OneCIS I nsuran c e C o m p a n y
SECTION I
GENERAL
This summary of changes to Section I of the ASME Code is not all inclusive and contains the
changes we consider most important to our clients. Please remember to use the Code for actual
requirements.
The 2011 Addenda to the Code become mandatory January 1, 2012. This addenda was printed on
white paper and was printed in its entirety. Also please note that Footnotes have been changed to
Endnotes and these endnotes are part of the Standard.
ASME will no longer issue addenda. The next edition of the Code will be issued in 2013 and then
issued every 2 years thereafter. Code Case Supplements will be published two times a year.
Interpretations will be posted on the ASME website at http://cstools.asme.org/Interpretations.cfm
in January and July of each year.
What ASME calls a Special Notice may be posted on the website prior to the 2013 Edition to
provide approved revisions to Code requirements. These revisions may be used upon issuance but
become mandatory 6 months after issuance. Errata to the Code will also be posted on the ASME
website to provide corrections. Errata are typographical or grammatical errors.

SECTION I
GENERAL
The ASME is phasing out multiple stamps and moving to a single mark. The major driver
behind this change is to fully protect the marks. As the ASME needs to register marks in
the more than 100 countries in which stamped equipment is used, the use of a single mark
allows ASME to register one mark in these countries thus making it easier to afford greater
protection of a single mark rather than lesser protection for multiple marks.
The proposed schedule for implementing the move to a single ASME certification mark
will be publication in the 2011 Addenda to the Code. There will be a transition period
during which a Manufacturer or Constructor would be able to use either one of the 25
applicable current marks or the single mark. Use of the single mark would then become
mandatory on January 1, 2013. There will be a policy statement in the front of the ASME
Code books describing this transition period and an implementing Code Case in both the
BPV and Nuclear Code Case Books.
Each stamp holder must go to ASMEs CA connect (http://www.caconnect.asme.org),
establish an account if they have not already and request the new Mark. ASME will
not be sending individual notifications of this to the stamp holders It is up to the
stamp holders to independently request this new mark
An example of how the stamping may appear In the case of Section I, the Designator that
will appear directly under the Certification Mark as S, A" or PP".

SECTION I, PART PG
PG-8.1.4.2
PG-67.7 was deleted in the 2009 Addenda. The reference in PG-8.4.1.2 to this paragraph
was deleted.
PG-13
Added CSA-G40.21 Grades 44W and 50W material to PG-13
PG-16.6
An action is being proposed to bring the Forewords of all BPV Sections up to date, and to
remove from the Forewords any paragraphs that embody rules, since it has been
determined that the Forewords are not part of the Code and cannot contain enforceable
rules.
Paragraph PG-16.6 was added to add the statement from the Forward addressing
tolerances. This was added here because many feel that Forwards are not a part of the
Code. Since the tolerance statement is mandatory language it was felt it needed to be
added to the body of the Code.

HG-530.2
Some confusion was occurring with respect to proper name that should be shown on rating
plate as an Assembler with a Certificate to Install Nameplate only is not sufficiently
covered in the Code currently.
With the addition of the nameplate installation certificate the Section IV Committee
intended that the certificate holder was the one to assume responsibility for the boiler and
they would have their name on the nameplate.
Revise HG-530.2(c) to add new sub-paragraphs 1 and 2. New sub-paragraph HG530.2(c)(1)(a) and 530.2(c)(1)(b) will define a Shop Assembler as the certificate holder that
ultimately applies the ASME nameplate to the case iron or cast aluminum boiler. Subparagraph HG-530.2(c)(2) will be sub-divided into HG-530.2(c)(2)(a) through HG530.2(c)(2)(d) and will incorporate the current requirements notes in HG-530.2(c)(1)
through HG-530.2(c)(4).

HG-502.3
At present, Section IV requires that the yield or tensile strength of a part burst tested be
determined from a specimen cut from the part tested from a location where the stress
during the test did not exceed the yield strength. On some cast parts, it is very difficult to
locate a section where the part was not over stressed. Allowing the yield or tensile strength
to be determined from separately cast bars that were poured from the same lot as the tested
part will insure that the yield or tensile strength thus determined will not be based on a part
previously over stressed.
(c) For cast pressure parts, cast test bars may be used in lieu of the specimens referenced
above. If used, cast test bars shall be produced, machined and tested in accordance with the
requirements of Section II. Cast test bars shall be poured from the same ladle of material,
under the same sand conditions, that the cast pressure part subjected to bursting is poured
from and shall receive the same thermal treatment as the cast pressure part subjected to
bursting.
OneCIS I nsuran c e C o m p a n y

(d) The design pressure P, psi, for pressure parts, tested under this paragraph shall be
computed by the following formula:
P = PB/5 X S/(Sa or Sm)
where
B PB = bursting test pressure
S = specified minimum tensile strength
Sa = average actual tensile strength of test specimens or cast test bars,
Sm = maximum tensile strength of range of specification.

