Case 2053For Materials in InventorySections I, IV, and VIII, Divisions 1 and 2

Inquiry: May material in inventory which meets therequirements of a Section II material specification thatwas superseded and meets the requirements of thecurrent specification except for the more restrictivechemical compositional requirements of the currentSection II specification, be used in Code construction?

Reply: It is the opinion of the Committee that materialin inventory which meets the requirements of a SectionII material specification that was superseded, and meetsthe requirements of the current specification except for

the more restrictive chemical composition requirementsof the current Section II specification, may be used inCode construction provided the following requirementsare met.

(a) There is no prohibition on the use of the specifi-cation that was superseded in the rules of the Code,providing that specification has been accepted by, andstress values published in the specific Code Sectionfor which it is to be used.

(b) The material shall have been melted when thechemical requirements of an ASME approved materialspecification that has been superseded were in effect.

(c) This Case number shall be included with therequired specification marking of the material and in-cluded with the Manufacturer’s Data Report.
