ASME SA_53 B vs. ASTM A53 B
(OP)
Hi,
Any one can guide me that, can we use ASTM A-53 B material instead of ASME SA-53 B material in hot water boiler ASME-IV? where all our registered dwgs. are according to SA-53 B!
If yes, do we have to do any documentation?
Pls. guide me ASAP.
Thanks

The year of the ASTM Std. must be the same as listed in ASME SecII to be SA.
I would review the MTRs against the current SA spec. before I used the material. If the customer gave me a written OK..no problem.

The Code allows the use of a material spec; if the materials are the same anyone can use in Code Construction if the required procedure/cert by the mfr is followed.
other than that it is an agreement within the customer and the fabricator.
I have customers who will not allow the use of even SA53 materials.
