LambinJ (Comment) Date Posted: 08/26/16 Please see my comments via "track changes". Many are due to the fact that the 2017 Edition is adding pyrotechnic valves and I'm not sure how this appendix should address them. Many are also notes from committee meetings from previous years where we discussed changing certain wording. Let me know if you have any followup questions. View Additional Comments File
Response: VerderberK: 10/26/16 Thank you for your comment. Mr. Stanze has incorporated the recommended revisions in the updated proposal.
ManolyK (Disapproved) Date Posted: 09/14/16 The cognizant NRC staff members have discussed this issue internally and determined, at this time, that before the side load testing provisions in QME Case QME007 are formally incorporated into the next edition of the QME1 standard, further benchmarking should be obtained to demonstrate that side load testing is an effective predictor of behavior during shaker table testing.
NormanS (Comment) Date Posted: 09/08/16 I approve this action with the incorporation of Mr. Lambin and Mr. Rowley's comments.
Response: VerderberK: 10/26/16 Thank you for your comment. The necessary changes have been incorporated in the updated proposal.
RowleyC (Comment) Date Posted: 08/25/16 CWR1: I like this Nonmandatory Appendix as the "guidance" vice referencing Reg Guide 1.100 (especially since ASME QME1 is used around the world for NPPs. CWR2: We need to use the ASME action verb terminology (shall, should, may) more consistently. CWR3: Recommend the use of more subparagraph numbering, such as (a), (b), (c) or (1), (2), (3) or (i), (ii), (iii) for each distinct requirement. CWR4: Attached is a markup of the Record proposal with extensive CWR comments. View Additional Comments File
Response: VerderberK: 10/26/16 Thank you for your comment. Mr. Stanze has incorporated the recommended revisions in the updated proposal.
ScarbroughT (Comment) Date Posted: 09/11/16 I agree with the comments from Jason Lambin that it would be appropriate to address squib valves in the non mandatory appendix. I can provide provisions for the nonmandatory appendix if squib valves will be included. However, in the interest of including this nonmandatory appendix in the 2017 Edition of QME1, I suggest that the scope of the nonmandatory appendix remain as written to address poweroperated valves and relief valves. Squib valves could be addressed in the nonmandatory appendix in a future edition of QME1.
Response: VerderberK: 10/26/16 Thank you for your comment. The necessary changes have been incorporated in the updated proposal.

The definitions for candidate equipment, production equipment, and prototype equipment, in Section QR-4000 are causing confusion in determining what must go into the valve that the manufacturer subjects to testing. The definitions of “candidate equipment” and “prototype equipment” give no guidance with respect to materials or quality assurance. The definition of “production equipment”, however, reads such that the test valve would need to have the same exact material and level of quality as the production valve intends to have.
This could potentially create a seemingly endless array of material and quality level combinations to address in the qualification program. From a design perspective it would seem that if a valve can be built out of “lower” class commercial materials that passes QME-1 testing, one should be able to extend that qualification to a valve made out of “better” quality materials.
Also, the definitions for production valve assembly and test valve assembly in Section QV-4000 conflict with Section QR. The definition of “production valve assembly” references tolerances / clearances. The definition of “test valve assembly” offers no guidance. The same manufacturing tolerances and clearances can be achieved whether ASTM or ASME materials are used. Part drawings do not call out specific materials; one drawing can be used for multiple material types and the same tolerances would apply. Proposed Inquiry:
1. Regarding QR-1000, second sentence, "…active mechanical equipment shall comply with the requirements of the applicable design and construction codes and standards." Does test equipment (as defined in QR-4000), that will never be provided as production equipment (also defined in QR- 4000), be required to comply with the code requirements stated QR-1000?
Reply: No., as long as the test equipment is safe to test and the production equipment demonstrates compliance to requirements of the design specification.
2. Does test equipment (as defined in QR-4000) require documentation of all critical characteristics essential for qualification?
Reply: Yes
The Committee would also like to indicate that the user will need to extrapolate the qualification of the check valve in accordance with the QV-7562 requirements to address the ASTM material differences and then manufacture the production valves identical to the qualified valve in accordance with the QV-7563 requirements.

Chinese IWG Questions from September 2016 Meeting in Shanghai.
(1) Why was QVC-7100/7200 deleted?
(2) Why was QVP-7320 (also pumps) deleted 2002-2007?
(3) Why was detail reduced between 2002 & 2007 for pumps/valves?
(4) Why was the number of Parent Valves added in 2007?
(5)As we use ASME QME-1, QDR-6223.1, we have a question as follow:
"All parameters described in QDR-4100 shall be determined at the recorded room
temperature and a temperature of 200°F93or the specified maximum design
temperature, whichever is higher."
Now we want to know, why the temperature should be 200°F93?

