2511

Approval Date: August 3, 2005 Code Cases will remain available for use until annulled by the applicable Standards Committee.

Case 2511 Requirements for Use of an Alternative Test Method Under PG-73.4.2.2 Section I Inquiry: Under what conditions may the requirements of PG-73.4.2.2(b), requiring owner and boiler manufacturer acceptance to use an alternative test method, be waived?

Reply: It is the opinion of the Committee that the requirements of PG-73.4.2.2(b), requiring owner and boiler manufacturer acceptance to use an alternative test method, may be waived, provided that the safety valve manufacturer and either the boiler manufacturer or boiler owner agree to invoke this Code Case. This Case number is to be included with the safety valve stamping information required by PG-110.

The Committees function is to establish rules of safety, relating only to pressure integrity, governing the construction of boilers, pressure vessels, transport tanks and nuclear components, and inservice inspection for pressure integrity of nuclear components and transport tanks, and to interpret these rules when questions arise regarding their intent. This Code does not address other safety issues relating to the construction of boilers, pressure vessels, transport tanks and nuclear components, and the inservice inspection of nuclear components and transport tanks. The user of the Code should refer to other pertinent codes, standards, laws, regulations or other relevant documents.
