two shops fabricating

[engineer54]

What paperwork/nameplate issues would there be if an ASME Section VIII div 1 vessel was fabricated up to hydro in one shop and sent to another shop to have paint and other finishing touches done. Both shops are company owned, one in Mexico , the finishing touches shop in the US.

When the vessel leaves the first shop, is the nameplate stamped and attached to the vessel?

Will any welding to the pressure boundary occur at the second shop?

What are finishing touches????

 

[engineer54]

No welding will be done at second shop. nameplate is installed when leaves first shop
finishing touches are sandblast, paint, and valve installation.

 

[metengr]

No issues at this point.

The vessel is essentially completed once the hydro test is performed and nameplate attached. The U Form would be prepared and certified at the shop where the vessel was manufactured.
