Year Built
Year Built
(OP)
When does year built apply? The year it was designed or the year it was hydrotested? Or are we allowed to decide?

RE: Year Built
DG72:I agree this is most correct,however depending on the situation the year built could also be when the paperwork is accepted(traveler).
Lets say in larger volume production line at years end. This needs to be agreed upon by manufactuer and the AIA with a QC procedure. There may also need to be an agreement with the NB for registration.
The Code does not clearly define this and perhaps that is the reason.
I would suggest reaching an agreement with one's AIA and other parties concerned.

In particular a vessel is not a Code Vessel until the Data Report is signed which is after hydrotest.
So, ASME Vessel manufactures are real particular around the end of December in order to keep there file logs and NB numbers in line.

There's nothing really difficult about the "year built" process. The plant production folks have no problem knowing when a vessel is hydrotested and stamped. They just look at the calendar. The ASME Code year and edition is typically noted on the drawings and listed in the traveler. It's just a business as usual procedure.
