Description
What is the difference between a non-code and ASME code pressure vessel?
ASME code pressure vessels are built to the requirements of ASME boiler and pressure vessel code and is oftentimes a requirement for certain types of applications. The safety factor incorporated into an ASME code design is 3.5 : 1 whereas a non-code vessel may be less, for example 3 : 1. All of the welders must be qualified in accordance with ASME section IX and a non-code vessel can be fabricated by persons experienced in pressure vessel fabrication. An ASME code vessel is physically inspected and relevant documentation reviewed by an independent 3rd party prior to receiving a stamp and being registered with the National Board – there is no such requirement for non-code vessels. Since most applications do not have an ASME code stamp requirement, the PROLINE bag filter housing offers a significant cost savings for the most common applications.
While the PROLINE and MAXILINE bag filter housings each have the ASME 150 PSI pressure rating, the PROLINE bag filter housing is limited to 200F whereas the MAXILINE can handle temperatures up to 250F.
If your filtration requirement falls within 1 to 100 microns (nominal), also consider the HAYFLOW upgrade option, as it may reduce the number of bag filter stations required.
