Vessel Design Basis Design Basis The first item to be considered in a vessel design specification is the code or standard that best suits the requirements. The design, fabrication and inspection standard that is most frequently used for pressure vessels is the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division I. However, ASME rules may not be required in areas that do not have a pressure vessel law, or when the pressure is below 15 psig. These vessels may be designed and fabricated to a manufacturer’s standard, which uses the code as a guideline. Highland Equipment Inc. offers the following standards: (1) ASME Designed, Stamped and Registered; (2) ASME Designed, No Stamp or (3) ASME Construction, Material and Welding Only. ASME Designed, No Stamp The vessel is designed in accordance with the ASME Code however, the vessel is not inspected by the authorized inspector and is not stamped with the U-Symbol or assigned a National Board Number.

Vessel Design Basis Design Basis
The first item to be considered in a vessel design specification is the code or standard that best suits the requirements. The design, fabrication and inspection standard that is most frequently used for pressure vessels is the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division I.
However, ASME rules may not be required in areas that do not have a pressure vessel law, or when the pressure is below 15 psig. These vessels may be designed and fabricated to a manufacturer’s standard, which uses the code as a guideline. Highland Equipment Inc. offers the following standards: (1) ASME Designed, Stamped and Registered; (2) ASME Designed, No Stamp or (3) ASME Construction, Material and Welding Only.
ASME Designed, No Stamp The vessel is designed in accordance with the ASME Code however, the vessel is not inspected by the authorized inspector and is not stamped with the U-Symbol or assigned a National Board Number. Inspection criteria is generally the sole responsibility of the fabricator. It is not uncommon to inspect per ASME Code Standards.
ASME Constructed (Material and Welding Only)
The vessel is not designed in accordance with code rules and published stress values. However, the vessel is designed in accordance with Highland Equipment Inc.’s engineering standards, the material is supplied to Code specifications, and ASME certified welders are used to construct the vessel. This specification offers the customer a quality vessel – at a lower cost – when the pressure is 15 psig or less. Inspection criteria generally is the sole responsibility of the fabricator.
