					 Safety Orders unless the design, material and construction of the pressure
					 vessel or boiler is accepted by the Division as equivalent to the ASME
					 Code.
(b) Maximum allowable working
					 pressure.
(1) The employer shall establish, or
					 cause to be established, the maximum allowable working pressure of each boiler
					 or pressure vessel in accordance with the rules of recognized pressure vessel
					 codes applicable to the pressure vessel service involved.
(2) No pressure vessel shall be operated
					 above its maximum allowable working pressure at coincident design
					 temperature(s).
(3) The maximum
					 allowable working pressure for each vessel shall be evaluated at intervals
					 sufficiently frequent to give due consideration to corrosion and other factors
					 causing deterioration. The original code of construction shall be used to
					 establish the allowable stresses and joint efficiencies when re-rating,
					 de-rating or calculating the pressure boundary minimum thickness of a
					 vessel.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) When a gas compressor plant discharges
					 gas into a line to which other sources of gas supply are connected, except when
					 discharging into a public utility distributing system, there shall be a valve
					 installed in the plant's discharge line, or lines, for the purpose of
					 preventing the return flow of gas.
(b) Gas compressor discharge lines shall have
					 a pressure relief device. There shall be no intervening valves or fittings
					 between the compressor and its pressure relief device nor between the pressure
					 relief device and its point of discharge, which would render the pressure
					 relief device ineffective.
The pressure relief safety device shall be set to open at
						a pressure not to exceed one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the maximum
						allowable working pressure of the cylinder. The relieving capacity of the
						pressure relief device shall be such as to prevent a rise of pressure in the
						cylinders of more than ten percent (10%) above their maximum allowable working
						pressure as established by the manufacturer.
NOTE: A valve locked in the open position does not render
						the pressure relief device ineffective.
(c) Where a gas compressor pressure relief
					 device discharges into the atmosphere, the discharge outlet shall be located
					 outside of the compressor building; and if it discharges adjacent to the
					 building, the discharge outlet shall be located above the compressor building
					 eaves.
(d) Where hazardous
					 quantities of liquid may be present in the incoming gas to compressors, an
					 inlet scrubber shall be provided and a device installed on it that will either
					 give an audible warning or shut down the compressors if the liquid in the
					 scrubber exceeds a predetermined level.
(e) Gas lines connected to compressor intakes
					 shall be provided with shut-off valves in a safe location outside the
					 compressor building, if there is one, but in no case within a reasonable
					 distance of the compressor.
(f)
					 Before maintenance work requiring the opening of lines or equipment containing
					 gas is performed on a compressor or its suction or discharge piping, the valves
					 in the intake and discharge lines shall be closed and locked to protect
					 employees from the danger of escaping gas. If this is inadequate, the lines
					 shall be blinded, or other equally effective means taken, to prevent the escape
					 of gas.

					 site.
(b) Each stationary tank or
					 vessel containing flammable, corrosive, or hazardous liquids or gases shall be
					 identified by a letter, number, name or combination of these. Such
					 identification should include information which either conveys the health
					 and/or physical hazards of the substance in the tank or vessel or may be used
					 to identify the hazards from readily available literature such as material
					 safety data sheets. The identifications shall, when practical, be located so as
					 to be legible from the location at which the tank or vessel is operated or
					 controlled.
NOTE: National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 704 may
						be used as a hazard identification method on stationary tanks or

					 practical and the correct operation of the valves of the line is essential to
					 the safety of employees. The identification of the lines shall be by name or
					 color placed on the lines or on the valves in the lines and shall be legible
					 from the place at which the valves are operated. This shall not prohibit
					 identification by the use of both a name and a color. Identifications shall be
					 maintained so as to be legible.
