I am working on a powerpoint for a industrial safety and maintenance class, so I would like to hear more on Federal and State regulations.

Thanks

This one deserves an Darwin Award:

General compresed gas standard

Compressed air, but it looks like it's either just reserved or not promulgated yet.

WOW we (nysdot) have a sand blast bay and have seen it used a couple times, i never want to be the sucker that puts on that hood. we are trying to figure out a way to finish it off.

thanks for the link now im NEVER getting in that thing.

Is there a link online that explains how to read an air compressor tank data plate?

I am told that a data plate will specify how often it has to be tested, true?

No; ASME Sec. VIII Div. I is a code of construction so the requirements regarding the inspection & servicing requirements for In-Service pressure equipment are going to be dictated at the state/Jurisdiction level and will generally involve NB-23, API 510, and API 572 as inspection practices.

In Minnesota the Jurisdiction is the Minnesota Department of Industry & Labor: http://www.doli.state.mn.us/code.html

The OSHA regs merely state regular and frequent inspections. Most states will have a separate arm of their OSHA organization that does nothing but boiler and pressure vessel inspections. In Indiana, boiler and elevator inspectors are almost all ex-cons as it's a trade that used to be (might still be) taught in the prisons in Indiana.

If there is an industry consensus standard, that can be used either for or against an entity as most industry standards are adopted into federal regulations. This can cause a problem as organizations like ASME, NFPA, etc can and do charge for the standard, but the federal regs "Incorporate by reference" the industry consensus standards, but don't publish them-contradicts the free and accessible clause of federal regulations.

Okay, help me understand this:

DES WP 200
HD 164
SH 187
TEM 450
RD 2:1
YR 1966

So I assume "DES WP 200" means 200 PSI max rating
and YR is 1966. What does the rest mean?

National Board # 100268: The number the design is registered with the National Board ( http://www.nationalboard.org/Index.aspx?pageID=9 ).

http://www.onetb.com/images/stamps/U.jpg ASME Sec VIII Div. I Code Stamp, IE the code it was constructed to.

Stover Tanks in Freeport ILL is who would have built the tank/held the code stamp.

ITT Bell & Gosset Hydronics I am guessing is the customer or involved with Stover Tanks in some way.

"W" Stamp: Welded construction.

MFG 110752: Serial Number.

DES WP 200 TEM 450: Designed for 200psi @ 450F.

HD .164: Minimum design head thickness.

RD 2:1: Head form, 2:1 Semi Elliptical.

SH .187: Minimum design shell thickness.

YR 1966: Year Built.
