Fabrication assembly

The code prescribes minimum requirements for the materials, design, fabrication, assembly, support, erection, examination, inspection, and testing of piping systems subject to pressure or vacuum. The scope of the piping covered by B31.3 is illustrated in Fig. 10-124. It applies to all fluids including fluidized sohds and to all seivdces except as noted in the figure. 

For flanges of nonstandard dimensions or for sizes beyond the scope of the approved standards, design shall be in accordance with the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Sec. T11, except that requirements for fabrication, assembly, inspection testing, and the pressure and temperature hmits for materials of the Piping Code are to prevail. Countermoment flanges of flat face or otherwise providing a reaction outside the bolt circle are permitted if... 

In order to identify the production processes required to produce a particular product you need a production requirement in the form of product specifications which define the features and characteristics of the product that are to be achieved. By studying these specifications you will be able to identify the processes required to turn raw materials and bought-out components into a finished product. With manufactured products the processes may include machining, welding, fabrication, assembly, forming, plating, painting, heat treatment, etc. 

For the majority of shipped goods, the scope and influence of freight on an economy are often under-appreciated because much of freight movement is hidden. By the time a typical automobile is fully assembled and delivered, it has gone through thousands of transportation steps. It consists of numerous basic materials and thousands of components, all of which need to be fabricated, assembled, and sent to the automobile manufacturer for final assembly. 

Rocky Flats is a Government-owned and contractor-operated facility which originated in 1952. The plant s primary missions are metal fabrication, assembly, and chemical processing—with emphasis on production-related research and development. Chemical processing activities involve the recovery of plutonium from Rocky Flats Plant scrap, waste materials and residues, and effluent streams. The final product of this recovery and purification effort is high-purity plutonium metal for use in foundry operations. 

Engineering specification and purchasing procedures are essential to ensure that all items are to the design specification and to comply with company or national standards. During installation the features to consider are foundations, selection of materials, fabrication, assembly, supports, pressure testing etc. 

GR-6.2.2.5 Construction Plan. The processes of construction shall include procedures for fabrication, assembly, handling, storage and preservation, forming, and erection, in addition to the special processes of welding, brazing, heat treating, and postweld heat treating. 

The design, materials, fabrication, assembly, examination, inspection, and testing requirements of this Code are not applicable to components manufactured in accordance with the documents listed in Table IP-8.1, unless specifically stated in this Code or the listed document. 

This Part sets forth requirements for materials, components, design, fabrication, assembly, erection, inspection, examination, testing, operation, and maintenance of hydrogen pipelines. 

Pipeline systems shall be tested after construction to the requirements of this Code except for pretested fabricated assemblies, pretested tie-in sections, and tie-in connections. The circumferential welds of welded tie-in connections not pressure tested after construction shall be examined by radiographic, ultrasonic, or other nondestructive methods in accordance with para. PL-3.19.2.

The application of electro-optic polymer materials to practical devices will require some significant advances in the development of the materials. The primary advance required is the achievement of suitable thermal stability of the poled state over temperature ranges determined by fabrication, assembly, and end use requirements. Table in illustrates some of the temperatures and conditions under which a poled polymer must remain poled to within a few percent of its initial value over the life of a device. 

Whether a constant speed or a variable speed motor drive is used depends in part on the sophistication of the instrumentation and the nature of the anticipatory and detection section of the instrumentation. Because automated titration instrumentation frequently is needed for a specific problem, a great number of custom-fabricated assemblies have been developed.
