This committee is now called the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee. The Committee's function is to establish rules of safety governing the design, fabrication, and inspec- tion during construction of boilers and pressure vessels, and to interpret these rules when questions arise regarding their intent. In formulating the rules, the Committee considers the needs of users, manufac. turers, and inspectors of pressure vessels. The abjec- tive of the rules is to afford reasonably certain protection of life and property and to provide a margin for deterioration in service so as to give a reasonably long safe period of usefulness, Advance- ‘ments in design and material and the evidence of experience have been recognized. The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee deals with the care and inspection of boilers and pressure vessels in service only to the extent of providing suggested rules of good practice as an aid to owners and their inspectors The rules established by the Committee are not to be interpreted as approving, recommending, or en- dorsing any proprietary or specific design or as limiting in any way the manufacturer's freedom to ‘choose any method of design or any form of construc- tion that conforms to the Code rules. The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee mects regularly 10 consider requests for interpretations and revisions of the rules, and to develop new rules as dictated by technological development. Inquiries must be addressed to the Secretary in writing and must give full particulars in order to receive consideration and 2 written interpretation. Proposed revisions to the Code resulting from inquiries will be presented to che Main Committee for appropriete action. The action of the Main Committee becomes effective only after confirmation by letter ballot of the Committee and approval by the Council ofthe Society. Proposed revisions to the Code approved by the Committee are submitted co the American National Standards Institute and published in Mechanical Enginezring to invite comments from all interested persons. After the allotted time for public review and final approval ty ASME Council, revisions are pub- lished semiannually in Adéerda to the Code Code Cases may be used in the construction of components 10 be stamped with the ASME Cos symbol beginning with the date of their approval by the ASME Counc! Code Editions may be used on or after the date of issue shown in the Edition, After Code revisions are approved by Couneil they may be used beginning with the date of issue shown on the Addenda, Ovners of nuclear power plants are cautioned thst Code Editions, Addenda, and Cases to be used in construction shall be acceptable to the regulatory and enforcement authorities having jurisdiction at the nuclear power plant site Each state and municipality in the United States and each province in the Dominion of Canada that adopts or accepts one or more Sections of the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code is invited to appoint a representative to act on the Conference Committes to the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committe. Since the members of the Conference Coramittes are in active contact with the administration and enforcement of the rules, the requirements for inspection in this Code correspond with those in effect in their respective Jurisdictions. The required qualifications far an Au- thorized Inspector oF an Authorized Nuclear Tnspes- tor under these rules may be obtained from the administrative authority of any state, municipality, or province which has adopted these rules. The Boiler and Pressare Vessel Committes in the formulation of its rules and in the esablishment of meximam design and operating pressures considers materials, construction, method of fabrication, inspee- tion, and safety devices, Permission may he granted t© regulatory bodics and organizations publishing safety standards to use a complete Section of the Code by reference. If usage of a Section, such as Section TX, involves exceptions, omissions, or changes in provi- sions, the intent of the Code might,not be ettained. Where a state or other regulatory body, in the printing of any Section of the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, makes additions or omissions, it is recommended that such changes be cleariy indicated. ‘The National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors is composed of chief inspectors of states ‘and municipalities in the United States and of prov- iness in the Dominion of Canada that have adopted the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, This Board, since its organization in 1919, has functioned to uniformly administer and enforce the rules of the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. The cooperation of that organi- zation with the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee has been extremely helpful. Tts function is clearly ecognized and, as a result, inquiries received which bear on the administration or application of the rules are referred directly to the National Board. Such handling of this type of inguiry not only simplifies the work of the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee, but action on the problem for the inguirer is thereby expedited. Where an inguiry is neither clearly an interpretation of the rules nor a problem of application of administration, it may be considered both by the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee and the Na- tional Board. should be pointed out chat the state or municipal lity where the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code has been made effective has definite jurisdiction