1 page 1 ASME BPVc.m.l.ND An intermediate postweld heat treatment for this purpose is defined as a postweld heat treatment performed on a weld within a temperature range not lower than the minimum holding temperature range to which the weld shall be subjected during the final postweld heat treatment. 57 (a) Spot radiographing of a welded joint is recognized as an effective inspection tool. The spot radiography rules are also considered to be an aid to quality control. Spot radiographs made directly after a welder or an operator has completed a unit of weld proves that the work is or is not being done in accordance with a satisfactory procedure. If the work is unsatisfactory, corrective steps can then be taken to improve the welding in the subsequent units, which unquestionably will improve the weld quality. (b) Spot radiography in accordance with these rules will not insure a fabrication product of predetermined quality level throughout. It must be realized that an accepted vessel or tank under these spot radiography rules may still contain defects that might be disclosed on further examination. If all radiographically disclosed unacceptable weld defects are required to be eliminated from a vessel or tank, then 100% radiography shall be employed. 58 SNT-TC-1A is a Recommended Practice for Nondestructive Testing Personnel Qualification and Certification published by the American Society for Nondestructive Testing, 1711 Arlingate Lane, P.O. Box 28518, Columbus, OH Personnel qualified by examination and certified to previous editions ofsnt-tc-1a are considered to be qualified to the edition referenced in Table NCA when the recertification is based on continuing satisfactory performance. All reexaminations and new examinations shall be in accordance with the edition referenced in Table NCA Employer, as used in this Article, shall include: N Certificate Holders; Quality System Certificate Holders; and Material Organizations that are qualified in accordance with NCA-3842; and organizations that provide subcontracted nondestructive examination services to organizations described above. 61 These tests may be made with the item being tested partially filled with liquid, if desired. 62 Temperature fluctuations within the piping system may affect the pressure. Precautions must be taken to ensure that the test is not biased by temperature effects. 63 Wherever the word system appears in this Article, it refers to the component or group of components for which overpressure protection is provided as described in the Overpressure Protection Report. 64,65,67-73 delete, mark "not 64 A pressure relief device is designed to open to prevent a rise of internal fluid pressure greater than a specified value, resulting from exposure to pressure transient conditions. It may also be designed to prevent excessive internal vacuum. It may be a pressure relief valve, a nonreclosing pressure relief device, or a vacuum relief valve. 65 A pressure relief valve is a pressure relief device that is designed to reclose and prevent the further flow of fluid after normal conditions have been restored. 66 A vacuum relief valve is a pressure relief device designed to admit fluid to prevent an excessive internal vacuum; it is designed to reclose and prevent further flow of fluid after normal conditions have been restored. 67 A nonrec/osing pressure relief device is a pressure relief device designed to remain open after operation. 68 A safety valve is a pressure relief valve actuated by inlet static pressure and characterized by rapid opening or pop action. 69 A safety relief valve is a pressure relief valve characterized by rapid opening or pop action, or by opening generally proportional to the increase in pressure over the opening pressure. 70 A relief valve is a pressure relief valve actuated by inlet static pressure and having a gradual lift generally proportional to the increase in pressure over the opening pressure. 71 A pilot operated pressure relief valve is a pressure relief valve in which the majo r relieving device is combined with and controlled by a self-actuated auxiliary pressure relief valve. 72 A power actuated pressure relief valve is a pressure relief valve in which the major relieving device is combined with and controlled by a device requiring an external source of energy. 73 A rupture disk device is a nonreclosing pressure relief device actuated by inlet static pressure and designed to function by the bursting of a pressure containing disk. 286 Copyright 2015 by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
