ASME Section VIII Div 1 Class III ???

[dalea60]

Hi,

Does anyone know what Class II or Class III would refer to when listed after the code such as the following?
ASME Section VIII Div 1 Class II
ASME Section VIII Div 1 Class III

Could it be an old method from the UK?

Thanks,

I believe that you are missing a comma (or a dot) after the ASME Section VIII Div 1. The Class II or III could refer to anything, because are not related to this code.

thanks gr2vessels

The text is listed on the drawings in a Design Requirements table as DESIGN CODE: ASME VIII, DIV 1, CLASS II.

I've been ignoring the Class part.

Are you sure its not ASME Section III? Is it a nuclear component? ASME VIII Div. 1 Class II doesn't make sense but I think ASME III Div. 1 Class II does...

dalea60, my guess is that the Class has meaning to and is specified by the user. Can you get clarification?

It wouldn't have anything to do with the occupancy category in the seismic analysis.

Thanks for the responses.

jte, the vessels aren't related to nuclear.

SnTMan, you're probably correct. Drawing origin is from the UK. I wanted to eliminate the obvious answer before I looked stupid asking the customer about it.

innovation2, we normally wouldn't think much about seismic analysis since these vessels convey material & are small. I'd hope seismic data would be listed separately from the BPV code note.

Thanks,
Dale
