Section VIII Div 1 U-1 Interpretation 3

I quote:

U-1(c)(2) based on the Committee's consideration, the following classes of vessels are not included in the scope of this Division; however, any pressure vessel which meets all the applicable requirements of this Division may be stamped with the Code U Symbol:
(f) a vessel for containing water under pressure, including those containing air the compression of which serves only as a cushion, when none of the following limitations are exceeded:
(1) a design pressure of 300 psi (2 MPa);
(2) a design temperature of 210 deg. F (99 deg. C)

First, tell me what you think ASME was thinking when they wrote this and then I will tell you our application and then you can tell me if you think this part of ASME applies or not.

TYIA,

Sometimes the obvious is too clear. I once had an old AI tell me "Read the words".

This is what makes it fun and also why AIs are gouchy.

codeeng,

My apologies. You did answer my original question, but at the time I was still looking at it backwards. Now that I understand the wording, "Read the words", your answer makes sense.

Thanks,

Hey deanc-

Do AI's get more gouchy when you point out their typos?

gouchy; A bad attitude resulting from an acumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints.
From Grouch, a person with a bad attitude and gout, an accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints.
What typo?

Lost my r's. Probably from to much Code time and not enough coffee.
