Pressure Vessel & Process Piping AHJs
Pressure Vessel & Process Piping AHJs
(OP)
Hello all. I have a question regarding AHJs for pressure vessels and pressure piping in the United States; mainly, do you even have any? We're an engineering firm from Canada who is starting more and more work in the US. In Canada each province has a well defined AHJ who reviews and approves pressure piping systems (ASME BPVC and ASME B31.3 systems specifically). Our work to date is mostly in North Dakota where there are no inspections or approvals required. This just seems odd to me. A client wants us to review the use of this equipment in Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma as well. While some states seem to have adopted B31.3 for design, I am having trouble finding any requirements on registration, inspections, or approvals of designs. I've found a list at the link below for the NB but the list is mostly in reference to boiler registration.
Any assistance or clarifications on AHJs and their role in the design-build process would be extremely appreciated.

To be able to perform this engineering work however, be sure to have the proper licensure. In the states, to perform consulting you need a license in each jurisdiction you consult.

Oklahoma has specific requirements regarding inspection of Steam Carrying Piping Systems. You must check its requirements.
