ASME Code for Air receivers
ASME Code for Air receivers
(OP)
Morning All,
I'm new to ASME Code and someone is asking me "what design code he can stamp on the data plate" for a new Air receiver they did.
These are built with 18" pipe and cap ends...also 2" and 1/2" 3000# Nozzles...Working Pressure 150psig.
Is there anyone who can help me on this.
Best regards
Akn

This actually sounds like it is a bit of pipe and hence not a pressure vessel, so ASME B 31.3 would be a good start point.
My motto: Learn something new every day
Also: There's usually a good reason why everyone does it that way

In which case, stamping it to Section VIII is going to be virtually impossible. Though this probably would be a vessel (even though fabricated of piping components), in some overseas jurisdictions and with a client who doesn't care one may be able to call it a pipe.

Which is the code for vessel design, fabrication and testing/inspection that is the code to be stamped on vessel nameplate.
