Re Rating used vessel
(OP)
We have a client that has a vessel that is not code stamped and has been in service for some years. They are switching the service on the vessel and now want it to be stamped. Is this allowed considering all documentation and calculations will be provided?

Many PV manufacturers around the world will quote vessels to ASME but not code stamped. I will request the code stamp for the additional $2500 per vessel. Other jurisdictions around the world get the warm and fuzzy with the code stamp so well worth the additional cost.

They had one heck of a time when the old vessel failed and rocketed through thier facility destroying equipment. If a nearby anhydous ammonia tank had been damaged, many could have been killed....
Bottom line; IMHO only properly sized and functioning pressure relief systems and well as a proper HAZOP analysis can ensure pressure vessel safety...

approvals or permits to operate may not or probably you will never get by most Jurisdictions in the US.
State Specials depends on each State you apply, In California I now that about 95-99% of the applications are rejected.

Your vessel may have a "Texas Special" identification number. If so, notify the State (Chief Boiler Inspector's office)to obtain documents if you do not already have them.
