Nameplate placement
(OP)
I don't have the ASME BPVC handy. Can anyone give me info on requirements regarding placement of the nameplates? Thanks.

This way you can have the ASME Code books at your lap top or PC finger tips day/night or on the road, at home or in a bar.

This requirement is due to the fact that a vessel can be modified during its lifetime (i.e. remove saddles or skirts)and still operate within its design conditions. Therefore the name plate by being attached to the pressure envelope will always be attached to the vessel and the vessel maintians traceabilty.
Logical positions are near a manway or inspection opening. If the vessel is insulate make sure the name plate braket extends past the insulation thickness. If the vessel is partially inside a building try and put the name plate inside.
Another tip is to obviously try to make them easy to read, meaning that the operator does not have to climb up or over items to gain access to the name plate. I generally try to keep them at around 5'-6" above the floor or surfance the operator would be standing on.

else you will need a Contractor with R stamp to initiate the procedure.
