ASME I - Steam Drum
ASME I - Steam Drum
(OP)
Hi,
Can anybody guide me, that as a Boiler manufacturer ("s" Stamp Holder), we subcontracted Steam drum ( As per ASME I) to other manufacturer!
Other manufacturer sent the built drum with "S" Part stamp and partial data report to us.
Now we found that, the Coupling on the stam drum require bigger size!
in this case how to handle this? As a boiler manufacturer
(has valid "S" certificate), can we replace this couplings by our self? If yes, do will have to documented this? Does Final MDR require remark about this?
Your prompt reply will be highly appriciated?
Thanks in advane

RE: ASME I - Steam Drum
Yes, you can change the coupling but you must document this on a partial data report. Check with your AI for the necessary documentation requirements.

Thanks for quick reply.
But i want to clarify that, we didn't built the drum and we bought it with Partial data report and "S" Part stamp!
SO we can not document this on a partial data report!
Now we as a boiler manufacturer has to replace couplings on that built steam drum!
In this case, can we change couplings on built steam drum, which bought with "S" stamp and partial data report?
If yes, How? Reference?
Your prompt reply will be highly appriciated!

Check with your Authorized Inspector, since you also hold an ASME S stamp.

In my opinion, and I am sure alot of others have their opinions, there is more than one approach to satisfy this scenario. As long as there is a paper trail, and it meets jurisdictional and Code compliance, it should be a simple process.

The AI may or may not accept your request and you may have to send it back to the original stamp holder for repair.