over any particular installation. Inquiries dealing with problems Of local character should be directed to the proper authority of such state or municipality. Such authority may, if there is any guestion or doubt as to the proper Interpretation, refer the question to the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee The Specifications for base materials given in Section II, Parts A and B, are identical with or similar to those of The American Society for Testing and Materials, The Specifications for welding materials ven in Section II, Part C, are identical with or similar to those of the American Welding Society. Use Of the materials described in these Specifications ‘covered by the rules in on? oF more Sections of the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, All materials al- lowed by these various Sections and used for construc tion within the scope of their rules shall be furnished in accordance with ASME Material Specifications contained in Section 11 except whece otherwise pro- vided in Code Cases or in the applicable Section of the Code, Materials covered by these Specifications. are acceptable for use in items covered by the Code Sections only to the degree indicated in the applicable Section. Materials for Code use should preferably be ordered, produced, and documented on this basis; hhowever, material produced under an ASTM Speci fication may be used in lieu of the corresponding ASME Specification, provided thet the requirements of the ASTM Specification are identical (excluding editorial differences) or more stringent than the ASME Specification for the Grade, Class, or Type produced end provided that the material is confirmed as complying with the ASTM Specification. Material produced to an ASTM specification with requirements diferent from the requirements of the corresponding ASME Specification may also be used in accordance with the above, provided the material manufacturer or vessel manufacturer certifes with evidence acceptable to the Authorized Inspector or Authorized Nuclear Inspector that the corresponding ASME Specification requirements have been met. Material produced to an ASME or ASTM Material Speciication is not limited 88 to country of origin STATEMENT OF POLICY ON THE USE OF CODE SYMBOLS AND CODE AUTHORIZATION IN ADVERTISING ASME has established procedures to authorize ‘qualified organizations to perform various activities in accordance with the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. It is the aim of the Society to provide recognition of organizations so authorized ‘An organization holding authorization to perform various activities in accordance with the requirements of the Code may state this capability in its advertising liteeature. Organizations that are authorized to use Code Symbols for marking items or constructions which hhave been constructed and inspected in compliance with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code are issued Certificates of Authorization. It is the aim of the Society to maintain the standing of the Code Symbols for the benefit of the users, the enforcement Jurisdictions, and the holders of the symbols who comply with all requirements. Based on these objectives, the following policy as been established on the usage in advertising of facsimiles of the symbol, Cerificate: of Authoriza- tion, and reference to Cede constcuction. The Ameri can Society of Mechanical Engineers does not “ap- prove,” “cet rate,” or “endorse” any item, construction, of activity and there shall be no state- ‘ments or implications which might so indicate. An organization holding a Code Symbol and/or « Cer- ificste of Authorization may state in advertising literature that items, constructions, or activities “are built (produced or performed) or activities conducted in accordance with the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,” or “meet the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.” The ASME Symbol shall be used only for stamping and nameplates as specifically provided in the Code. However, facsimiles may be used for the purpose of fostering the use of such construction, Such usage mey be by an association or a society, or by a holder of a Code Symbcl wio may also use the facsimile in advertising to show that clearly specified items will carry the symbol. General usage is permitted only when all of a manufaccucer's items are constructed under the Rules. STATEMENT OF POLICY ON THE USE OF ASME MARKING TO IDENTIFY MANUFACTURED ITEMS ‘The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code pro- vides rules for the construction of boilers, pressure vessels, and nuclear components. This includes re- quirements for materials, design, fabrication, examina- tion, inspection, and stamping, Ttems constructed in accordance with all of the applicable rales of the Code are identified with the official Code Symbol Stamp described in the governing Section of the Code. Markings such as "ASME," “ASME Standard,” ot any other marking including "ASME or the various Code Symbols shall not be used en any item which is not constructed in accordance with all of the applica ble requirements of the Code. Items shall not be deseribed on ASME Dats Report Forms nor on similar forms referring to ASME which tend to imply that all Code requirements have been met when in fact they have not been. Data Report Forms covering items not fully complying with ASME Fequirements should not refer to ASME or they should clearly identify all exceptions to the ASME requirements, PERSONNEL ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee Subcommittees, Subgroups, and Working Groups Asof July 1, 1979 MAIN COMMITTEE P.M. ster, Charman WoL Harding Vice Chairman G.M.

