U Stamp
(OP)
Quick question. Are vessels still required to be U - stamped? I see in the new Code they now have an ASME stamp instead. I don't deal with a lot of vessels anymore but I just received a vessel with a U stamp and I am being told that it is no longer a valid ASME stamp.

A couple selected Q and A's:
When will we be required to discontinue use of the old Code Symbol Stamps?
The old Code Symbol Stamps for ASME BPVC Sections I, IV, VIII, X, and XII (U, S, PP, etc.) were discontinued on January 31, 2013. The N-type Code Symbol Stamps (N, NA, and NPT) may be used until December 31, 2015.
Are we required to return the old Code Symbol Stamps?
Yes. The Code Symbol Stamps are the property of ASME and must be returned once you discontinue use of them.
