Are there any National Pressure Safety Rules/Codes for the USA?
Are there any National Pressure Safety Rules/Codes for the USA?
(OP)
In Europe, pressure safety is addressed on a national level by the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED). In Canada, pressure safety is addressed on a national level by the B51 code and CRN registration. What rules or codes exist for the USA? Are there national or local rules? Obviously the ASME codes for boiler and pressure vessels and piping exist, which are used in Canada, but is there a governing piece of legislation mandating their usage in the USA? I am thinking about this question mostly on the scale of a "fitting" (<1.5 cubic feet of enclosed volume).
Thanks.
Thanks.

Nuclear power generating stations and fuels processing and reprocessing facilities are also under US federal regulations.