GENERAL Section IIT consists of Division 1 and Division 2. Both Divisions are broken down into Subsections which are designated by espital letters preceded by the letter "N” for Division 1 and by the leer “C* for Divilon 2, The following nine books make up the two Divisions. Subsection NCA — General Requirements for Division | snd Division 2 Division 1 ‘Subsection NB — Class | Components Subsestion NC —Class 2 Components ‘Subsection ND— Chas 3 Components ‘Subsection NE — Class MC Components ‘Subsection NF — Component Supports ‘Subsestion NG— Core Support Structures ‘Appendices Division2—Code for Concrete Reactor Vessels and Containments ‘The Division 2 book includes Subsection CB — Concrete Reactor Vessels. Subsection CC — Concrete Containments, and Division 2 Appendices 2. SUBSECTIONS Subsections are divided into Articles, Subartisles, pera- graphs, and, where necessary, subparagraphs and subsub- paragraphs. 3. ARTICLES ‘Articles ure designated by the applicable letters indicated above for the Subsections followed by Arabic numbers, such ‘8 NB-1000 or CB-2000, Where possible, Articles dealing ‘with the same topics are given the same number in each ‘Subsection in accordance withthe following general scheme: Aricle Number Tite 1000 Introduction of Scope: 2000 ‘Material 3000 Design 4000 Fabrication and Installation 5000 Exeminstion 6000 Testing 7000 ‘Overpressure Protection 8000 ‘Nameplates, Stamping, and Reports ‘The numbering of Articles and the material contained in wal the Articlss may not, however, be consecutive. Due to the fact that the complete outline may cover phases not applicable to 2 particular Subsection or Article, the nules lave been prepared with some gaps in the numbering. 4. SURARTICLES Subarticles are numbered in units of 100, such as NB-1100 or CB-1200. 5. SUBSUBARTICLES Subsubarticls are numbered in unis of 10, suck as NB- 2130, and generally have no text. When a number such as NB-1110 is followed by text, itis considered a paragraph. 5. PARAGRAPHS Paragraphs are numbered in units of 1, such as NB-2151 or CB-2132, 7, SUBPARAGRAPHS Subparagraphs. when they are major subdivisiors of a paragraph, sre dasignated by adding a decimal followed by one or more digits to the paragraph number, such as NB- T1111 or CB-1111.2, When they are minor subdivisiens of a paragraph, subparagraphs may be designated by lowercase letters in pareatheses, such as NB-III Ifa) or CB-1111() 8, SUBSUBPARAGRAPHS Subsubparagraphs are designated by adding lowercase Jeters in parentheses to the major subparagraph numbers, such as NB-IIILI(@) or CB-I111.1@), When further subdivisions of minor subparagraphs are necessary, subsub- paragraphs are designated by adding Arabic numerals in parentheses to the subparagraph designation, such as NB- TIN (a\X1) o CB-111@}C). 9.

(b) They do. not cover deterioration which may cocur in service as 4 result of corrosion, erosion, radiation effects, or instability of the materials (NC. 1130) (©) Nuclear power plant component supports for which rules are specified in this Subsection are those rnetal elements which transmit loads between nuclear power plan: components (NCA-1210) and the build- ing structure. In some cases there may be intervening elements in the component support load path which are not constructed to the rules ofthis Section, such as Giese! engines, electric motors, valve operators, coo! ers, and access structures. The Owner shall be responsible for assuring the adequacy of the building structure and all intervening elements in the compo- rent support load path in accordance with the requirements of NCA-3240. (d) Building structure 's defined as the structure whose purpose is to support, house, and_proiect nuclear safety class systems of ccmapenents, The rules for the construction of building structures are outside the scape ofthis Section. (e) As used in this Subsection, the term component supports shall encompass structural elements whose functions include carrying the weight of components or providing them with structural stability. The term includes angers which are generally considered to be those elements which carry the weight from above with the supporting members being mainly in tension. Likewise, the term includes supports which on osca- sion indicates those elements which carry the weight from below with the supporting members being mainly in compression. The term also includes spring loaded sway braces, snubbers, and othier devices used to provide structural stability during any of the specified operating conditions, However, the term component supports docs not encompass a structural element the sole function of which is to carry dynamic loads caused by a postulated loss of pressure retaining integrity, NE-LU1 Owner's Responsibility for Component Supports In addition to the requirements of NCA-3240, the Owner shall also be responsible for assuring that loads which are transmitted through intervening elements (NF-1110(0)] in the