jolivers;
I would suggest you locate an ASME Section VIII, Div 1 code book and review "Submittal of Technical Inquiries to the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee - Mandatory Appendix 16 or at the front of the book for the 2011 edition of Section VIII, Div 1.
16-4 CODE CASES
Requests for Code Cases shall provide a Statement of
Need and Background Information similar to that defined
in 16-3(b) and 16-3(c), respectively, for Code revisions or
additions. The urgency of the Code Case (e.g., project
underway or imminent, new procedure, etc.) must be
defined and it must be confirmed that the request is in
connection with equipment that will be ASME stamped,
with the exception of Section XI applications. The proposed
Code Case should identify the Code Section and
Division, and be written as a Question and a Reply in the
same format as existing Code Cases. Requests for Code
Cases should also indicate the applicable Code Editions
and Addenda to which the proposed Code Case applies.
