ASME B31.8 Calculations
ASME B31.8 Calculations
(OP)
Good Afternoon everyone, I am a quality manager at an ASME Section 8 Vessel shop. We have a job in-house that is a small skid with about 8 pipe spools. The job package hit my department and now its my job to adhere to the Code of construction (B31.8). My question is, Are calculations needed on the pipe spools? If so, what would I refer my engineer to? He seems to think that all he needed to do was run the formula in 841.1. Need some direction

"Belief" is the acceptance of an hypotheses in the absence of data.
"Prejudice" is having an opinion not supported by the preponderance of the data.
"Knowledge" is only found through the accumulation and analysis of data.
The plural of anecdote is not "data"
