ASME BPVC 2010 Section VIII Division 1 Rules for Construction of Pressure Vessels Euro Pressure Vessels understand the need for high quality standards (ISO9001), our range of pressure vessels are manufactured to exacting specifications, and where applicable run in accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive. Our pressure vessels are constructed of stainless steel and other modern alloys. They are designed for dispensing, mixing or storing hazardous, corrosive, high purity or flammable products.

APPENDIX MM ALTERNATIVE MARKING AND STAMPING OF GRAPHITE PRESSURE VESSELS MM-1 (i) The impression may be washed to remove excess release agent GENERAL REQUIREMENTS (a) This procedure may be used to apply the Code Symbol to the graphite part (b) The required data as defined in UIG-116 shall be ⁄32 in (4 mm) high, minimum (c) The ASME Code symbol shall be used to make the impression in the cement MM-2 MM-3 APPLICATION OF CHARACTERS DIRECTLY TO GRAPHITE (a) Use a very thin template of a flexible material (e.g., stainless steel; flexible and easily cleaned) (b) Place and hold the template over a clean smooth surface (c) Hold the template securely and trowel over with approved cement to fill all of the template area (d) Carefully lift the template from the graphite part and examine the detail of the characters (e) If the characters are incorrect or damaged, wipe off the cement with a compatible solvent and reapply (f) If acceptable, cure the cement (e) As an alternative to (a) through (f) above, the graphite surface may also be marked with a scribe or a tool APPLICATION OF THE CODE SYMBOL (a) The graphite surface shall be clean and smooth (b) Apply a thin to medium coating of cement onto a small section of the Code part The mixed cement should have a thick consistency (toothpaste) (c) Apply heat to the cement so that it begins to form a skin (cement is still soft, not cured) (d) Apply a thinned coat of a release agent (such as Antisieze) to the tip of the Code stamp (e) Before the cement hardens, firmly press the Code stamp into the cement all the way to the bottom, and pull the stamp straight out of the cement (f) Do not disturb the impression (g) Cure the impression as required (h) When cured, confirm that the impression is legible NOTE: The preceding methods may be applied jointly to identify the graphite part and to transfer the Code Symbol stamp MM-4 ACCEPTANCE CRITERION The stamping must be legible and acceptable to the Authorized Inspector 736 Copyright ASME

Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) is “An International Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark,” widely recognized as a model for codes and standards worldwide Its development process remains open and transparent throughout, yielding “living documents” that have improved public safety and facilitated trade across global markets and jurisdictions for nearly a century ASME also provides BPVC users with integrated suites of related offerings: • referenced standards • training courses • related standards and guidelines • ASME press books and journals • conformity assessment programs • conferences and proceedings You gain unrivalled insight direct from the BPVC source, along with the professional quality and real-world solutions you have come to expect from ASME For additional information and
