    ASME Section 1 Boiler Superheater Tmin

    What about for fitness for service? In my situation, I am trying to determine if existing bends need to be replaced. Does ASME in this scenario (calculating Tmin), distinguish year/edition of ASME Section 1 between repairs and alterations from fitness for service?

    Metengr Where does ASME section 1 allow you to use a more current code for allowable stress values? Thanks

    ASME Section 1 Boiler Superheater Tmin

    Thanks for the information. This is an in-service boiler which was constructed in 1970. I am having problems determining the allowable stress valves at 850F for SA 178 A and SA 178 C at 880F because I do not have a copy of the 1971 ASME code. That’s why I was wondering if I need to use code...

    ASME Section 1 Boiler Superheater Tmin

    Hi, I a new to this but I thought I would ask a question. I am working on calculating the Tmin of a superheater tube bend. I was wondering if I should use the original code of construction or the current edition of the ASME code? Thanks
