6 BPV SC-SVR Agenda August 13, D Section VIII; Revision to the requirements of UG-126(c) Proposal D BPV VIII-3; Move Cautionary Elements From the Current Manufacturing Range Definition Conformity Assessment Revisions New BPVC Section on Overpressure Protection New Business The following items were opened since the last meeting of the BPV SC-SVR. Item SG Subject Page(s) T HG-402.3(a) Maximum Allowable Coefficient Background 264 Proposal New Items The following is a list of items requested at the meeting: Item SG Subject Page(s) Items of Interest Record #09-885: New BPV XII requirement for maintenance of PRVs by uncertified personnel August 9, 2011: Currently in Section XII industry, they are taking valves off of tanks, cleaning them, replacing parts, not modifying the spring that controls the pressure, but replacing different components for continuous maintenance. There are no rules for this and no rules for who should do this. They want some rules to be written, but they do not want to impose anything new and to keep it very open ended. This was put to a vote a while ago and SVR voted against it. BPV XII wants to go forward with something and the handout is very preliminary. They are looking for feedback from us, NBIC, or whoever is the most appropriate party to give them guidance on the rules, the latest proposal can be found on page 363 of the August 9, 2011 Meeting Minutes. This is going to remain as an item of interest at this committee. November 8, 2011: Mr. Pittel reported that this was discussed in Section XII. Monte plans to have something for review by mid-next year. February 7, 2012: Mr. Pittel reported that this is still being worked on. Mr. Ball said that the need in the train industry is that they have tanks which they sometimes want to take the valve off and clean it and put it back together. The proposal from BPV XII was that there could be a valve that could be designated that anyone could repair. May 15, 2012: Mr. Pittel reported that he talked with Mr. Ball on this. A joint task group will likely need to be created between BPV XII and SVR. Mr. Ball reported that first they were going to propose a type of design with limited adjustment and then mandate that the manufacturer provide information so that these adjustments could be made. August 14, 2012: Mr. Pittel noted that they are accepting the fact that there are issues with not having certificated individuals doing this maintenance; they are working with the NBIC to develop a resolution. Mr. Ball noted that when this was balloted to BPV XII they got a number 6

7 BPV SC-SVR Agenda August 13, 2013 of negatives and comments and were going to send it back to whoever was originally working on it. November 6, 2012: Mr. Pittel reported that there has been no progress on this. February 12, 2013: Mr. Pittel reported that this is being worked on and discussions are being held with the NBIC; they are trying to definite the problem and get consensus on how to approach this. August 13, 2013: Project Plan for new UD-3 Certification The publication of Record # one for the UD-3 certification has been put on administrative hold until the project plan for the new conformity assessment program has been approved. For a copy of the memo issued by Gerry Eisenberg, Director of Pressure Technology Codes and Standards see pages and for a copy of the latest draft of the project plan, see pages BPV IV Interpretation regarding Size of boiler connection and connecting piping between boiler and Safety or Safety Relief Valve (Record #13-871). For a copy of the record information, see page 274. On page 275 please find a picture of the aluminum Isothermic heat exchanger with undersized safety relief valve connection. The connections on the heat exchanger accept tubing with an inside diameter of approximately (one of which is shown in the attached photo). Also on pages is a copy of some typical European style wall hung copper fin tube boiler sales literature indicating improper placement of a relief valve. There are several manufacturer's selling similar products based upon this heat exchanger with such mounting. Mr. Bedeaux from the ASME BPV IV Committee will discuss Errata None Next Meeting See page 280 for the list of the future Boiler Code Meetings.

18 Record Record Level SC Approved Project Manager Curtis Sharpe Record Sub-Type Revision Pages Subject BPV I; PRV and PARV Capacity Certification and Nameplate Stamping Proposal Revise paragraph PG-67.5, PG-69.2, PG , PG-69.4, and PG-110, by clarifying requirements for power actuated relief valves, by adding information regarding capacity correction factors, and by clarifying marking requirements. Explanation This proposal standardizes application of the supercritical correction factor, the Napier correction factor, capacity certification methods and marking for both pressure relief valves and power-actuated pressure relieving valves. It also moves the supercritical correction factor to PG-67 Boiler. Summary of Changes PG-67.5 Revised and added supercritical reference from PG PG-68.7 Added table reference. PG-69.2 Added correction factor from PG PG Deleted correction factors and revised table numbers. PG-69.3 Deleted redundant certification method information. PG-69.4 Deleted formula reference. PG-110(e)(2) Added clarification for superheated steam service and revised reference from PG to PG-67.5 Table A-356 (17) Revised reference from PG to PG-67.5 Item History Sub-Tier Committees Involved BPV SC-SVR BPV SC-SVR SGT Latest Ballot Information Ballot: Ballot Level: Subcommittee Final Record Status :Disapproved Date Opened: 09/13/2012 Date Closed: 10/15/

