UM vessel and partial data report

UM vessel and partial data report

UM vessel and partial data report

(OP)
If have the following question:
Do I need a partial data report (signed by a autorised inspector) for a pressure containing part of a UM-marked vessel if produced by another factory?  
Or is it sufficient to test the part again in our shop and stamp it with our ouwn UM stamp?

RE: UM vessel and partial data report

To assure compliance with ASME B&PV Code Section VIII, Div 1 requirements, a pressure retaining part manufactured by another firm must have a Form U-2A, which is an Alternative Partial Data Report.

RE: UM vessel and partial data report

I will read and think further but...
I understand that you can not sub a UM vessel,
but on the othe hand: your shop is responsible for the mfg of the vessel and you could get away with a partial certification from another mfr.
You could get away but just be carefull because if your AI does not endorse the practice, you will loose the recertification at yearly audit. I am sure of that.

You better consult your AI (he still involved in your UM mfg and can review and INSPECT whenever he/she wants to)
