rauval - Can you please clarify whether you're looking to use an unlisted base material, or whether you're looking to have a "foreign" material certified as one of the listed grades?
RE: Foreign materials ASME certification?
I am looking to use a foreign material, unlisted in the ASME code, but listed in the German PV code, for the fabrication of an ASME pressure vessel.

In response to GenB, I must confess that I am not very familiar with piping codes. However, I noted that ASME B31.1, paragraph 123.1.2(A) permits unlisted materials as long as they are made to a published specification, not necessarily ASME. So that sounds easier to me. That code also allows non-metallic piping, which is never allowed under Section VIII.

RE: Foreign materials ASME certification?
thank you for clarifying the adoption process for me. This is exactly what I needed.