LambinJ (Comment) Date Posted: 08/26/16 Please see my comments via "track changes". Many are due to the fact that the 2017 Edition is adding pyrotechnic valves and I'm not sure how this appendix should address them. Many are also notes from committee meetings from previous years where we discussed changing certain wording. Let me know if you have any followup questions. View Additional Comments File
Response: VerderberK: 10/26/16 Thank you for your comment. Mr. Stanze has incorporated the recommended revisions in the updated proposal.
ManolyK (Disapproved) Date Posted: 09/14/16 The cognizant NRC staff members have discussed this issue internally and determined, at this time, that before the side load testing provisions in QME Case QME007 are formally incorporated into the next edition of the QME1 standard, further benchmarking should be obtained to demonstrate that side load testing is an effective predictor of behavior during shaker table testing.
NormanS (Comment) Date Posted: 09/08/16 I approve this action with the incorporation of Mr. Lambin and Mr. Rowley's comments.
Response: VerderberK: 10/26/16 Thank you for your comment. The necessary changes have been incorporated in the updated proposal.
RowleyC (Comment) Date Posted: 08/25/16 CWR1: I like this Nonmandatory Appendix as the "guidance" vice referencing Reg Guide 1.100 (especially since ASME QME1 is used around the world for NPPs. CWR2: We need to use the ASME action verb terminology (shall, should, may) more consistently. CWR3: Recommend the use of more subparagraph numbering, such as (a), (b), (c) or (1), (2), (3) or (i), (ii), (iii) for each distinct requirement. CWR4: Attached is a markup of the Record proposal with extensive CWR comments. View Additional Comments File
Response: VerderberK: 10/26/16 Thank you for your comment. Mr. Stanze has incorporated the recommended revisions in the updated proposal.
ScarbroughT (Comment) Date Posted: 09/11/16 I agree with the comments from Jason Lambin that it would be appropriate to address squib valves in the non mandatory appendix. I can provide provisions for the nonmandatory appendix if squib valves will be included. However, in the interest of including this nonmandatory appendix in the 2017 Edition of QME1, I suggest that the scope of the nonmandatory appendix remain as written to address poweroperated valves and relief valves. Squib valves could be addressed in the nonmandatory appendix in a future edition of QME1.
Response: VerderberK: 10/26/16 Thank you for your comment. The necessary changes have been incorporated in the updated proposal.

Interpretation REC# 15-916 ASME QME-1 2007 & 2012 QV-7562 and QV-7563 MATERIAL COMBINATIONS AND QUALITY CLASSES OF TEST VALVES Background:
The definitions for candidate equipment, production equipment, and prototype equipment, in Section QR-4000 are causing confusion in determining what must go into the valve that the manufacturer subjects to testing. The definitions of “candidate equipment” and “prototype equipment” give no guidance with respect to materials or quality assurance. The definition of “production equipment”, however, reads such that the test valve would need to have the same exact material and level of quality as the production valve intends to have.
This could potentially create a seemingly endless array of material and quality level combinations to address in the qualification program. From a design perspective it would seem that if a valve can be built out of “lower” class commercial materials that passes QME-1 testing, one should be able to extend that qualification to a valve made out of “better” quality materials.
Also, the definitions for production valve assembly and test valve assembly in Section QV-4000 conflict with Section QR. The definition of “production valve assembly” references tolerances / clearances. The definition of “test valve assembly” offers no guidance. The same manufacturing tolerances and clearances can be achieved whether ASTM or ASME materials are used. Part drawings do not call out specific materials; one drawing can be used for multiple material types and the same tolerances would apply. Proposed Inquiry:
1. Regarding QR-1000, second sentence, "…active mechanical equipment shall comply with the requirements of the applicable design and construction codes and standards." Does test equipment (as defined in QR-4000), that will never be provided as production equipment (also defined in QR- 4000), be required to comply with the code requirements stated QR-1000?
Reply: No., as long as the test equipment is safe to test and the production equipment demonstrates compliance to requirements of the design specification.
2. Does test equipment (as defined in QR-4000) require documentation of all critical characteristics essential for qualification?
Reply: Yes
The Committee would also like to indicate that the user will need to extrapolate the qualification of the check valve in accordance with the QV-7562 requirements to address the ASTM material differences and then manufacture the production valves identical to the qualified valve in accordance with the QV-7563 requirements.

Chinese IWG Questions from September 2016 Meeting in Shanghai.
(1) Why was QVC-7100/7200 deleted?
(2) Why was QVP-7320 (also pumps) deleted 2002-2007?
(3) Why was detail reduced between 2002 & 2007 for pumps/valves?
(4) Why was the number of Parent Valves added in 2007?
(5)As we use ASME QME-1, QDR-6223.1, we have a question as follow:
"All parameters described in QDR-4100 shall be determined at the recorded room
temperature and a temperature of 200°F93or the specified maximum design
temperature, whichever is higher."
Now we want to know, why the temperature should be 200°F93?
