U Stamp without National Board Registration?
U Stamp without National Board Registration?
(OP)
Hello to everybody,
this is my first writing in the forum, despite I already took a lot of tips from it. I hope to share with you my know how for a common advantage
We have to supply some pressure vessels, as per client's requirement these have to be U stamped.
I just now received a quotation from a vendor, stating "ASME U Stamp vessel without National Board Registration"
What does it mean? This is the first time I face this problem.
Does it mean that they are going to design, fabricate and test the vessel as per ASME VIII Div 1 rules, but they are not certifying this? So does it mean that they are not going to involve an AI to certify?
Looking forward to receiving your clarification,
cheers
Michele

RE: U Stamp without National Board Registration?
National board registration is a process where the original U1 or U1A form is sent to the national board for a permanent record of the vessel and it's future repairs or alterations.
NB registation is required in some jurisdictions but not by others. It is the responsibility of the purchaser/user to determine whether it is required or not
We register each and every vessel out of our shop whether it's required or not, just for a record for the vessel.

I searched into National Board website about different countries requirements, but with no success.
Anybody experienced something for Saudi Arabia?

2.30 for little bitty pots
most of ours are in the 70 to 90 dollar range
i don't know how big or how many vessels this poster is talking about.
RE: U Stamp without National Board Registration?
As the poster said, the vessels were quoted by a Saudi fabricator and to be installed in Saudi. I don't remember any Saudi project required NB registration even though all vessels are made per ASME code.
There is no need for a Saudi fabricator to get NB stamp unless it make vessels for US clients.