19 Item : Section I PRV and PARV Capacity Certification SC-SVR History October 26, 2010 This item was opened between meetings by request of the Project Manager. November 30, 2010 Curtis Sharpe will be the PM and the task group will consist of Jeramy Dickson and David Scallan. February 1, 2011 Mr. Sharpe reported that there are changes to 67.5 that need to be reviewed. There are a few editorial changes that need to be made. A task group was formed and they plan to develop a proposal and ballot to the SG-T before the next meeting. April 28, 2011 Mr. Sharpe reported that the TG is working on a revised proposal. The scope of this item is broader than the title suggests. This item will be broken into three items, one of which is # The main changes will still be under # Mr. Dickson will flow chart the circular reference for this item. Record # will get a new proposal and another new item may be established for the economizer portion of this item. Mr. Tuttle noted that this item started because super critical steam capacities were added. Mr. Tuttle also noted that he would like to be a part of the working group for this item. August 9, Mr. Sharpe reported that they have a new proposal, which is shown on pages of the August 9, 2011 Meeting Minutes, for the committee to review. The PM will be uploading the proposal and will notify the Secretary when they have done so and this will be sent for ballot. Mr. Danzy noted that there is some urgency for this revision because of the way power actuated valves are affected by it. Alan West noted that the next edition of the code will not be until July 2013 so the power actuated portion may need to be issued as a Code Case/or Intent Interpretation. Mr. Danzy and Mr., Tuttle will create the intent interpretation request and separate out of the proposal the remaining changes which will not be included with the Intent Interpretation. Record # was opened for this. November 8, 2011 Mr. Hart reported that this item is on hold pending the outcome of the intent interpretation that is being processed in SG-D. February 7, 2012 Mr. Sharpe reported that this item is on hold pending intent interpretation # May 15, 2012 This item is loosely linked to # As soon as # is complete, this proposal will be modified accordingly and will be sent for ballot. August 14, 2012 Mr. Cox reported that there were minor changes made to the proposal by the subgroup. The proposal was uploaded to the record on CS Connect and the explanation 19

20 Item : Section I PRV and PARV Capacity Certification [Continued] and summary of changes were updated as well. This item is now ready for ballot to Subcommittee Safety Valve Requirements. November 6, 2012 This item will be sent for a recirculation ballot; the PM will post the necessary responses and then ballot will be issued before the next meeting. February 12, 2013 Mr. Sharpe reported that this item was balloted and was disapproved with one negative. Mr. Sharpe will be modifying the proposal accordingly and the proposal will be sent for a recirculation ballot. August 13,

33 Record Record Level SC Proposal Project Manager Frank Richter Record Sub-Type Revision Pages Subject Section VIII, Division 1; Correction of reference paragraphs for Ovepressure Protection in the Scope and Subsections. Proposal Revise paragraph U-1(f) to indicate the correct paragraph references for overpressure protection (UG-125 through UG-140 and Appendix 11). Revise all subsections to have similar sentence structure and reference paragraph U-1(f). By doing so, all subsections will be consistent and if the Overpressure Protection section is modified, only one paragraph reference, U-1(f), would need to be revised. Explanation Section U-1(f) referenced overpressure sections UG-125 through UG-137. Paragraph was revised to include all overpressure protection sections (UG-125 through UG-140). In addition, the following subsections were revised to make reference to U-1(f) rather than the individual subsections for overpressure protection. Subsections: UW-65, UB-60, UCS-125, UNF-125, UHA-65, UCI-125, UCL-60, UCD-125, UHT-125, ULW-125. UF-125, ULT-125 and UIG-125 were revised to change references as noted above as well as the sentence structure was changed to make them the same as UW-65, UB-60, UCS-125, UNF-125, UHA-65, UCI-125, UCL-60, UCD-125, UHT-125 and ULW-125. The terminology "Pressure Relief Device" was replaced with "Overpressure Protection" throughout the affected paragraphs commensurate with the incorporation of overpressure protection by system design in UG-140. Summary of Changes U-1(f): Revised paragraph references UW-65: Retitled and revised paragraph reference UF-125: Retitled, revised paragraph reference and incorporated common language UB-60: Retitled and revised paragraph reference UCS-125: Retitled and revised paragraph reference UNF-125: Retitled and revised paragraph reference UHA-65: Retitled and revised paragraph reference UCI-125: Retitled and revised paragraph reference UCL-60: Retiteld and revised paragraph reference UCD-125: Retitled and revised paragraph reference UHT-125: Retitled and revised paragraph reference ULW-125: Retitled and revised paragraph reference ULT-125: Retitled, revised paragraph reference and incorporated common language UIG-125: Retitled, revised paragraph reference and incorporated common language Item History Sub-Tier Committees Involved BPV SC-SVR SGT BPV SC-VIII SGGR 33

