Practical Process Engineering

Each overpressure protection device shall come with a Certification Mark Designator if it is a certified device. You should be familiar with these designators.

What do we mean by section I or VIII?This page in section XIII helps us understand the purpose and scope for each section of ASME.

With no doubt, this table is one of the best resources to help you which overpressure protection equipment fits your application. For example, rupture disk or pin devices are prohibited on section I vessels (power boilers) or safety valves already designed and tested per section I could be installed on a pressure vessel fabricated per section VIII, division I or II rules.

ASME Section XIII, published in 2021, is a new section dedicated to overpressure protection. ASME transferred most of info relevant to overpressure rules to this publication. But, some important parts are still in other codes. Here, I try to give you a summary of this new code. #ASME #Section_XIII #Overpressure_Rules
