ASME code and PED

[cmsvessel]

Could somebody indicate what we should do when we design, fabricate and inspect pressure vessels using ASME code but need PED for Europe country? Take pressure vessel made of SA516-70 as an exsample?

Be aware of the PED Hydrotest requirement of 1.43 x Design Pressure.
Sometimes this equates to a higher pressure than specified in UG-99 and additional checks are required to ensure the stresses during testing are below 90% Yield.

Also be careful with carbon steels. PED requires the Carbon Content to be less than 0.25% but some ASME materials (eg SA105) allows up to 0.35%