component support load path ace adequately transferred without loss of the component pressure boundary integrity for the Design or Service Loadings specified in the Design Specification govern- ing the construction of the component. As a mini= mum, the component Desiga Specification (NCA- 3250) shall include the following information which the Owner shall provide to the designer of the intervening elements: () transmitted loads including dynamic loadings (®) structural interaction of intervening element with the component and component supports (6) support load path material requirements (@) temperature effects. and other environmental effects (2) design, fabrication, examination, testing, and installation requirements documentation requirements (@) connection requirements of intervening element touilding structure Fig. NE-1131-1 SECTION Ill, DIVISION 1 — SUBSECTION NF A uriscctonal Boundary t ° (a) Pressure retaining component (A) (b) Pressure retaining component (A) connected 19 3 ronintagrel eupport connected to @ nenintegral support {8}; no jurisdictional boundery (0); connection in accordance with NF. \\ Boundary Boundary S (6) Intogral attachment (8) connacted to (6) Integral sttachmont (8) connected to ‘an integral support (Cl; connection in 8 nonintegral support (0); connection accordance with NF jn accordance wth NF ¢ riaietionsl sturscictonal \ 1 Bounasry Bound E 1 (e) Integral support (C) connected to {9 Nonintogral euppert (0) connected to buliding structure (Eh; conneetion in building structure (E); connection in accordance with NE accordance with NF FIG.

NF-1131.6 Portion F. This portion represents an intervening clement in the component support load path which is not constructed to this Section (NCA 3240). Intervening elements typically include diesel engines, electric motors, coolers, valve operators, and access structures, The component support may bear on or may be welded, holted, pinned, or clamped to the intervening clement. Intervening elements arc iMustrated in Fig. NF-1131-I sketches (2), (), @, @, and (k). NF-1132 Integral and Nonintegral Supports in Relation to Jurisdictional Boundaries A support may be defined as integral or nonintegral depending on the specific conditioas existing at a jurisdictional boundary. A support may be nonintegral inone region and integral in another NF-1132.1 Nonintegral Support Connected to Pressure Retaining Component. ‘The jurisdictional boundary between s pressure retaining component and nonintegral support shall be the contact surface between the component and the support [Fig. NF- 1131-1 skeieh ()). NF-1132.2 Integral Support Connected to Inte- eral Attachment. The jurisdictional boundary between an integral attachment and an integral support shall be defined in the Design Specifications in accordance with NCA-3254. If the integral attachment is con- NFA11322.NF.A211 nected to the pressure retaining component by means of a weld, the jurisdictional boundary shall not intersect the attachment weld [Fig. NF-1131-1 sketch Ol ‘NF-1132.3Nonintegral Support Connected to In- tegral Attachment, The jurisdictional boundary be- tween an intzgral attachment and a noniaiegral Support shall be the contact surface between the attachment and support [Fig. NF-1131-1 sketch (¢)]. NF-1132.4 Integral Support Connected to Build- ing Structure. The jurisdictional boundary between & building structure and an integral support shall be the surface of the building structure. If the connection to the building structure is by means of a weld, the weld shall fall within the jurisdiction of Subsection NF [Fig, NF-1131-1 sketch (2). ‘NF-1132.8 Nonintegral Support Connected to Building Structure, The jurisdictional boundary be tween a building structure and a nonintegral support shall be the surface of the building structure. If the connection to the building structure is by means of mechenivally attaching the support to the building structure, the mechanical attachment shall fall within the jurisdiction of Subsection NF [Fig. NF-1131-1 sketch (9) NF-1132,6 Pressure Retaining Component Beur- ing Directly Upon the Building Structure. The juris- dictional boundary between a pressure retaining com- ponent resting directly upon the building structure is the surface of the building structure [Fig. NF-1131-1 sketch (D]. This boundary definition applies for components encased in the building structure, NF-1132,7 Integral Attachment Bearing Directly ‘Upon Building Structure, The jurisdictional boundary between an integral attachment bearing directly upon the building structure is the surface of the building structure [Fig. NF-1131-1 sketch (m)]. NF-1133 Intervening Elements in Relation to Jurisdictional Boundaries When an intervening element in the component support load path is present, it may lie between the Pressure retaining component and the component Supports, between two component supports, or be- tween the component support and the building struc- ture.

