The following is a list of items requested at the meeting:
13-29 Items of Interest
Record #09-885: New BPV XII requirement for maintenance of PRVs by uncertified personnel
August 9, 2011: Currently in Section XII industry, they are taking valves off of tanks, cleaning
them, replacing parts, not modifying the spring that controls the pressure, but replacing different
components for continuous maintenance. There are no rules for this and no rules for who should
do this. They want some rules to be written, but they do not want to impose anything new and to
keep it very open ended. This was put to a vote a while ago and SVR voted against it. BPV XII
wants to go forward with something and the handout is very preliminary. They are looking for
feedback from us, NBIC, or whoever is the most appropriate party to give them guidance on the
rules, the latest proposal can be found on page 363 of the August 9, 2011 Meeting Minutes. This
is going to remain as an item of interest at this committee.
November 8, 2011: Mr. Pittel reported that this was discussed in Section XII. Monte plans to
have something for review by mid-next year.
February 7, 2012: Mr. Pittel reported that this is still being worked on. Mr. Ball said that the
need in the train industry is that they have tanks which they sometimes want to take the valve off
and clean it and put it back together. The proposal from BPV XII was that there could be a valve
that could be designated that anyone could repair.
May 15, 2012: Mr. Pittel reported that he talked with Mr. Ball on this. A joint task group will
likely need to be created between BPV XII and SVR. Mr. Ball reported that first they were going
to propose a type of design with limited adjustment and then mandate that the manufacturer
provide information so that these adjustments could be made.
August 14, 2012: Mr. Pittel noted that they are accepting the fact that there are issues with not
having certificated individuals doing this maintenance; they are working with the NBIC to
develop a resolution. Mr. Ball noted that when this was balloted to BPV XII they got a number
6
of negatives and comments and were going to send it back to whoever was originally working on
it.
November 6, 2012: Mr. Pittel reported that there has been no progress on this.
February 12, 2013: Mr. Pittel reported that this is being worked on and discussions are being
held with the NBIC; they are trying to definite the problem and get consensus on how to
approach this.
August 13, 2013:
Project Plan for new UD-3 Certification

The publication of Record #01-061 one for the UD-3 certification has been put on administrative
hold until the project plan for the new conformity assessment program has been approved. For a
copy of the memo issued by Gerry Eisenberg, Director of Pressure Technology Codes and
Standards see pages 268-271 and for a copy of the latest draft of the project plan, see pages 272-
273.
BPV IV Interpretation regarding Size of boiler connection and connecting piping between boiler and
Safety or Safety Relief Valve (Record #13-871).
For a copy of the record information, see page 274. On page 275 please find a picture of the
aluminum Isothermic heat exchanger with undersized safety relief valve connection. The
connections on the heat exchanger accept tubing with an inside diameter of approximately 0.669 (one
of which is shown in the attached photo). Also on pages 276-279 is a copy of some typical European
style wall hung copper fin tube boiler sales literature indicating improper placement of a relief valve.
There are several manufacturer's selling similar products based upon this heat exchanger with such
mounting. Mr. Bedeaux from the ASME BPV IV Committee will discuss.
13-14 Errata

Item 10-1776: Section I PRV and PARV Capacity Certification
SC-SVR History
October 26, 2010 – This item was opened between meetings by request of the Project
Manager.
November 30, 2010 – Curtis Sharpe will be the PM and the task group will consist of
Jeramy Dickson and David Scallan.
February 1, 2011 – Mr. Sharpe reported that there are changes to 67.5 that need to be
reviewed. There are a few editorial changes that need to be made. A task group was formed
and they plan to develop a proposal and ballot to the SG-T before the next meeting.
April 28, 2011 – Mr. Sharpe reported that the TG is working on a revised proposal. The scope
of this item is broader than the title suggests. This item will be broken into three items, one of
which is #11-453. The main changes will still be under #10-1776. Mr. Dickson will flow chart
the circular reference for this item. Record #11-453 will get a new proposal and another new
item may be established for the economizer portion of this item. Mr. Tuttle noted that this
item started because super critical steam capacities were added. Mr. Tuttle also noted that he
would like to be a part of the working group for this item.
August 9, 2011 - Mr. Sharpe reported that they have a new proposal, which is shown on
pages 249-259 of the August 9, 2011 Meeting Minutes, for the committee to review. The
PM will be uploading the proposal and will notify the Secretary when they have done so
and this will be sent for ballot.
Mr. Danzy noted that there is some urgency for this revision because of the way power
actuated valves are affected by it. Alan West noted that the next edition of the code will
not be until July 2013 so the power actuated portion may need to be issued as a Code
Case/or Intent Interpretation. Mr. Danzy and Mr., Tuttle will create the intent
interpretation request and separate out of the proposal the remaining changes which will
not be included with the Intent Interpretation. – Record #11-1459 was opened for this.
November 8, 2011 – Mr. Hart reported that this item is on hold pending the outcome of the
intent interpretation that is being processed in SG-D.
February 7, 2012 – Mr. Sharpe reported that this item is on hold pending intent interpretation
#11-1459.
May 15, 2012 – This item is loosely linked to #11-1459. As soon as #11-1459 is complete,
this proposal will be modified accordingly and will be sent for ballot.
August 14, 2012 – Mr. Cox reported that there were minor changes made to the proposal by
the subgroup. The proposal was uploaded to the record on CS Connect and the explanation
19
Item 10-1776: Section I PRV and PARV Capacity Certification [Continued]
and summary of changes were updated as well. This item is now ready for ballot to
Subcommittee Safety Valve Requirements.
November 6, 2012 – This item will be sent for a recirculation ballot; the PM will post the
necessary responses and then ballot will be issued before the next meeting.
February 12, 2013 – Mr. Sharpe reported that this item was balloted and was disapproved
with one negative. Mr. Sharpe will be modifying the proposal accordingly and the proposal
will be sent for a recirculation ballot.

