Suppliers of "Safety Related" Cooling Towers
(OP)
Does anyone know of any cooling tower vendors that are capable of supplying a ASME Section III N-Stamped mechanical draft (forced or induced) cooling tower? I am aware of SPX/Marley but have not been able to locate any others.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Under "Ultimate Heat Sinks", the buyer's guide also lists American Beryllia, Inc. of Haskell, NJ; Applied Analysis Corp. of Reading, PA; and Plansee GmbH, of Austria. I don't know anything about this companies.
Note that in your title, you state you're looking for "Safety Related" cooling towers and then in the post you mention ASME. They are two different qualifications. Good luck in your search.

Actually, for the US, "safety-related" means that a licensee has a quality assurance program that complies with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, "Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants" and that the system, structure, or component was designed, built, tested, and operated in accordance with that program. It is possible to have safety-related components that are not ASME Section III components (for example, electrical components).
You can find out more about the quality assurance requirements from the NRC web page: www.nrc.gov . Choose "Electronic Reading Room" on the left hand side, then "Basic References." About halfway down the page there is a heading "Statutes and Regulations." The second item will take you to a page where you can select Part 50 - and from there, scroll down until you get to Appendix B.
