Does anyone Know if the State of Indiana Uses ASME for design
(OP)
Hope someone can help.
I have been told that in America the use of the ASME pressure vessel code depends upon which state the vessel is to be installed. If this is true does anyone know what code Indiana uses. I have some thing that is designed to PD-5500 and the PED but may need to change it if ASME is required for Indiana.
Thank you in advance!

To be more specific, take a look at http://www.in.gov/sema/osbc/boiler/index.html which also lists an email contact for the jurisdiction.

In 1988 (effective July 1, 1989), the Scope (U-1) of Section VIII, Division 1 was amended. One of the amended articles, U-1,(6), essentially states that any vessels containing water that does not exceed a design pressure of 300 psi or a design temperature of 210 deg. F, are not considered to be within the scope of this Division. As a result, many states accepted the addendum and no longer required the U-stamp for vessels meeting these requirements, like typical cold water treatment vessels. However, some states (like North Carolina) accepted part of the addendum but still required hydropneumatic tanks (or those containing an air cushion)to have the U-stamp even though these too were excluded under U-1,(6).
Even before the addendum, Indiana law did not require the U-stamp for pressure vessels meeting the scope of Section VIII, Division 1.
Even though the U-stamp may not be required by law, many designers and purchasers specify it for quality reasons and/or because their insurance carrier may require it. It's always a good idea to check around and ask the local inspectors and insurance entities for confirmation and backup.

In 1999 they adopted ASME and NBIC. All new pressure vessels must now be code stamped and registered with the state. Existing vessels are "grandfathered" but all repairs to even grandfathered vessels must be in accordance with NBIC.
For years KS plants have been allowed to make thier own repairs and bring in non-code vessels in to the state. This action by the state was to ensure some type of quality control over these items, and to increase revenue for the state.