NF.3200-NF-3213,7 ‘NF-3200 DESIGN OF CLASS 1 COMPONENT SUPPORTS NF-3210 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS NE-3211 Requirements for Acceptability ‘The requirements for accepiability of Class 1 component support design are given in (a) through (e) below (a) The desiga shall be such chat the stress intensity values or the stress values (whichever is applicable) will not exceed the limits given in this Subarticle Table NF-3132(0}1 indicates the rules and limits 10 tbe used for the various classes and types of design procedures.

(c) The design details shall conform to the rules of this Subarticle o¢ to those referred to erein, (d) For configurations where compressive stresses, ‘occu, in addition to the requirements of (a), (b), and (©) above, the critical buckling stress shall be taken. into account, (e) Protection against nonductile fracture shall be provided. An acceptable procedure for nonductile failure prevention is given in Appendix G. NF-3212 Basis for Determining Stresses in Design by Analysis (a) The theory of failure used in the rules of this Subsection for combining stresses for the design of ‘Class 1 plate and shell type supports including such ‘component standard type supports that fall into that category is the maximum shear stress theory. The maximum shear stress at a point is equal to one-half tite difference between the algebraically largest and the, algebraically smallest of the three principal stresses at the point (b) The theory of failure used in the rules of NF- 3230 and Appendix XVII for the design of Class 1 linear supports is the maximum stress theory. In the ‘moximum stress theory, the controlling stress is the ‘maximum principle stress. NF-3213 Terms Relating to Design by Anzlysis (a) Terms used in the Design of Plate and Shell ‘Type Supports by Stress Analysis are defined in NF- 3213.1 through NF-3213.13 below. 40 SECTION III, DIVISION 1 — SUBSECTION NF (b) Terms wsed in the design of linear types of supports by stress analysis are defined in Appendix XVI. NF3213.1 Stress Intensity.? Stress intensity is the equivalent intensity of combined stress, or, in short, the siress intemsty is defined as twice the maximum shear stress, In other words, the stress intensity is the difference between the algebraically largest principal stress and the algebraically smallest principal stress at a given point. Tensile stresses are Considered positive, and compressive stresses are considered negative NF-3213.2 Gross Structural Discontinuity. Gross structural discontinuity is a geometric or material discontinuity which affects the stress or strain distri- bution though the entire thickness of the member. Gross discontinuity type stresses are those portions of he aciual stress distributions that produce net bend- ing and membrane force resultants when integrated through the thickness. Examples of gross structural discontinuities are junctions between parts of diferent diameters or thicknesses and flange-to-shell junction NE-3213.3 Normal stress, Normal stress is the component of stress normal to the plane of reference. This is also referred to as direct stress. Usually the distribution of normal stress is not uniform through the thickness of # part, so this stress is considered 10 bemade up in turn of two components, one of which is ‘uniformly distributed and equal to the average value of stress across the thickness under consideration, and the other of which varies from this average value with the location across the thickness. NF-3213.4 Shear Stress, Shear stress is the com- ponent of stress tangent to the plane of reference NF3213.5 Membrane Stress. Membrane stress is the component of normal stress which is uniformly distributed and equal to the average of stress across the thickness of the section under consideration. NF-3213.6 Bending Stress. Bending stress is the variable component of normal stress described in NF- 3213.3. The variasion may or may not be linear across the thickness, NF-3213.7. Primary Stress, Primary stress is any normal stress or shear stress developed by an imposed loading which is necessary to satisly che laws of equilibrium of extemal and internal forces and "This definition of ates intensity isnot relate to the defition of steos ier applied is tae eld of fracture mechanics, NF 3000 — DESIGN moments. The basic characteristic of a primary siress ip that it is not self-limiting. Primary stresses which considerably exceed the yield strength will result in failure or, at least, in gross distortion. A thermal stress is not classified as o primary siress. A general primary membrane stress is one which is so distributed in the structure thst no redistribution of load occurs as a