FOREWORD
General Information
This publication includes all written interpretations issued between the indicated dates by the ASME
Staff on behalf of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee in response to inquiries concerning
interpretations of theASMEBoilerandPressureVessel Code. A contents is also includedwhich lists
subjects specific to the interpretations covered in the individual volume. Theseinterpretationsare
not a part of theAddendaortheCode.
The interpretations are takenverbatimfromthe original letters, except for a few typographical and
editorial corrections made for the purpose of improved clarity. Insome instances, a review of the
interpretation revealed a need for corrections of a technical nature. In these cases, a revised interpretation
is presented bearing the original Interpretation Number with the suffix R and the original file number
with an asterisk. Following these revised interpretations, new interpretations and revisions tothem
issued during the indicated dates are assigned Interpretation Numbers inchronological order. Interpretations
applying to more than one Code Section appear withthe interpretations for each affected Section.
ASME procedures provide for reconsideration of these interpretations when or if additional information
is available which the inquirer believes might affect the interpretation. Further, persons aggrieved by
an interpretation mayappeal to the cognizant ASME committee or subcommittee, As stated in the
Statement of Policy in the Code documents, ASME does not approve, certify, rate, or endorse
any item, construction, proprietary device, or activity.
An interpretation applies either to the Edition and Addenda in effect on the date of issuance of the
interpretation or the Edition and Addenda stated in the interpretation. Subsequent revisions to the Code
may supersede the interpretation.
For detailed instructions onpreparation of technical inquiries to the ASME Boiler and Pressure
Vessel Committee, refer to Appendix I.
