ASME III Division 1 NC-Service Level requirement

07/30/2008 4:53 AM

Hi, everyone.

I have a question for the Service Level which is mentioned in ASEM III DIV 1-NC.

As per NC-3658.3, the service level is classified Level A, B, C and D according to the Pressure. Followings are questions.

1.What is "rated pressure"?

2.What is "pressure"? , operating or design?

3.Any other limitations are avaialbe to define the Service Level in ASME?

Your response will be highly apprecaited.

Sincerely YTAhn HHI

This seems regarding the "boilers" or "pressurized vessels" since the pressure is on sciene. If so then;

1- Rated pressure means the pressure that the boiler or vessel will operate continually under.

2-Operating pressure is same as rated pressure. Design pressure refers to the pressure that this vessel can stand for.

3-I'm sure there are more regulations. Say regarding the materials used during construction, welding methods, isolation materials, ...etc.

Again, these are all for that if the ASME III Div1 is regarding "boilers".

In ASME Section III, the service level referes to different loading conditions. These loads include pressure, but also dead weight, thermal stresses, piping loads, seismic events, missile impact, loss-of-coolant accident loads, pipe break loads, water hammer, vibration, submergence, etc... Service Level A is "Normal", referring to all the conditions that are expected to occur in the normal operation of the power plant. The "rated pressure" of the unit is the pressure that unit is designed to that is greater than all the possible "operating pressures". Service Level B, C and D are "Upset", "Faulted", and "Emergency" conditions that are events and accidents that are not in the operating plan. These are classified in the nuclear power plant's licensing documents according to increasing severity and decreasing risk. The npp has to specify these conditions to all equipment suppliers - it is not up to the supplier.

Dear friend,

I have got the part of Code titled main steam safety valves only. Subsection NC-3658.3 of the Code is concerning bending and torsional moments of the pipes that i have no details.

I think you'll have to buy this part of Code from asme.org directly. I must say that i can not help more, excuse me.

Best regards

Thanks for your kindly response.

As i understood, Service level limits are specified in NCA-2142.4. However, engineer shall understand supplementary limits in ASME III according to the cases.

Thanks,

Sincerely YT Ahn

I agree.

Interpreting NCA-2142-x may be imaginary without NC-3658.
