Both certificates are validated by the manufacturer’s authorized inspection representative independent of the manufacturing department, but 3.2 certificate is validated in addition by either the purchaser’s authorized inspection representative or the inspector designated by the official regulations.
See Code Case 2353 for Section I. Based on this Code Case you can use WB36-pipes (not plates!) but you have to purchase, design, weld, postweld heat treat etc. according to this Code Case. There are quite many special requirements for manufacturing when using this grade.
Actually this material...

There seems to ne no any standard for test reports in ASTM/ASME. But in most of material specifications is referred to General specification which should be followed in addition to applicable material spec. And requirements for information to be stated on material test reports is described in...
Note that this latest revision CC2199-5 has a lot of requirements for heat treatment after forming depending on the strain. These haven't been in earlier revisions.
Normally when using ASME materials in Europe manufactures purchase the material with additional impact test having requirement as Corvax wrote aboved. How else the impact energy could be quaranteed if ASME or ASTM does not state any requirement. Additional testing for material coming from the...
About PWHT of German material 15NiCuMoNb5. There was at least earlier a recommendation by steel manufacturers to carry out the PWHT at not higher than about 30°C lower temperature as the tempering temperature of original material to avoid the dropping of strength values. Without knowing more...
"Does Metric pipe actually exist? e.g. for A106-B"
For several specifications is both imperial and metric specifications e.g. A335/A335M. But it is strange that just your example A106 which is adopted to ASME IIA is referring only to imperial unit specification not to metric unit specification...
About this Boiler External Piping Edition/Addenda.
I have taught by AI's long time ago that because BEP goes under Section I's jurisdiction for Boiler External Piping you shall use for B31.1 the Edition and Addenda into which is referenced in applicable Section I table A-360.
So when this moment...
yeoyeo,
15Mo3 is the old German DIN-material grade which has been replaced in current European EN-material standards with grade 16Mo3.
Nowadays e.q. welding neck flanges and slip-on flanges are specified in EN1092-1. In this standard is some carbon steel grades (P250GH,...) which have at at...
Do you mean plate manufacturer fulfilling the requirement of PED 97/23EC in which is stated "material manufacturer has an appropriate quality-assurance system, certified by a competent body established within the Community and having undergone a specific assessment for materials"?
I think most...
Hi,
Am I right that cladding pipes/tubes with stainless weld overlay goes under Code jurisdiction? Meaning if these pipes/tubes are to be used in vessels or boilers per applicable ASME Code the company performing overlay welding needs ASME stamp, issues data report etc. I assume that that these...
