Wrong Stamping
Wrong Stamping
(OP)
I had the stamping done on a header with low stress stamps and the year built is wrong. Should have been 2009 not 2010. Is it ok to sand off the 10 and replace it with 09? I cannot find anything on removal of stamping under ASME section 1.

I suggest you ask your Authorized Inspector for the proper procedure.

At your AI discretion, you may cross out the whole stamp and restamp it fresh or cross the incorrect year and restamp the correct year. I don't believe the later would be acceptable modification, though (not controlled).
