include the following: a. Design criteria for threaded fasteners should comply with the following industry standards (application of specific subsections and appendices of the ASME Code is summarized in EPRI NP-5769, Volume 2, Chapter 9): (1) ASME Code Section III, Subsection NC (Class 2), for Quality Group B components; (2) ASME Code Section III, Subsection ND (Class 3), for Quality Group C components; (3) ASME Code Section VIII for Quality Group D pressure vessels; (4) ANSI B31.1, "Power Piping," for Quality Group D piping and valves; (5) API-650, "Welded Steel Tanks For Oil Storage"; AWWA D 100, "AWWA Standard For Welded Steel Elevated Tanks, Standpipes, and Reservoirs for Water Storage"; or ANSI B96.1, "American National Standard For Welded Aluminum-Alloy Storage Tanks," for Quality Group D atmospheric storage tanks; and (6) API-620, "Design and Construction of Large, Welded, Low- Pressure Storage Tanks," for Quality Group D, 0-103 kPa (0-15 psig) rated storage tanks. b. Code Cases describing subjects related to fastener design and materials are included in Regulatory Guides 1.84 and 1.85, respectively. DRAFT Rev. 0 - April 1996 3.13-14 c. Design practices should include consideration of information and recommendations in EPRI NP-5769, Volumes 1 and 2, as endorsed by Generic Letter 91-17 and NUREG-1339. d. General guidance on the design of bolted mechanical (as opposed to structural) fasteners and joints can be found in standard textbooks such as Bickford (Ref. 29); EPRI NP-6316; and Volumes 1, 11, and 13 of the ASM Metals Handbook. e. A matrix of bolting materials commonly used in nuclear power plants is contained in EPRI NP-6316. 3. Maintenance requirements should include the following: a. Inservice inspection and testing should be in accordance with ASME Code Section XI, Subsection IWC, for ASME Code Class 2 fasteners larger than 5.1 cm (2 in) in diameter. No specific provisions are offered in Section IWC or IWD of the ASME Code regarding inservice tests or
