CASES OF ASME BOILER AND PRESSURE VESSEL CODE

2256

Approval Date: August 11, 1997 Code Cases will remain available for use until annulled by the applicable Standards Committee.

Case 2256 Valve Markings Section IV Inquiry: HG-402.1 of Section IV permits the marking on the valve nameplate to be stamped, etched, impressed, or cast. May photosensitive imagery also be used to meet the requirements of HG-402.1? Reply: It is the opinion of the Committee that photosensitive imagery may be used to meet the requirements of HG-402.1, provided the marking will not be obliterated in service.

The Committees function is to establish rules of safety, relating only to pressure integrity, governing the construction of boilers, pressure vessels, transport tanks and nuclear components, and inservice inspection for pressure integrity of nuclear components and transport tanks, and to interpret these rules when questions arise regarding their intent. This Code does not address other safety issues relating to the construction of boilers, pressure vessels, transport tanks and nuclear components, and the inservice inspection of nuclear components and transport tanks. The user of the Code should refer to other pertinent codes, standards, laws, regulations or other relevant documents.
