DESCRIPTION
Non-destructive Testing
Pressure Vessels - Division I
Welding and Brazing Qualifications
*Section IX sets the requirements for writing a Welding Procedure Specification (WPS), testing the
WPS through a Procedure Qualification Record and testing the weld through a Welder Performance
Qualification.All of the ASME Codes refer to this document

Power Piping
*Covers boiler external piping for steam or vapor above 15 psig and high
temperature water exceeding 160 psig and/or temperatures exceeding 250 F. Full penetration is
required for all groove welds. Visual Inspection is required for all welds. Radiographic Testing or
Ultrasonic Testing is required if the temperature exceeds 750 F or if the temperatures are between
350F and 750 F with pressures over 1025 psig.

Fuel Gas Piping

*Applies to piping systems for fuel gases. These gases include manufactured gas, liquefied
petroleum gas, natural gas, and mixtures above the upper combustible limits. The piping systems
that are covered by this code maybe be in or between buildings from the meter set to the first
pressure containment valve.
Process Piping
*This code covers piping in chemical plants. The quality of the weld is set by the owner
determination of the safety aspects of the fluid being contained.
Pipeline Transportation Systems for Liquid Hydrocarbons and Other Liquids *This code
covers piping for liquid petroleum products such as crude oil and gasoline.
Refrigeration Piping and Heat Exchanger Components *This
code applies to refrigerant and brine piping systems. It does not include self contained or unit
refrigeration systems that are subject to UL specifications.
Gas Transmission and Distribution Piping Systems *Applies
to regulating stations, gas compressor stations, gas mains and service lines up to the end users
meter set.