35 Item ; BPV VIII; Correct Overpressure Protection Subsections SC-SVR History November 8, 2011 This item was initiated at the meeting and was assigned to Subgroup Testing. Alton Cox will be the temporary PM until someone else is assigned. This item will affect sections UW-65, UF-125, UB-60, UCS-125, UNF-125, UHA-65, UCI-125, UCL-60, UCB-125, UHT-125, ULT-125. February 7, 2012 Mr. Cox reported that the PM needs to be changed to Mr. Dickson. Mr. Dickson then reported that this item was submitted to SC-SVR for review. There are 16 sections within BPV VIII and at the end of each there is a paragraph that refers you to the relevant UG Section. There have been additions to the UG paragraphs and these references have not been accordingly revised. The PM will be reviewing each of these and will determine what the appropriate references are. May 15, 2012 Mr. Cox reported that there is a proposal drafted for this item which is ready for ballot to the BPV SC-SVR SG-Testing. Mr. Dickson will contact the Secretary to initiate the ballot when the item is ready. August 14, 2012 Mr. Cox reported that this item is ready for ballot to SC-SVR, the secretary will initiate the ballot. November 6, 2012 The PM noted that this item received a comment on the latest ballot indicating that there is a typo in the last two items. He agrees with the commenter and will be revising the proposal accordingly and will send it for a recirculation ballot. February 12, 2013 Mr. Hart reported that this item was disapproved by SC-SVR. Mr. Nutter provided a handout to the committee which was reviewed at the meeting. Mr. DeMichael suggested that UG-125 be added to the record as background material. The Secretary reminded Mr. Nutter that responses need to be posted on C&S Connect before this item can move forward. Once this is done Mr. Nutter will send a note to the secretary and a new first consideration ballot will be issued. August 13,

