    Just curious! Why don't just you make the hole bigger?

    U stamp question

    I would suggest discussing with your AI. If the vessel is still in your facility and under your control, it could be handled with an NCR. It would just be a matter of destroying the MDR and certifying a new one after the modification has been made. If you have already sent in the MDR for...

    Authorized Inspector Conflict of Interest

    evenpar; I think you would have gotten much more satisfaction if you reported this to ASME and the National Board, as suggested in the begining of this thread. Best Regards

    ASME Sect 1: Pneumatic Test in Lieu of Hydrostatic Test

    Interesting discussion; There is an old interpretation (I-86-42)that would allow a pneumatic test "prior" to the "required" hydrostatic test, but unless there is a Code Case that allows pneumatic instead of hydrostatic test you have no option. Your AI would not have the authority to "negotiate"...

    demonstration vessel

    Yes, then purchase and receive the new nozzle, fit-up and tack inplace, do any required examinations and then stop so you have some welding to do during the Joint Review, which would demonstrate those parts of the manual. As long as you are able to demonstrate all parts of the QC manual using...

    demonstration vessel

    trottiey, A demo vessel would only be allowed if you have no Code work in progress, otherwise you have to use actual Code work as the demonstration.

    demonstration vessel

    REGRUMBLE; You don't need to complete a demo vessel after the Joint Review. If you didn't complete the previous one, you could still use that one and just purchase materials for whats remaining and continue after updating the drawings and calc's to current Code. I have always found it easier to...

    Data reports and stamping a part.

    It sounds like your customer is an ASME Certificate Holder. They would not issue Partial Data Reports for items sent out for overlay, as the shell sections will be sent back to them and included in a complete vessel, which will have their U-stamped nameplate and a U-1 or U-1A master Data Report...
