Does anyone have supporting documents to show the following GIS does not require an ASME code stamp.
Voltage - 300kV
Gas - SF6
Pressure - 1.9BAR (27.5psi)
Tank matl. - mild steel
Approx. size - 4.5'dia. x 8'long
Internal components - electrical
I have been told that GIS units do not require...
My question is pertaining to the material which can be used in designing a low-pressure (27psi) pressure vessel containing SF6 (non-lethal). Can JIS SS400 (equivalent to ASTM A36) mild carbon steel be used when manufacturing such a pressure vessel? I see in the ASME code that SA-36 can be used...
I am trying to determine if a low pressure vessel is required to have an ASME stamp. The vessel was designed in Japan and under their regulations (JIS), if the pressure is less than 2Bar, than there is no required design standard. The vessel is now being imported to the U.S., and my question...