36 2011a SECTION VIII DIVISION 1 (a) complied with shall be indicated on the Data Reports. (e) Pressure retaining covers and their attaching bolting and nuts shall be listed in the Remarks section of the Manufacturer s Data Report or on an attached Form U-4 when required. The minimum information shall include the material specification, material grade, size, and thread designation. (f) For sample forms and guidance in their preparation, see Appendix W. OVERPRESSURE PROTECTION UG-125 GENERAL (a) Other than unfired steam boilers, all pressure vessels within the scope of this Division, irrespective of size or pressure, shall be provided with overpressure protection in accordance with the requirements of UG-125 through UG-138 and/or overpressure protection by system design per UG-140. Unfired steam boilers shall be provided with overpressure protection in accordance with the requirements of UG-125 through UG-138. In addition, the following shall apply: (1) It is the user s or his/her designated agent s responsibility to identify all potential overpressure scenarios and the method of overpressure protection used to mitigate each scenario. (2) It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the required overpressure protection system is properly installed prior to initial operation. (3) If a pressure relief device(s) is to be installed, it is the responsibility of the user or his/her designated agent to size and select the pressure relief device(s) based on its intended service. Intended service considerations shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, the following: (a) normal operating and upset conditions (b) fluids (c) fluid phases (4) The overpressure protection system need not be supplied by the vessel Manufacturer. (5) Unless otherwise defined in this Division, the definitions relating to pressure relief devices in Section 2 of ASME PTC 25 shall apply. (b) An unfired steam boiler shall be equipped with pressure relief devices required by Section I insofar as they are applicable to the service of the particular installation. (c) Other than unfired steam boilers, when a pressure relief device is provided, it shall prevent the pressure from rising more than 10% or 3 psi (20 kpa), whichever is greater, above the maximum allowable working pressure except as permitted in (1) and (2) below and UG-127(d)(3). (See UG-134 for pressure settings.) (1) When multiple pressure relief devices are provided and set in accordance with UG-134(a), they shall prevent the pressure from rising more than 16% or 4 psi (30 kpa), whichever is greater, above the maximum allowable working pressure. (2) When a pressure vessel can be exposed to fire or other unexpected sources of external heat, the pressure relief device(s) shall be capable of preventing the pressure from rising more than 21% above the maximum allowable working pressure. Supplemental pressure relief devices shall be installed to protect against this source of excessive pressure if the pressure relief devices used to satisfy the capacity requirements of UG-125(c) and UG-125(c)(1) have insufficient capacity to provide the required protection. See Nonmandatory Appendix M, para. M-13 for cases where the metal temperature due to fire or other sources of external heat can cause vessel failure prior to reaching the MAWP. (3) Pressure relief devices, intended primarily for protection against exposure of a pressure vessel to fire or other unexpected sources of external heat installed on vessels having no permanent supply connection and used for storage at ambient temperatures of nonrefrigerated liquefied compressed gases, 42 are excluded from the requirements of (c)(1) and (c)(2) above, provided: (a) the pressure relief devices are capable of preventing the pressure from rising more than 20% above the maximum allowable working pressure of the vessels; (b) the set pressure marked on these devices shall not exceed the maximum allowable working pressure of the vessels; (c) the vessels have sufficient ullage to avoid a liquid full condition; (d) the maximum allowable working pressure of the vessels on which these pressure relief devices are installed is greater than the vapor pressure of the stored liquefied compressed gas at the maximum anticipated temperature 43 that the gas will reach under atmospheric conditions; and (e) pressure relief valves used to satisfy these provisions also comply with the requirements of UG-129(a)(5), UG-131(c)(2), and UG-134(d)(2). (d) Pressure relief devices shall be constructed, located, and installed so that they are readily accessible for testing, inspection, replacement, and repair and so that they cannot be readily rendered inoperative (see Appendix M). (e) Pressure relief valves or nonreclosing pressure relief devices 44 may be used to protect against overpressure. 42 For the purpose of these rules, gases are considered to be substances having a vapor pressure greater than 40 psia (300 kpa absolute) at 100 F (40 C). 43 Normally this temperature should not be less than 115 F (45 C). 44 A pressure relief valve is a pressure relief device which is designed to reclose and prevent the further flow of fluid after normal conditions have been restored. A nonreclosing pressure relief device is a pressure relief device designed to remain open after operation

56 Record Record Level SC Approved Project Manager Dean Miller Record Sub-Type Code Case Pages Subject Code Case to delay implementation of record # Proposal Adopt a new Code Case to postpone the requirement for rupture disk devices to carry the ASME Certification Mark and applicable Designator as described in KR-200(a) until January 1, 2015 Explanation The 2013 Edition of ASME Section VIII, Division 3 will incorporate item into the Code. This change requires all bursting disk devices used on Division 3 vessels to be marked with the ASME Certification Mark and applicable Designator. By default this requirement will become mandatory on January 1, This provides only six months for manufacturers to identify designs that are used on Division 3 vessels, submit application to the ASME Designated Organization and get production testing scheduled and performed. With some devices being manufactured by differing rupture disk and holder manufacturers this process will be even more time consuming. Since this item also includes the creation of new ASME Scopes of Authorization and there are many manufacturers of these devices it is very likely that many of the devices used today will not have completed the certification process by January 1, The objective of the Code Case is to delay the mandatory implementation of these requirements to allow manufacturers sufficient time to pursue the necessary device certifications and prevent users from being put in the position of having to knowingly violate Code rules by applying non-certified devices.