Experience has shown that some pressure vessels operating at temperature in the creep
range of the materials have experienced cracking after some period of operation. Such
cracking has most often occurred at locations that exhibit stress concentrations and/or local
thermal gradients, and weldments. Typical locations where cracking has occurred are as
follows:
Nozzle reinforcing pad attachment welds
Nozzle-to-shell junctions
Support attachment points
Other fillet welded attachments
Added a reference to WRC-Bulletin 470 Recommended Design Details for Elevated
Temperature Service. This is a cautionary note to help in preventing cracking in the creep
range.

The current rules for reinforcement of multiple openings in flat covers used to support
electric element heaters result in greater thicknesses than rules consistent with those in Part
UHX. Flanged electric immersion heaters consist of tubular electric heating elements
typically mounted in multiple penetrations in ASME B16-5 blind flanges. Under the
current Code rules and interpretations, a flanged electric heater element support plate is not
considered a tubesheet but rather an unstayed flat head or cover. Therefore, the rules in Part
UHX are not applicable and the cover thickness requirements are calculated using the
formulas and rules in UG-34 and UG-39. For multiple penetrations, the rules in UG-34
(c)(2) require the value under the square root sign in formula UG-34 (c)(2), Formula (2) to
be doubled for both operating and bolting calculations. This causes the thickness to be
unnecessarily greater than that computed using the Part UHX methodology. The Appendix
would establish mandatory rules for the design of electric immersion heater element
support plates that are specific to these products using the rules established in Part UHX,
specifically UHX-12 for U tube heat exchangers.
Typically blind flanges are used for the electric immersion heater element support plate.
However it is not uncommon for a manufacturer to be forced to use the next higher class of
blind flange in order to achieve the minimum thickness requirements for both operating and
bolting as calculated by UG-34 and UG-39. Moreover the required thicknesses as
determined by these rules are typically 20% to 30% thicket than similar calculations for
heat exchanger tubesheets subjected to the same pressure and temperature. The proposed
Appendix would establish mandatory rules for the design of electric immersion heater
element support plates that are specific to these products using the rules established in Part
UHX, specifically UHX-12 for U tube heat exchangers.
Revised to add a reference to Appendix 41 for electric immersion heaters and their design.

modified to include vessels that operate where time dependent properties govern the
allowable stress.
SECTION VIII DIVISION 2
For welded joints exceeding 2 inches in thickness, Table AF-142.1 of the 2004 Edition of
Section VIII Div 2 (incl. 2006 Addenda) listed the maximum allowable offset in welds as a
function of the thickness, with a maximum of 3/8 inch in longitudinal joints, or 3/4 inch in
the case of circumferential joints. When the 2007 Edition of Div 2 was published, the limit
was shown as a maximum of the two criteria. This has the effect of increasing the
maximum allowable offsets (see comparison on page 3 of the proposal file). To be
consistent with the old Div 2, the Max expression in Table 6.4 should be replaced with
Min. For information, a table showing the values from Table AF-142.1 of the old Div 2,
the current Table 6.4, and the revised Table 6.4 after the proposed changes are made.

SECTION IX
QW-161.1 Revised to allow multiple specimen to be taken across the weld so that the
entire weld and heat affected zones are tested. Changed weldheat to weld and heat.
QW-196.2 Revised to delete the reference to QW-462.11 which no longer exists.
QW-264 Updated the variables for Laser Beam Welding (LBW) This also required
revisions to several paragraphs in QW-400.
QW-300.3 Revised the paragraph to say, each participating organization has a PQR(s)
to support the WPS or has an SWPS adopted in accordance with Article 5.
QW-409.2 Revised to say A change from globular, spray or pulsed spray transfer
welding to short circuiting transfer welding or vice versa.
QW-409.26 Revised the last sentence to say the increase shall be determined by the
methods of QW-409.1
QW-409.29 Revised to address the determination of heat input.
QW-420 Revised to clarify the requirement for unlisted base metals. Only base metals
listed in table QW/QB-422 with a minimum tensile strength values may be used for
procedure qualification except as modified by the following paragraph. The following
paragraph says, If an unlisted base metal has the same UNS number designation as a base
metal listed in table QW/QB-422, that base metal is also assigned that P-number or Pnumber plus Group Number. If the unlisted base metal is used to procedure qualification,
the minimum tensile values of the listed base metal shall apply for the tension test
specimens. Also added Material produced under an ASTM specification shall have the
same P-Number or P-Number plus Group-Number and minimum specified tensile value as
that of the corresponding ASME specification listed in table QW?QB-422. (e.g., SA-240
Type 340 is assigned P-No 8, Group 1; therefore, A240 Type 304 is P-No 8, Group 1.)
