General Information

//^:^^#^~^^":~::"^$$^~@""#:$@^^:"^$""*~~$"^^:@^^^~~":\\
This publication includes all written interpretations issued between the indicated dates by the
ASME Staff on behalf of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee in response to inquiries
concerning interpretations of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. A contents is also included
which lists subjects specific to the interpretations covered in the individual volume. These
interprefations are not a part of the Addenda or the Code.
The interpretations are taken verbatim from the original letters, except for a few typographical and
editorial corrections made for the purpose of improved clarity. In some instances, a review of the
interpretation revealed a need for corrections of a technical nature. In these cases, a revised
interpretation is presented bearing the original Interpretation Number with the suffix R and the
original file number with an asterisk. Following these revised interpretations, new interpretations and
revisions to them issued during the indicated dates are assigned Interpretation Numbers in
chronological order. Interpretations applying to more than one Code Section appear with the
interpretations for each affected Section.
ASME procedures provide for reconsideration of these interpretations when or if additional
information is available which the inquirer believes might affect the interpretation. Further, persons
aggrieved by an interpretation may appeal to the cognizant ASME committee or subcommittee, As
stated in the Statement of Policy in the Code documents, ASME does not "approve," "certify,"
"rate," or "endorse" any item, construction, proprietary device, or activity.
An interpretation applies either to the Edition and Addenda in effect on the date of issuance of
the interpretation or the Edition and Addenda stated in the interpretation. Subsequent revisions to
the Code may supersede the interpretation.
For detailed instructions on preparation of technical inquiries to the ASME Boiler and Pressure
Vessel Committee, refer to Appendix B.
Subject and Numerical Indexes
Subject and numerical indexes have been prepared to assist the user in locating interpretations
by subject matter or by location in the Code. They cover interpretations issued from Volume 12 up
to and including the present volume, and will be updated with each volume.
