U1 With Violations
U1 With Violations
(OP)
We purchase unused vessels from "U" shops and add "repairs" to fit them up for use (we are an "R" shop). My question is, if a vessel comes in from a U shop with a U1 and we know there is a violation,what are we required to do? Additionally, if we have to do a repair on the piece that is the violation, does that change our responasbility? ie, do we have to repair the original violation? What I expect to see is non-code material used in the construction of a vessle who's original code of construction is ASME 2007 Add 2008.
Thanks
Thanks

I would suggest opening a dialogue with the AIA which signed off on the U1 form.

I have already contacted the AIA body for this vessel. I know the "right" thing to do. The problem is, my management may not. It will cost to correct and without specific guidlines as to legal requirements, they most likely will not want to pay for the repairs. What I am looking for is some muscle to put behind my demand that it be correct. If anyone has ASME code or NBIC statutes to site, that would give me some power. In any event, I will not sign the R! if it is not right..

So... you could ethically "pass the buck" to the jurisdiction in which these critters will be installed. At that point, you've raised the flag, let the jurisdiction be the hammer. That's their job.

Thanks for all the input. We were always prepared to do the right thing, it was just going to come down to how what it was going to cost us.

what do you mean?
attachments do not have to be listed in section II
as long as you can prove what it is and not over 35% carbon, i think you are fine.
but again, I don't know what you are welding