58 Case XXXX Implementation of ASME Certification Mark and Applicable Designator. Section VIII, Division 3 Inquiry: In the 2013 Edition of the ASME Section VIII, Division 3 paragraph KR-200(a) adds a new requirement for rupture disk devices to carry the ASME Certification Mark with the applicable UD or UD3 Designator. May rupture disk devices for use on Division 3 vessels without the ASME Certification Mark continue to be used beyond the six-month period after which revisions to the Code published in the 2013 Edition become mandatory? Reply: It is the opinion of the Committee that the implementation of the requirement for rupture disk devices to carry the ASME Certification Mark and applicable Designator as described in KR-200(a) may be postponed until January 1,

February 2, 2010 Mr. Doelling reported that they are trying to get the requirements in Section I to be the same as those in Section VIII. This item is currently at BPV VIII SG-GR. August 3, 2010 This item is still at BPV VIII SG-GR. November 30, 2010 This item is still at the BPV VIII SG-GR. Mr. Patel is still shown as the Project Manager. He has updated the proposal, approved by this committee, from the 2007 Edition of the Code to the 2010 Edition. As a courtesy Mr. Patel will forward this to BPV VIII SG-GR however, once an item has left SC-SVR we do not have the responsibilities to update the proposal to current Code. February 1, 2011 Mr. Patel reported that this item is with BPV VIII SG-GR and there is no progress since the last meeting. April 28, This item is at BPV VIII SG-GR and there has been no action to date. August 9, Mr. Patel reported that this item is currently within BPV VIII SG-GR. It was balloted in July and was approved. There were some negatives because the proposal said 2007 over the 2011 edition. Mr. Patel created a new proposal with the same revisions using the 2011 Edition. There was not much difference between the 2007 and 2011 wording except that para 136(d)(2)(d) was removed in the 2011 edition and there were objections to removing the word visible in subparagraph (e). Visible was already removed in Section I and we are trying to match the wording in Section VIII. Mr. Patel will give copies of the new proposal to Mr. DeMichael or Mr. Danzy to provide to the BPV VIII PM. It was also suggested that the word may be removed. November 8, 2011 Mr. Danzy reported that this item is currently in Section VIII. This item was discussed at the August meeting of Section VIII SG-GR and they felt that the wording was confusing. This item will be discussed at the meeting tomorrow, both Mr. West and Mr. Danzy plan to attend. February 7, 2012 Mr. Danzy reported that this item was approved by the SC-SVR and was referred to BPV VIII.

The Certified Individual authorized to provide oversight may also serve as the Certificate Holder s authorized representative responsible for signing data reports or certificates of conformance. 12 OUTLINE OF FEATURES TO BE INCLUDED IN THE WRITTEN DESCRIPTION OF THE QUALITY CONTROL SYSTEM The Manufacturer, Repair, and Relief Valve Recertification Organization shall have and maintain a quality control system that will establish that all Code requirements, including material, design, fabrication, examination (by the Manufacturer, Repair, and Relief Valve Recertification Organization), and for vessels and vessel parts, inspection (by the Inspector), will be met. Provided that Code requirements are suitably identified, the system may include provisions for satisfying any requirements by the Manufacturer, or User, which exceed minimum Code requirements and may include provisions for quality control of non-code work. In such systems, the Manufacturer of vessels or vessel parts may make changes in parts of the system that do not affect the Code requirements without securing acceptance by the Inspector. Before implementation, revisions to quality control systems of Manufacturers and Assemblers of pressure-relief valves shall have been found acceptable to the ASMEdesignated organization if such revisions affect Code requirements. The system that the Manufacturer uses to meet the requirements of this Section must be one suitable for his own circumstances. The necessary scope and detail of the system shall depend on the complexity of the work/" performed and on the size and complexity of the Manufacturer's organization.f ' A written description of the system the Manufacturer will use to produce a Code item shall be available for review. Depending upon the circumstances, the description may be brief or voluminous. The written description may contain information of a proprietary nature relating to the Manufacturers or processes. Therefore, the Code does not require any distribution of this information except for the Inspector, ASME Designee, or an ASME-designated organization as covered by I15(c) and I16(c). It is intended that information learned about the system in connection with the evaluation will be treated as confidential and that all loaned descriptions will be returned to the Manufacturer upon completion of the evaluation. The following is a guide to some of the features that should be covered in the written description of the Quality Control System and that is equally applicable to both shop and field work. 13 AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITY The authority and responsibility of those in charge of the Quality Control System shall be clearly established. Persons performing quality control functions shall have sufficient and well-defined responsibility, the authority, and the organizational freedom to identify quality control problems and initiate, recommend, and provide solutions. 14 ORGANIZATION An organization chart showing the relationships among management and engineering, purchasing, manufacturing, construction, inspection, and quality control is required to reflect the actual organization. The purpose of this chart is to identify and associate the various organizational groups with the particular function for which they are responsible. The Code does not intend to encroach on the Manufacturer's right to establish, and from time to time, to alter, whatever form of organization the Manufacturer considers appropriate for its Code work. 15 DRAWINGS, DESIGN CALCULATIONS, AND SPECIFICATION CONTROL The Manufacturer's or Assembler's Quality Control System shall provide procedures that will ensure that the latest applicable drawings, design calculations, specifications, and instructions required by the Code, as well as authorized changes, are used for manufacture, examination, inspection, and testing

