Code boundary issue
Code boundary issue
(OP)
Gentelmen,
I'm back with another issue, We are building a HRSG type boiler. My drawings supplied by the designer call the Interconnecting pipe, which connect the HP, IP, LP, drums to the internal modules as Section 1 Boiler Proper. My AI is calling this same piping Section 1/B31.1 wich totally changes the NDT required. The design company published a weld schedule, in which all required NDT is listed. My list matched this exactly, until the AI made his interpatation. What would be the best course of action to argue this point with my AI. I built another HRSG, just down the road from here using a AI from the same office, his interpatation matched the designers. Can the AI change the designers boundaries.

Back in the 90's I was the AI on a number of field erected, modular type HRSG units so I understand your confusion. See Figure PG-58.3.1 of Section I, metengr and your AI are correct.

Relax, all is well. Read the Preamble to Section I, fourth, fifth, and seventh paragraphs.

Please read the Preamble in Section I. This is the first thing one must do to completely understand what is considered boiler proper and individual components that are connected together.
