anybody please advice about reference standard for pressure vessels alignment tolerances ..

in most projects i find such tolerances in project specification (1mm/meter length of the vessel with maximum 25mm), but actually i dont
know such tolerances based on which standard..
note: the pressure vessel built according to ASME VIII and will be installed in refinery project in middle east.

anybody help is totally appreciated.
 
Double posting is usually not considered appropriate.

In an attempt to answer your question: when your project doenst spell out additionel requirements on top of the design code, and/or jurisdictional requirements, than there are none, except for sound engineering practice and RAGAGEP.
ASME VIII-1 has some tolerances though.