11-2106 SC Proposal Frank Richter Revision
Subject
Section VIII, Division 1; Correction of reference paragraphs for Ovepressure Protection in the
Scope and Subsections.
Proposal
Revise paragraph U-1(f) to indicate the correct paragraph references for overpressure
protection (UG-125 through UG-140 and Appendix 11).
Revise all subsections to have similar sentence structure and reference paragraph U-1(f). By
doing so, all subsections will be consistent and if the Overpressure Protection section is
modified, only one paragraph reference, U-1(f), would need to be revised.
Explanation
Section U-1(f) referenced overpressure sections UG-125 through UG-137. Paragraph was
revised to include all overpressure protection sections (UG-125 through UG-140).
In addition, the following subsections were revised to make reference to U-1(f) rather than the
individual subsections for overpressure protection. Subsections: UW-65, UB-60, UCS-125,
UNF-125, UHA-65, UCI-125, UCL-60, UCD-125, UHT-125, ULW-125.
UF-125, ULT-125 and UIG-125 were revised to change references as noted above as well as
the sentence structure was changed to make them the same as UW-65, UB-60, UCS-125,
UNF-125, UHA-65, UCI-125, UCL-60, UCD-125, UHT-125 and ULW-125.
The terminology "Pressure Relief Device" was replaced with "Overpressure Protection"
throughout the affected paragraphs commensurate with the incorporation of overpressure
protection by system design in UG-140.
Summary of Changes
U-1(f): Revised paragraph references
UW-65: Retitled and revised paragraph reference
UF-125: Retitled, revised paragraph reference and incorporated common language
UB-60: Retitled and revised paragraph reference
UCS-125: Retitled and revised paragraph reference

Item 11-2106; BPV VIII; Correct Overpressure Protection Subsections
SC-SVR History
November 8, 2011 – This item was initiated at the meeting and was assigned to Subgroup
Testing. Alton Cox will be the temporary PM until someone else is assigned. This item
will affect sections UW-65, UF-125, UB-60, UCS-125, UNF-125, UHA-65, UCI-125,
UCL-60, UCB-125, UHT-125, ULT-125.
February 7, 2012 – Mr. Cox reported that the PM needs to be changed to Mr. Dickson.
Mr. Dickson then reported that this item was submitted to SC-SVR for review. There are
16 sections within BPV VIII and at the end of each there is a paragraph that refers you to
the relevant UG Section. There have been additions to the UG paragraphs and these
references have not been accordingly revised. The PM will be reviewing each of these
and will determine what the appropriate references are.
May 15, 2012 – Mr. Cox reported that there is a proposal drafted for this item which is
ready for ballot to the BPV SC-SVR SG-Testing. Mr. Dickson will contact the Secretary
to initiate the ballot when the item is ready.
August 14, 2012 – Mr. Cox reported that this item is ready for ballot to SC-SVR, the
secretary will initiate the ballot.
November 6, 2012 – The PM noted that this item received a comment on the latest ballot
indicating that there is a typo in the last two items. He agrees with the commenter and
will be revising the proposal accordingly and will send it for a recirculation ballot.
February 12, 2013 – Mr. Hart reported that this item was disapproved by SC-SVR. Mr.
Nutter provided a handout to the committee which was reviewed at the meeting. Mr.
DeMichael suggested that UG-125 be added to the record as background material. The
Secretary reminded Mr. Nutter that responses need to be posted on C&S Connect before
this item can move forward. Once this is done Mr. Nutter will send a note to the secretary
and a new first consideration ballot will be issued.