result of yielding. An example of primary stress is general membrane stress in a circular cylindrical shell due to distributed live loads. NF-3213.8 Secondary Stress. Secondary stress is 2 normal stress or a shear stress developed by the constraint of adjacent material or by selfconstraint of the structure, The basic characteristic of a secondary stress is that it is self-limiting. Local yielding and minor distortions can satisfy the conditions which cause the stress to oceur, and failure from one application of the stress is not to be expected. An example of secondary stress is bending stress ata gross structural discontinuity. NF-3213.9 ‘Total Stress. Total stress is the sum of the primary and secondary stress contributions. Rec- ‘ognition of each of the individual contributions is essential to establishment of appropriate stress limita- tions NF-3213.10 Free End Displacement, Free end displacement consists of the relative motions that would occur between an attachment and connecied siructure or equipment if the two members were separated. Examples of such motions are those that ‘Would occur because of relative thermal expansion of piping, equipment, and equipment supports or because of zotatioas imposed upon the equipment by sources cother than the piping NF-3213.11 Expansion Stresses, Expansion stresses are those stresses resulting from restraint of free end displacement of the piping system NF-3213.12 Limit Analysis — Collapse Load. ‘The methods of limit analysis are used to compute the maximum load or combination of loads a structure made of ideally plastic (noastrain-hardening) material can carry. The deformations of an ideally plastic structure inerease without bound at this load, which is termed the collapse load. Among the methods used ia limit analysis is a technique which assumes elastic, perfectly plastic, material behavior and @ constant level of moment or force in those redundaat structural lements in which membrane yielé, plastic hinge, critical buckling lad hes been reached. Any increase in load must be accompanied by = stable primary structure until a failure mechanism defined by the 41 NF3213,7-81 a5 Jower bound theorem of limit analysis is reached in the primary structure, NF.3213.13 Collapse Load — Lowor Bound. If, for a given load, any system of stresses can be found which everywhere satisfies equilibrium and nowhere exceeds the material yield strength, the load is at or below the collapse load. This is the lower bound theorem of limit analys's which permits calculations of lower bound to the collapse load NF3214 Stress Analysis A detailed stress analysis of all major structural ‘components stall be prepared in sufficient detail to show that each of the stress limitations of NF-3220 is satisfied when the component support is subjected to the loadings of NF-3110. NF-3215 Derivation of Stress Intensities One requirement for the acceptability of a design (NF-3210) is thatthe calculated stress intensities shall ot exceed specified allowable limits. These limits differ depending on the stress category (primary, secondary, ets.) from which the stress intensity is derived, This paragraph describes the procedure for the calculation of the stress intensities which are subject to the specified limits. The steps in the procedure are stipulated in (a) through (¢) below. (a) At the point on the component which is being investigated, choote an orthogonal set of coordinates, such a5 tangential, longitudinal, and redial, and ‘designate them by the subscripis 1, land r. The stress components in these directions are then designated «7, ‘op and or for dicect stresses and ry Tiny and Ty for shear stresses. (6) Calculate the stress components for each type of loading to which the part will be subjected and assign cach set of stress yalues to one or @ group of the following categories? (2) general primary membrane siress Py (NF- 3213.5 and NF-3213.7) (2) primary bending stress P, (NF-3213.6 and NF32137) G3) expansion stress P,(NF-2213.11) (4) secondary stress Q (NF-3213.8) (c) For each category, calculate the algebrais sum of the values of o which result from the different types of loadings and similarly for the other five stress components. Certain combinations of the categories ‘must also be considered. See Table NF-3207-1 and Note (1) of Fig, NF-3221+ NP-3215-NP-a224 (d) Translate the stress components for the and. r directions into principal stresses 7, 0, and oy (e) Calculate the stress differences 52, Sia, and Ss, from the relations: oo o2 = On The stress intensity Sis the largest absolute value of Suse Soa. and Soy NOTE: Membrane stress intemiy ie derived from the stows components averaged cross the thickness of the sctien.
