SPECIFICATION REMOVAL
From time to time, it becomes necessary to remove
specications from this Part of Section II. This occurs
because the sponsoring society (e.g., ASTM, AWS, CEN)
has notied ASME that the specication has either been
replaced with another specication, or that there is no
known use and production of a material. Removal of a
specication from this Section also results in concurrent
removal of the same specication fromSection IXand from
all of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Construction
Codes that reference the material. This action effectively
prohibits further use of the material in ASME Boiler and
Pressure Vessel construction.
The following specications will be dropped from this
Section in the next Addenda, unless information concern-
ing current production and use of the material is received
before December 1 of this year:
SA-557/SA-557M-90a (discontinued by ASTM in 1995,
replaced by A 178/A 178M)
1
xvii
SA-731/SA-731M-91 (discontinued by ASTM in 1995,
replaced by A 268/A 268M)
1
If you are currently using and purchasing new material
to this specication for ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel
Code construction, and if discontinuance of this specica-
tion would present a hardship, please notify the Secretary
of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee, at
the address shown below:

Three Park Avenue
New York, NY 10016-5990
Tel: (212) 591-8533
Fax: (212) 591-8501

The replacement specications are currently in Section II, Part A.

GUIDELINE ON ACCEPTABLE ASTM EDITIONS
All materials, originating from an ASTM specication,
allowed by the various Code Sections and used for con-
struction within the scope of their rules shall be furnished
in accordance with the Material Specications contained
within Section II and this guideline except where otherwise
provided in Code Cases or in the applicable Section of
the Code. Materials covered by these Specications are
acceptable for use in items covered by the Code Sections
only to the degree indicated in the applicable Section.
Materials for Code use should preferably be ordered, pro-
duced, and documented on this basis; however, material
produced under an ASTM Specication listed in Table

cation may also be used in accordance with the above,
provided the material manufacturer or vessel manufacturer
certies with evidence acceptable to the Authorized Inspec-
tor that the corresponding Specication requirements have
been met. This guideline lists the Specications, originat-
ing from ASTM, and their acceptable dates of issue as
well as the Book sections of the ASME Boiler Code in
which the specication is approved for use.

GUIDELINE ON ACCEPTABLE NON-ASTM EDITIONS
All materials originating from a non-ASTM specica-
tion, allowed by the various Code Sections and used for
construction within the scope of their rules shall be fur-
nished in accordance with the Material Specications con-
tained within Section II and this guideline except where
otherwise provided in Code Cases or in the applicable
Section of the Code. Materials covered by these Specica-
tions are acceptable for use in items covered by the Code
Sections only to the degree indicated in the applicable
Section. Materials for Code use should preferably be
ordered, produced, and documented on this basis; however,
material produced under a non-ASTM Specication listed

GENERAL NOTE: The date of publication of the European standards considered in this Guideline is the year of approval of the standard by
CEN. This date appears in the body of the standard on the page starting with EN; dates appearing on the front page of an XX EN standard (e.g.,
XX p BS or NF or DIN) correspond only to the date of adoption by each member country.

in Table ED-2 may be used in lieu of the corresponding
ASME Specication as listed in this guideline. Material
produced to an ASME or non-ASTM Specication with
requirements different from the requirements of the corres-
ponding Specication may also be used in accordance with
the above, provided the material manufacturer or vessel
manufacturer certies with evidence acceptable to the
Authorized Inspector that the corresponding Specication
requirements have been met. This guideline lists the Speci-
cations, originating not from ASTM, and their acceptable
dates of issue as well as the Book sections of the ASME
Boiler Code in which the specication is approved for use.

SECTION II, PART A INTERPRETATIONS VOL. 57
INTERPRETATIONS
VOLUME 57 SECTION II-A
Replies to Technical Inquiries
January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006
FOREWORD
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 interpreta-
tions of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. A contents is also included which lists subjects specic
to the interpretations covered in the individual volume.
These interpretations are taken verbatim from the original letters, except for a few typographical and
editorial corrections made for the purpose of improved clarity. In some 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 sufx R and the original le number with an asterisk.
Following these revised interpretations, new interpretations and revisions to them issued during the indicated
dates are assigned interpretation numbers in chronological order. Interpretations applying to more than one
Code Section appear with the 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 may appeal 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, see Preparation of Technical Inquiries to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel
Committee in the front matter.
