Legality of not updated copies
Legality of not updated copies
(OP)
I have a an doubt and I think that you might be able to help me. We design and fabricate vessels using ASME VIII Div I. We own various versions of this code, but other sections such as section 2 A, B, C & D are getting slightly long in the tooth. As you know all the allowable stresses, yield, tensile and vacuum charts are obtained from this part of the code.
But from a legal standpoint, is it compulsory that we own the current standard in full? I am thinking that if we are not including any stamp on the nameplate, we wouldn't need to have ASME 2 updated. What do you think? I mean, our clients know that we are designing according to ASME but no code mark is stamped on our vessels.
Is just having section 8 current ok?

"We were using an old edition of II, but that doesn't mean that the vessel is not design according to ASME VIII Div 1. "
Some times we want to understand the Code the easy way, our way.
Good luck.

Depends on how your legal system is in your country, but you'd be better advised just to stop mentioning ASME, unless you intend to stamp it.
