				and selected at random by a representative of the Division, must successfully
				complete operational verification tests prior to issuance or renewal. The valve
				selection (one steam and one air or gas where steam and gas valves are
				repaired) shall be such as to cause a minimum disruption to the repair
				organization. However, the valves shall be typical of those repaired by the
				organization. Tests conducted must be witnessed by a representative of the

				initial installation, testing and adjustments of a new safety valve or a safety
				relief valve on a boiler or pressure vessel are not considered a
				repair.
b) The Division shall
				authorize properly trained and qualified employees of boiler or pressure vessel
				users or their designees (see Section 2120.1285 ) to make adjustments to set

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) When a safety or
				safety relief valve is repaired, a metal repair nameplate stamped with the
				information required by subsection (b) shall be attached and sealed by wire and
				lead or metal seal stamped to the valve either above, adjacent to or below the
				original stamping. See Section 2120.1250(b) for exception.
b) As a minimum, the information on the valve
				repair nameplate shall include the name of the repair organization and the date
				of repair. If set pressure has been changed, then the new pressure setting, as
				well as the blowdown (for "V" stamped valves), and new capacity shall be
				indicated. The original nameplate or stamping shall be marked out but left
				legible. The new capacity shall be based on that for which the valve was
				originally certified.
c) Illegible
				or Missing Nameplates
1) When the information
				on the original manufacturer's or assembler's nameplate or stamping is
				illegible, the nameplate or stamping shall be augmented or replaced by a
				nameplate stamped "duplicate" that contains all information that originally
				appeared on the nameplate or valve, as required by the applicable Section of
				the ASME Code, except the "V" or "UV" symbol and the National Board mark. The
				repair organization's nameplate and other required data specified in subsection
				(b) will make the repair organization responsible to the owner and the Division
				for the information on the duplicate nameplate being correct.
2) When the original valve nameplate is
				missing, the repair organization is not authorized to perform repairs to the
				valve under the program unless positive identification can be made to that
				specific valve and verification that the valve was originally stamped with a
				"V" or "UV" stamp. Valves that can be positively identified shall be equipped
				with a duplicate nameplate as described in subsection (c)(1), in addition to
				the repair organization stamped nameplate. The repair organization
				responsibilities for accurate data as defined in subsection (c)(1) shall
				apply.

a)
				Field repairs are defined as any repair conducted outside a fixed repair shop
				location. Field repairs may be conducted with the aid of mobile facilities with
				repair capabilities with or without testing capabilities. Field repairs may be
				conducted in user facilities without use of mobile facilities as described
				above.
b) Organizations that obtain
				certification for in-shop/plant repairs may also perform field repairs to
				safety and safety relief valves provided that:
1) Technicians trained as required by Section
				2120.1285 in the employ of the certificate holder perform such
				repairs;
2) Quality Control System
				meeting Section 2120.1260 with procedures for field repairs is
				maintained;
3) All functions
				affecting the quality of the repaired valves are supervised from the location
				where the certification is issued;
4)
A)
				Periodic audits of the work carried out in the field are made by quality
				control personnel of the Certificate holder to ensure that the requirements of
				the quality control system are met; this audit shall include but not be limited
				to testing by the Certificate holder of sample valves which were repaired in
				the field. Sample valves shall be tested using the Certificate holder's
				in-shop/plant testing facilities.
B) Provided the above provisions are met,
				verification testing of field repaired valves shall not be required.
C) Organizations that only perform field
				repairs must demonstrate field repair capabilities to representatives of the
				Division. Two valves, one steam and one air as applicable, must be repaired in
				the field and tested for verification. A Quality Control System Manual must be
				prepared describing all field repair activities that affect the performance of
				the repaired valves as specified in Section 2120.1260(b).

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Repaired valves shall meet the performance criteria
				  equivalent to the standard for new valves.
a) Valves marked for steam service or having
				special internal parts for steam service shall be tested on steam. Valves
				marked for general service may be tested with air or gas. Each valve shall be
				tested to demonstrate set pressure, response to blowdown, if required, and seat
				tightness in accordance with the requirements of the applicable Sections of the
				ASME Code.
b) When valves are
				repaired by the owner for the owner's own use and not for resale, valves for
				steam service may be tested on air or nitrogen for set pressure and, if
				possible, blowdown adjustment, provided manufacturer's corrections for
				differential in set pressure between steam and testing medium are applied to
				the set pressure.
c) A hydraulic or
				pneumatic device may be used to apply an auxiliary lifting load on the spring
				of a repaired valve which has been installed on a boiler or pressure vessel to
				establish the set pressure of the valve in lieu of the tests required in
				subsection (a) and (b) above, provided calibrated testing equipment and testing
				procedures are followed. In such cases, the manufacturer's recommendations
				shall be used to establish blowdown.
