    Problem:

    Our Project Design Specification calls for ASME II 2010 for Material and ASME III 2007 with 2008 addenda for Rules for construction of nuclear facility components. However, there is no exact selection of ASME III Code year within AutoPIPE. Please advise the appropriated setup for ASME III Nx Stress analyses with above described Code year.

    Solution:

    AutoPIPE V8i 09.06.00.xx and lower has the following nuclear codes for selection:

    Update April 2019, AutoPIPE 12.00.00.19

    ASME BPV-III-1-NB (1972 - 2007)

    Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code, Rules for Construction of Nuclear Power Plant Components Division 1, Subsection NB, Class 1 Components (1972 + 1972 W addenda, 1974 + 1975 W addenda, 1977, 1980 + 1982 W addenda, 1983 + 1983 W addenda, 1986 + 1988 addenda, 1989, 1989 + 1989 addenda, 1992 + 1994 addenda, 1995 + 1997 addenda, 1998, 2001, 2004, and 2007)

    ASME BPV-III-1-NC (1972 - 2007)

    Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code, Rules for Construction of Nuclear Power Plant Components Division 1, Subsection NC, Class 2 Components (1972 + 1972 W addenda, 1974 + 1975 W addenda, 1977, 1980 + 1980 S addenda, 1983 + 1983 W addenda, 1986 + 1988 addenda, 1989, 1989 + 1989 addenda, 1992 + 1994 addenda, 1995 + 1997 addenda, 1998, 2001, 2001 + 2003 addenda, 2004 and 2007)

    Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code, Rules for Construction of Nuclear Power Plant Components Division 1, Subsection NC, Class 2 Components (1972 + 1972 W addenda, 1974 + 1975 W addenda, 1977, 1980 + 1980 S addenda, 1983 + 1983 W addenda, 1986 + 1988 addenda, 1989, 1989 + 1989 addenda, 1992 + 1994 addenda, 1995 + 1997 addenda, 1998, 2001, 2001 + 2003 addenda, 2004, 2007, 2007 + 2008 addenda, 2010, 2010 + 2011 addenda, 2013, 2015 and 2017) 

    ASME BPV-III-1-ND (1972 - 2007)

    Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code, Rules for Construction of Nuclear Power Plant Components Division 1, Subsection ND, Class 3 Components (1972 + 1972 W addenda, 1974 + 1975 W addenda, 1977, 1980 + 1980 S addenda, 1983 + 1983 W addenda, 1986 + 1988 addenda, 1989, 1989 + 1989 addenda, 1992 + 1994 addenda, 1995 + 1997 addenda, 1998, 2001, 2001 + 2003 addenda, 2004 and 2007)

    Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code, Rules for Construction of Nuclear Power Plant Components Division 1, Subsection ND, Class 3 Components (1972 + 1972 W addenda, 1974 + 1975 W addenda, 1977, 1980 + 1980 S addenda, 1983 + 1983 W addenda, 1986 + 1988 addenda, 1989, 1989 + 1989 addenda, 1992 + 1994 addenda, 1995 + 1997 addenda, 1998, 2001, 2001 + 2003 addenda, 2004, 2007, 2007 + 2008 addenda, 2010, 2010 + 2011 addenda, 2013, 2015 and 2017) 

    As you can see there is currently no 2007 + 2008 addenda edition. This enhancement has already been  logged under CAE-CR-6978: "Update ASME NB NC and ND code to 2008 addenda" and will be included in a future build of the application. Please review the code as there is not much difference between 2007 release.

    With regards to which code to select from the Tools> Model options> General> Piping code> drop down listing, due to liability law suits Bentley TSG is not at liberty to dictate what piping code / year should be used in your model. That is for you to determine. Recommend reviewing the possibility of using ASME NB, NC, or ND piping code. 

    Most of the material data in the libraries associated with the Nuclear Piping codes has come from ASME BPV-III. Please see the online help for details of what code year.
