Study Notes

Fittings requiring registration include pipe fittings, expansion joints, hose assemblies, measuring devices, and pressure relief devices.
Registration material (including CRN) must be provided by the supplier for every registered fitting installed or replaced.
Jurisdictions prohibit the use of non-registered fittings in pressure service.
Fittings must be clearly marked with manufacturer name, service designation, and material designation for safe and proper use.
Power Engineers must consult the correct ASME codes (BPVC I for high-pressure plant piping, and B31.1, BPVC IV, and B31.9 for low-pressure plant piping) when designing, repairing, or installing piping systems.
Boiler piping is divided into three categories: boiler proper piping, boiler external piping, and nonboiler external piping.
Existing piping systems and new installations must follow the correct code for safe and durable piping systems.
ASME BPVC I has administrative jurisdiction over boiler external piping, but ASME B31.1 has technical jurisdiction, including rules for steam piping, feedwater piping, blowoff piping, and blowdown piping.
Proper identification, installation, and testing of fittings and piping systems are essential for safety and performance.
Improperly identified fittings or piping must never be placed in pressure service.
Fittings must be made of suitable materials and be of proper strength for the specific application to avoid failure or incompatibility.