80 Item : Section VIII Code Case regarding Multiple Marking of Certified Capacities for Pressure Relief Valves SC-SVR History October 27, 2010 This item was opened between meetings. November 30, 2010 This item was assigned to Dave Tuttle. Mr. Tuttle reported that he expects to have a proposal for review at the next meeting. February 1, 2011 Mr. DeMichael provided a progress report. The Subgroup went through each item of the Code Case and provided comments to the Project Manager for consideration. Any comments should be sent to Dave Tuttle for consideration. April 28, 2011 Mr. Tuttle reported that this Code Case is to allow marking of multiple capacities on the relief valves. His basis for his proposal comes from what was done on rupture discs for multiple capacities. Mr. Tuttle s proposal was reviewed by the subgroup and was revised by them. The proposal was shown to the members as a progress report and was discussed. This item will be revised by the subgroup at their next meeting and will then be brought to SC-SVR for ballot after their review. Jeramy Dickson noted that something in the code case needs to be added regarding what will be written on the UV-1 form. Mr. Tuttle requested that everyone with comments or concerns with this proposal send their suggestion to him for consideration of inclusion in the next revision of this case. August 9, Mr. Tuttle reported that at the last meeting, the item was held because Roger hadn t seen the proposal yet. He has reviewed it and the subgroup reaffirmed the proposal. Alan West noted two revisions to the code case request that he would like made before this item proceeds to ballot. At the last meeting, Mr. Dickson also wanted to know where the media was to be included on the stamp. Mr. Tuttle will revise the proposal and this item will then be sent for ballot. November 8, 2011 Mr. Tuttle reported that this ballot received several disapprovals. The negatives were discussed and Mr. Tuttle noted that he will make revisions to the proposal based on the negatives he received. He will be updating the record and will get it ready for another round of balloting. February 7, 2012 Mr. Ball reported that ballot #12-80 closed with three negatives. Mr. DeMichael plans to withdraw his negative and the other comments will require editorial revisions; this item will be recirculated when the proposal is revised. May 15, 2012 Mr. DeMichael reported that this item has been through a first consideration ballot to SC-SVR. It received negatives which have been addressed. The record on CS Connect needs to be cleaned up and will then be sent for a recirculation ballot. 80

81 Item : Section VIII Code Case regarding Multiple Marking of Certified Capacities for Pressure Relief Valves [Continued] August 14, 2012 Mr. Tuttle reported that this item is currently out for recirculation ballot and is scheduled to close on August 20, November 6, 2012 Mr. Tuttle reported that this item was referred to BPV VIII for action but does not currently appear on the SG-GR agenda. February 12, 2013 Mr. DeMichael reported for Mr. Tuttle that this item has been forwarded to BPV VIII but is not yet on their agenda; Mr. DeMichael will resolve this at the meeting tomorrow.

83 Record Record Level SC Proposal Project Manager John P. Glaspie Record Sub-Type Revision Pages Subject Section VIII, Division 1; UG-131(d)(2) and (e)(2) Capacity Certification Proposal Approve the Code changes shown in the proposal. Explanation The no longer utilized log-log plotting process in UG-131(d)(2)(b) is replaced with current industry method of flow factor capacity certification for liquid pressure relief valves. The format of slope certification in UG-131(d)(2)(a) is revised to mirror the flow factor incorporation. Redundant equations for rated capacity based on set and overpressure are also removed from UG-131(d)(2)(a). A code rule located in a note in UG-131(e)(2) is incorporated into body text of UG-131(e)(2). >> UG-131(e)(2) capacity formulas proposed by original inquirer will be handled under a separate item. Summary of Changes Revised paragraph UG-131(d)(2)(a). Revised paragraph UG-131(d)(2)(b). Moved sentence in UG-131(e)(2).

