Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) The manufacturer of any complete boiler
						unit to be stamped with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers symbol has
						the responsibility of assuring through proper ASME Code certification that all
						work performed by it or others responsible to it complies with all requirements
						of the ASME Code, including design, construction, materials and workmanship.
						When some portions of a complete boiler unit are supplied by, or ASME Code work
						is performed by others not responsible to the manufacturer, the manufacturer
						has the duty of obtaining from these other organizations their proper ASME Code
						certification, covering all parts of a field-assembled boiler and of preparing
						the appropriate Manufacturers' Data Report Forms comprising such
						certification.
(b) Each boiler,
						superheater and waterwall to which an ASME Code symbol is to be applied shall
						be fabricated by a manufacturer who is in possession of the appropriate ASME
						Code Symbol Stamp, and a valid Certificate of Authorization. Six ASME Code
						Symbol Stamps are defined as follows:
S -- power boiler symbol stamp
M -- miniature boiler symbol stamp
E -- electric boiler symbol stamp
A -- boiler assembly symbol stamp
PP -- pressure piping symbol stamp
V --safety valve symbol stamp
Any manufacturer or assembler holding an official "S",
						  "M", "E", "A", "PP", or "V" stamp of the American Society of Mechanical
						  Engineers and the Certificate of Authorization shall have, and demonstrate, a
						  quality control system to establish that all Code requirements including
						  material, design, fabrication, examination (by the manufacturer), and
						  inspection for boilers and boiler parts (by the authorized inspector) will be
						  met.
(c) The manufacturer
						shall stamp each boiler, superheater or waterwall, constructed in compliance
						with this Part in the presence of the authorized inspector, after the
						hydrostatic test, in the shop of the manufacturer, except that in cases where
						boilers, superheaters, waterwalls, or steel economizers are not completed and
						hydrostatically tested before shipment, proper stamping shall be applied at the
						shop and the data reports required by the ASME Code shall be signed by the same
						or different inspectors who shall indicate the portions of the inspections made
						by the shop and in the field. The stamping shall consist of the appropriate
						Code symbol which shall be put on each piece of equipment listed above in the
						locations specified in the ASME Code.
(d) Each boiler shall be stamped with the
						appropriate American Society of Mechanical Engineers symbol and stamped in
						accordance with the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors
						requirements. In addition to the symbol, the following items shall also be
						stamped with letters and figures at least 5/16 inch high (5/32 inch on
						miniature boilers if necessary), arranged as shown below:
Items on Boilers
Manufacturer's serial number
Certified by (Name of Manufacturer)
Maximum allowable working pressure when built
Heating surface (or kilowatt power input for electric
						  boilers)
Year built
Rated steaming capacity (required only for waste heat
						  boilers not equipped for, direct firing)
Items on Waterwalls and Superheaters
Manufacturer's serial number
Certified by (Name of Manufacturer)
Maximum allowable working pressure when built
Heating surface in square feet (not required for
						  integral superheaters) (rated BTU per hour absorption for an isolated
						  economizer)
Design temperature (required only for separately fired
						  superheaters)
