Indian Boiler Regulations versus Section VIII

Indian Boiler Regulations versus Section VIII

Indian Boiler Regulations versus Section VIII

(OP)
We have been asked to built a pressure vessel per the standards of Indian Boiler Regulations and ASME Section VIII Div.2 together. Does anyone know how the Indian Boiler Regulations differ from ASME Section VIII rules? Any information would be very helpful. Thanks.

CHECK CODE CASE

RE: Indian Boiler Regulations versus Section VIII

pvesseleng:
1. As you say you've been asked to build a "pressure vessel" and not a boiler. So, as is typical in India, the design is expected to be in accordance with ASME Sec VIII. (Generally referred to as "Code Basis" rather than "Code Stamping")
2. Conformance with IBR becomes necessary in certain cases of pressure vessels - it is not necessary that they be boilers.
3. It would probably be the right thing to do if you design the vessel separately to satisfy ASME and IBR and then adopt the higher of the values.
Isthill:
Check which code case, please?