84 Item : Section VIII-1 UG-136(d)(2)(b) and UG-136(e)(2) Liquid Capacity Certification SC-SVR History November 8, 2010 This item was opened between meetings. November 30, 2010 PM was changed to Mr. Wang and the task group will consist of Greg Goodson and Sid Cammerisi. February 1, 2011 Mr. Cox reported that the PM needs to be changed to Brandon Nutter. Mr. Nutter then reported that this item is a change from what s required in the code to what s actually practiced in industry. The subgroup received a proposed revision to the code (Feb minutes pages ). Brandon noted that there are a few things that need to be worked on before the item moves forward. The task group will consist of J. Dickson, Z. Wang, J. Goodson and S. Cammerisi. There will be a ballot before then next meeting. April 28, 2011 Mr. Nutter provided a handout for the committee to review. Mr. Nutter reviewed the rationale of this revision to bring the code in line with current industry practices. The proposal provided was a revised draft created by the subgroup on Testing. The committee reviewed the proposal. Mr. Nutter noted that h would like to have Joe Ball review the proposal before it goes out for ballot to the entire committee. After Mr. Ball reviews the proposal, Mr. Nutter will send a request to the secretary to initiate the ballot before the next meeting. August 9, There have been some Task Group meetings and they have requested to bring this item back to the Task Group level. The Task Group plans to revise the scope of this item and do some further work on it before it is presented again to the Subcommittee. Mr. Nutter noted that, during discussions with several of the interested parties, it came to light that the coefficient of discharge method for all device certifications might be something they want to look at. Any members who would like to be a part of the TG should notify Mr. Nutter. November 8, 2011 There have been a lot of comments received on the latest proposal and has been brought back to the task group for further work. February 7, 2012 Mr. Nutter reported that this item began with an inquiry from Mr. Danzy. The proposal that he supplied incorporated several things including the log-log plotting method for liquid capacity certification. He proposed that we incorporate the industry standard flow factor certification method. He also proposed that we change the liquid capacity certification to a volumetric certification rather than the mass. The TG will be work on a proposal to correct the rules as they are now and then go back to the additional information on volumetric and coefficient of discharge methods on another item. They plan to have a proposal by the next meeting. May 15, 2012 There was a task group teleconference and they agreed to revise the scope of record # to address UG-136(d)(2)(b) only to eliminate the log-log and to instead 84

85 Item : Section VIII-1 UG-136(d)(2)(b) and UG-136(e)(2) Liquid Capacity Certification [Continued] describe the actual practice. Mr. Nutter will send a request to the Secretary to open new items for the inquiry as well as new items to address the issues that came up during the review of the proposal. August 14, 2012 Mr. Nutter reported that he has further revised the proposal, a copy of the revised proposal can be found on pages of the August 14, 2012 Meeting Minutes. Mr. Nutter reviewed the proposal with the committee and they agreed to open a new item at the subgroup level to review the other portion of Mr. Danzy s issues. Mr. Danzy added that this item can go forward for the flow factor portion. Mr. Danzy further noted that the statement being removed about failure to meet the requirements is in the wrong location and that it shouldn t be deleted all together. Mr. Nutter will revise the proposal to avoid the issue of the failure to meet the requirements. November 6, 2012 On the first ballot for this item (#12-204), there were a few comments made which were corrected in a recirculation ballot. During the recirculation ballot, Mr. Glaspie noted that there was a missing subscript which is a typographical error. MOTION was made to add subscript M to the S as shown in the proposal as shown on pages of the November 6, 2012 Meeting Minutes. Motion was seconded and APPROVED. The corrected proposal will be uploaded to CS Connect and this item will be referred to the Standards Committee. February 12, 2013 This item was approved by the subcommittee and some editorial changes were introduced; it is currently listed as standards committee proposal. August 13,

(b) For incompressible fluids, the capacities shall be plotted on log log paper against the differential (inlet minus discharge pressure) test pressure and a straight line drawn through these four points. If the four points do not establish a straight line, two additional devices shall be tested for each unsatisfactory point, with a limit of two unsatisfactory points. Any point that departs from the straight line by more than 5% should be considered an unsatisfactory point. The relieving capacity shall be determined from this line.

Each device of a given size shall be set at a different pressure. For each valve design intended to be restricted in lift, the Manufacturer shall have capacity tests conducted on three valves of different sizes. Each size valve shall be tested for capacity at the minimum lift for which certification is required, and at two intermediate lift points between the full rated lift and minimum lift certification points.

