R-Stamp Required for Adding Pipe Support to Vessel Skirt?
(OP)
Hi all,
I am curious if anyone can quickly point me to language in Section VIII or PCC-2 (or other applicable standard) that clarifies whether or not welding a new pipe support to a vessel skirt requires an R-stamp?
Thanks,
Fellanti

Most likely an R-Stamp would not be required for welding a pipe attachment to a vessel skirt. However, one can always use an organization that has a National Board R-Certificate of authorization for this type of activity.

document the addition to the skirt in the vessel records,
insure that a valid, qualified Weld Procedure that matches the items to be welded is used;
insure that the Welder is appropriatly qualified
appropriate materials are being used
proper preheat and all other Weld Procedure variables are correct during all the welding.
You get a *lot* when you hire an R-stamp contractor and have him work "in the manner of Code, but excepting the Stamp & AI". Unless you have an API-510 and/or a Welding Inspector, I would hire an R-stamp contractor.

but depending of the size of the load: 'loadings' can trigger an AI to require Alteration by a certified R stamp holder.
