Anyone know how to verify SMACNA approval?

Anyone know how to verify SMACNA approval?

(OP)
Cody Company sent us their Co-Lox "Button Lock" Furnace Pipe for strong pipe.

The Cody Co-Lox system consists of button punches on the crimped ends that "snap" into place behind an inside hem on the uncrimped ends of all pipe, elbows and fittings in 4-14" Dia. Strong, permanent field joints can be made in a minimum of time using sheet metal snips, a hand crimping tool and a hand snaplock punching tool. For increased strength and durability, additional beads have been added to the pipe at intervals of 6" from crimp hem 12"-12"-12" center 6" from bottom of pipe.

My Question: Anyone ever uses this product before? Does Cody Company's product meet the SMACNA standards? How can you verify?

Thank you very much.

RE: Anyone know how to verify SMACNA approval?

Is there a website avaiable to view this product?

RE: Anyone know how to verify SMACNA approval?

Check with SMACNA if they have a certification program. The vendor should submit his product for testing & certification. SMACNA should perform the tests required for a fee.

liliput, that is a good idea. I don't know SMACNA's number? Do you have have it available?

RE: Anyone know how to verify SMACNA approval?

It depends on what pressure class your aplication is. While the snaplock seams and their metal guages probably meet SMACNA Standards at some pressure classes (lower)they may not at the higher pressures. To find out you need the SMACNA Standards publication to see if the product meets their requirements.Just because a company has not formally submittided their "shop standards" to SMACNA for approval and paid their fee for same, doesn't necessarily mean that they don't meet SMACNA standards. As in specifications reading "constructed according to SMACNA standards" doesn't mean that it has to have a SMACNA stamp only that the construction should be able to meet their standards.

My 2 cents

Thank you my 2 cents, I am getting to learn more about SMACNA from you. I don't know if what I approve to meet SMACNA standard but I am hoping for the best.
