and igscc concerns to the owner or fabricator.

Asme section 3. These components and supports are designed in accordance with the asme boiler and pressure vessel code section iii division 1 reference 1 and gdc 1 2 4 14 and 15. Additional milestone moments can be seen on the standards certification chronology. Asme section iii does not delineate the criteria for classifying piping into class 1 class 2 or class 3.

This subsection which is referenced by and is an integral part of division 1 subsections nb through ng and division 2 of section iii covers quality assurance requirements asme product certification marks and authorized inspection for class 1 2 3 mc cs and cc construction. Rcc m requires elevated temperature tensile testing base metal weld metal procedure qualifications to confirm the elevated temperature tensile and yield strengths for each heat lot and welding procedure asme relies on properties from representative heats to establish allowable stresses at elevated temperatures. 900033 bpvc section iii rules for construction of nuclear facility components divison 3 containment systems transport packagings for spent nuclear fuel high level radioactive waste has been added to your cart.

In 1963 asme published the first edition of asme bpvc section iii nuclear vessels. This section describes the structural integrity of pressure retaining components component supports and core support struct ures. B31 3 is one of asme s most requested codes.

It specifies the requirements for design materials fabrication installation examination testing inspection certifi cation and stamping of piping systems after they have been classified class 1 class 2 or class 3 based upon the applicable design criteria and. Division1of asme section iii contains requirements for piping classified as asme class 1 class 2 and class 3. It serves as a companion to asme s b31 1 code on power piping as well as to the other codes in asme s b31 series.
