PCC-1, -2 and -3.
ASME PCC-1: Guidelines for Pressure Boundary Bolted Flange
Joint Assembly
The bolted flange joint assembly (BFJA) guidelines described in
this document apply to pressure-boundary flanged joints with
ring-type gaskets that are entirely within the circle enclosed by
the bolt holes and with no contact outside this circle.1 By
selection of those features suitable to the specific service or
need, these guidelines may be used to develop effective joint
assembly procedures for the broad range of sizes and service
conditions normally encountered in industry. Guidance on
troubleshooting BFJAs not providing leak-tight performance is also
provided in this document (Appendix P).
ASME PCC-2: Repair of Pressure Equipment and
Piping
This Standard provides methods for repair of equipment and
piping within the scope of ASME Pressure Technology Codes and
Standards1 after they have been placed in service. These repair
methods include relevant design, fabrication, examination, and
testing practices and may be temporary or permanent, depending on
the circumstances. The methods provided in this Standard address
the repair of components when repair is deemed necessary based on
appropriate inspection and flaw assessment. These inspection and
flaw evaluation methods are not covered in this Standard, but are
covered in other post construction codes and standards. Only
technical procedures and information are provided; administrative
or policy requirements are outside of the scope of this
Standard.
ASME PCC-3: Inspection Planning Using Risk-Based
Methods
The risk analysis principles, guidance, and implementation
strategies presented in this Standard are broadly applicable;
however, this Standard has been specifically developed for
applications involving fixed pressure containing equipment and
components. This Standard is not intended to be used for nuclear
power plant components; see ASME BPV, Section XI, Rules for
Inservice Inspection of Nuclear Power Plant Components. It provides
guidance to owners, operators, and designers of pressure-containing
equipment for developing and implementing an inspection program.
These guidelines include means for assessing an inspection program
and its plan. The approach emphasizes safe and reliable operation
through cost-effective inspection. A spectrum of complementary risk
analysis approaches (qualitative through fully-quantitative) should
be considered as part of the inspection planning process.