(3) The official relieving capacity of all sizes and pressures of a given design, for which K has been established under the provisions of (e)(2) above, that are manufactured subsequently shall not exceed the value calculated by the appropriate formula in (e)(2) above multiplied by the coefficient K (see Appendix 11). (4) The coefficient shall not be applied to devices whose beta ratio (ratio of valve throat to inlet diameter) lies outside the range of 0.15 to 0.75, unless tests have demonstrated that the individual coefficient of discharge K D for devices at the extreme ends of a larger range is within ±5% of the average coefficient K. For designs where the lift is used to determine the flow area, all devices shall have the same nominal lift-to-seat diameter ratio (L/D). (5) The coefficient shall not be applied to direct spring loaded valves with springs that do not meet the requirements of UG-136(a)(2). (6) For direct spring loaded valves the results may be extrapolated to valves with set pressures higher than the highest set pressure used in the capacity certification tests if the spring in the valve with the higher set pressure meets the requirements of UG-136(a)(2). (7) For direct spring loaded valves the results may be extrapolated to valves larger or smaller than the valves used in the capacity certification tests providing all dimensions of the flow path and all dimensions of the parts that can affect the overall thrust exercised by the medium on the moving parts are scaled with the corresponding dimensions of the valves used in the capacity certification testing. (f) Tests shall be conducted at a place where the testing facilities, methods, procedures, and person supervising the tests (Authorized Observer) meet the applicable requirements of ASME PTC 25. The tests shall be made under the supervision of and certified by an Authorized Observer. The testing facilities, methods, procedures, and qualifications of the Authorized Observer shall be subject to the acceptance of the ASME on recommendation of a representative from an ASME designated organization. Acceptance of the testing facility is subject to review within each 5 year period. (g) Capacity test data reports for each device model, type, and size, signed by the Manufacturer and the Authorized Observer witnessing the tests shall be submitted to the ASME designated organization for review and acceptance. 60 Where changes are made in the design, capacity certification tests shall be repeated. (h) For absolute pressures up to 1500 psia (10 MPa absolute), it is permissible to rate safety valves under 60 Pressure relief device capacities and flow resistances are published in Pressure Relief Device Certifications. This publication may be obtained from the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors, 1055 Crupper Avenue, Columbus, Ohio PG of Section I with capacity ratings at a flow pressure of 103% of the set pressure, for use on pressure vessels, without further test. In such instances, the capacity rating of the valve may be increased to allow for the flow pressure permitted in (c)(1) and (c)(3) above, namely, 110% of the set pressure, by the multiplier, (U.S. Customary Units) 1.10p p (SI Units) 1.10p p where p p set pressure, psig(kpa gage) Such valves shall be marked in accordance with UG-129. This multiplier shall not be used as a divisor to transform test ratings from a higher to a lower flow. For steam pressures above 1500 psig (10.3 MPa gage), the above multiplier is not applicable. For pressure relief valves with relieving pressures between 1500 psig (10.9 MPa gage) and 3200 psig (22.1 MPa gage), the capacity shall be determined by using the equation for steam and the correction factor for high pressure steam in (e)(2) above with the permitted absolute relieving pressure (for Customary units, 1.10p ; for SI units, 1.10p + 101) and the coefficient K for that valve design.

(b) The opening through all pipe, fittings, and nonreclosing pressure relief devices (if installed) between a transport tank and its pressure relief valve shall have at least the area of the pressure relief valve inlet. The characteristics of this upstream system shall be such that the pressure drop will not reduce the relieving capacity below that required or adversely affect the proper operation of the pressure relief valve. The opening in the transport tank wall shall be designed to provide unobstructed flow between the vessel and its pressure relief valve. (c) When two or more required pressure relief devices are placed on one connection, the inlet internal cross-sectional area of this connection shall be either sized to avoid restricted flow to the pressure relief devices or made at least equal to the combined inlet areas to the pressure relief devices connected to it. The flow characteristics of the upstream system shall satisfy the requirements of (b) above. (d) There shall be no intervening stop valves between the vessel and its pressure relief device or devices, or between the pressure relief device and the point of discharge. (e) The pressure relief devices on all transport tanks shall be so installed that their proper functioning will not be hindered by the nature of the transport tank s contents. 95
