In my project I am working on a piece of equipment that uses hydraulic cylinders and pressure vessels to take the heave motions out of a system hanging from the back end of a vessel. The pressure vessels in the system are coded to ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. We are in the process of revising the plumbing in the system and replacing valves for the application with new ones that are better suited for use in the application (subsea environment).
Do you know what standard the plumbing of the system should be certified to in order to get the most milage out of our stamped pressure vessels?
I would hate to have the cylinders coded properly but lose out on a job because the plumbing was not properly stamped or certified.
The equipment as a whole is being certified by Det Norske Veritas (DNV) a company commonly used when certifying offshore marine equipment. They don't offer specifics about the plumbing certification requirements.
I am planning to buy the Pressure Vessel portion of the ASME B&PV code 2010, but want to be sure I don't spend $700+ dollars on the wrong code for my application.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
