Nameplate Consistency
Nameplate Consistency
(OP)
We are designing a vessel for a skid manufacturer here in the US. The owner is in Canada, so the vessel will carry CRN.
After submitting the initial drawing, we received a revision request asking that the design temperature be shown in both SI(C) and US(F) on the nameplate. When we submitted the revised nameplate design with both metric temperatures and pressures, they came back again. They specifically asked that we ONLY show pressure values in PSIG, and temperatures in BOTH SI and US.
My first reaction was: Why? But does anyone know if there's a specific section that addresses any consistency standard on nameplates? UG-116 & UG-119 do not address it.

RE: Nameplate Consistency
I have found conflicting interpretations on mixing markings found on the dataplate and agree with SnTMans additional marking comments.
For my $0.02, regarding units for a design, consistency among units customary for the installed location is appropriate and by submitting to the client as you have, would be the best option of course with AI concurrence.
