Description / Abstract:
FOREWORD
This publication includes all of the written replies issued
between the indicated dates by the Secretarial Staff, speaking for
the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee, to inquiries
concerning interpretations of technical aspects of the Boiler and
Pressure Vessel Code. For the convenience of the reader, these are
presented chronologically in groupings identified by the Code
Sections to which they apply.
These replies are taken verbatim from the original letters
except for some typographical corrections and some minor editorial
corrections made for the purpose of improved clarity. In some few
instances, a review of the interpretation revealed a need for
corrections of a technical nature: in these cases a corrected
interpretation follows immediately after the original reply. Some
few interpretations issued early in 1977 are identical in meaning
with the original reply but are not verbatim because those replies
were not in the current question and reply format.
