At what pressure does a pressure vessel require a PE?
At what pressure does a pressure vessel require a PE?
(OP)
Greetings:
I'm working on a project that involves a large vacuum box that will be operating at a gauge pressure of 13 psi (so the pressure is on the external structure). Does this require a PE to sign off on the design? Are there any specific ASME or ANSI codes I should be aware of? Thanks

First, I would check the local building codes where this large vacuum box will be installed.
A licensed PE may be required to satisfy local building codes and/or permits.
Re; Design Code. Look at ASME Section VIII, Div 1 in Appendix 13, Section 13-14 for guidance.
