Course Description:
This seminar is a basic introductory overview of the Section I Power Boiler Code (2023 Edition) and related requirements of ASME B31.1 Power Piping (2022 Edition). It focuses on the ASME certificate holder engaged in welded construction, and repair organizations working on ASME Code Power Boilers under the National Board Inspection Code (NBIC).
The course describes the formatting and structure of Section I, its scope, and its implementation in a Code Power Boiler fabrication program. The ASME B31.1 segment focuses on Boiler External Piping (BEP) construction details, including weld joint preparation and alignment, tack welds, required weld sizing, welding qualification requirements, final weld acceptance criteria, preheat recommendations, postweld heat treatment (PWHT) requirements and exemptions, NDE requirements, pressure testing, Section I Code stamping requirements, and Data Report preparation.
Who should attend?
The intended audience is for first-time users of Section I and ASME B31.1, as well as those with more extensive Code experience. It is most useful for the ASME certificate holder engaged in welded construction, and repair organizations working on ASME Code Power Boilers under the National Board Inspection Code (NBIC). Although design formulas are reviewed and discussed, experience in design calculations is not required.
