Flange mounted Equipment on ASME U stamped Vessels
Flange mounted Equipment on ASME U stamped Vessels
(OP)
Description
An electrical heater are to be flange mounted on a U-stamped vessel. The vessel is delivered from the fabricator without the heater installed. Therefore the heater will not be included in the certification of the vessel.
Questions
1.Does the Heater need to be U-stamped?
2.If ASME VII is applicable for this assembly, which section would that be?
3.Are there any other code issues related to this assembly that we need to concider?

I suggest puting this post in the Boiler and Pressure Vessel engineering forum, if you have not already done so.

I have done as suggested by PVguy and posted this question in the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Engineering forum ref:
Code requirements for flange mounted equipment?
Anyway thanks for replying. Please find my answers to your questions below.
1. The heater does project into the vessel.
2. In question number two I meant sec VIII.
3. The heater manufacturer has concluded that since there is no welding on pressurized parts, sec. VIII does not apply.
RE: Flange mounted Equipment on ASME U stamped Vessels
you have to specify,
are you heating: air, water, any other liquid or steam?
one can not answer if there is not sufficient info; is it a secret gas or liquid?
