B31.1 - Inspection
B31.1 - Inspection
(OP)
Hi,
We are considering a job which needs some pipework constructed to ASME B31.1.
Normally we make to ASME B31.3 and we inspect ourselves, however for B31.1 can I do the same or must I get an ASME Inspector to review and inspect ?

We are not the owner, we are an equipment designer who engages fabrication companies to make our designs.
We do not design boilers, but equipment that goes in the associated pipework, normally we work to B31.3, so B31.1 is unusual for us.
Have acquired a 2007 copy of B31.1.
As per Figs 100.1.2 our equipment is non boiler external piping and from my reading of 136.2.1 I don't see a need for code stamping, so I think we will have our own inspection plus owner/client inspection.