Team:
This item was referred to our committee for review on the discrepancy that each of the sub-
sections of ASME Section VIII-1 referenced the incorrect paragraph ranges that are applicable
to pressure relief devices.
In efforts to keep future revisions of the Standard consistent, I am proposing that each sub-
section be revised to the same sentence structure and refer back to Section U where only one
paragraph has to be revised.
Section VIII-1 has the following sections:

13-495 SC Approved Dean Miller Code Case
Subject
Code Case to delay implementation of record #01-061
Proposal
Adopt a new Code Case to postpone the requirement for rupture disk devices to carry the
ASME Certification Mark and applicable Designator as described in KR-200(a) until January
1, 2015
Explanation
The 2013 Edition of ASME Section VIII, Division 3 will incorporate item 01-061 into the
Code. This change requires all bursting disk devices used on Division 3 vessels to be marked
with the ASME Certification Mark and applicable Designator. By default this requirement will
become mandatory on January 1, 2014. This provides only six months for manufacturers to
identify designs that are used on Division 3 vessels, submit application to the ASME Designated
Organization and get production testing scheduled and performed. With some devices being
manufactured by differing rupture disk and holder manufacturers this process will be even more
time consuming. Since this item also includes the creation of new ASME Scopes of
Authorization and there are many manufacturers of these devices it is very likely that many of the
devices used today will not have completed the certification process by January 1, 2014. The
objective of the Code Case is to delay the mandatory implementation of these requirements to
allow manufacturers sufficient time to pursue the necessary device certifications and prevent
users from being put in the position of having to knowingly violate Code rules by applying
non-certified devices.

Item 13-495: Code Case to Delay Implementation of #01-061
SC-SVR History
February 12, 2013 – Mr. Miller reported that this item is a byproduct of #01-061. It
entails establishment of new scopes of authorization as well as a new process for
manufacturers to have time to prepare and implement some of the devices. As written
now, the code would require that all devices to be stamped on Jan 1, 2014 and this is to
delay that mandate by one year.
Mr. West requested that the proposal for this item be developed and balloted prior to the
May BCW.

Case XXXX
Implementation of ASME Certification Mark and Applicable Designator.

Section VIII, Division 3
Inquiry: In the 2013 Edition of the ASME Section VIII, Division 3 paragraph KR-200(a)
adds a new requirement for rupture disk devices to carry the ASME Certification Mark
with the applicable UD or UD3 Designator. May rupture disk devices for use on
Division 3 vessels without the ASME Certification Mark continue to be used beyond the
six-month period after which revisions to the Code published in the 2013 Edition become
mandatory?
Reply: It is the opinion of the Committee that the implementation of the requirement for
rupture disk devices to carry the ASME Certification Mark and applicable Designator as
described in KR-200(a) may be postponed until January 1, 2015.

Approved
Subject
Section VIII, Division 1; Revision to paragraph UG-136(d)(2), UG-137(d)(2), and
UG-38(d)(2) Hydrostatic Pressure Test
Proposal
To revise paragraphs UG-136(d)(2), UG-136(d)(3), UG-137(d)(2), and UG-38(d)(2).
Explanation
The paragraphs UG-136(d)(2), UG-136(d)(3), UG-137(d)(2),and UG-138(d)(2) Hydrostatic
Pressure Test of Section VIII, Division 1 needs to be revised to clarify: a) clarify that pressure
testing is required and not restricted to hydrostatic testing, b) state what components require
pressure testing; c) the conditions for exempting components from pressure testing; d) the
option of either testing hydrostatically or pneumatically and, e) remove visible as a requirement
for test acceptance.
Summary of Changes
Revised paragraphs UG-136(d)(2), UG-137(d)(2), and UG-138(d)(2) changing the subject
from "hydrostatic testing" to "pressure testing", revised content to better define the parts
exempted from testing and deleted the word "visible" with regards to acceptance criteria.
Delete the word "visible" from UG-136(d)(3)

SC-SVR History
November 3, 2009 – This item is currently being worked on within Section VIII-1.
February 2, 2010 – Mr. Doelling reported that they are trying to get the requirements in
Section I to be the same as those in Section VIII. This item is currently at BPV VIII SG-GR.
August 3, 2010 – This item is still at BPV VIII SG-GR.
November 30, 2010 – This item is still at the BPV VIII SG-GR. Mr. Patel is still shown as the
Project Manager. He has updated the proposal, approved by this committee, from the 2007
Edition of the Code to the 2010 Edition. As a courtesy Mr. Patel will forward this to BPV VIII
SG-GR however, once an item has left SC-SVR we do not have the responsibilities to update the
proposal to current Code.
February 1, 2011 – Mr. Patel reported that this item is with BPV VIII SG-GR and there is no
progress since the last meeting.
April 28, 2011 - This item is at BPV VIII SG-GR and there has been no action to date.
August 9, 2011 - Mr. Patel reported that this item is currently within BPV VIII SG-GR. It
was balloted in July and was approved. There were some negatives because the proposal
said 2007 over the 2011 edition. Mr. Patel created a new proposal with the same revisions
using the 2011 Edition. There was not much difference between the 2007 and 2011
wording except that para 136(d)(2)(d) was removed in the 2011 edition and there were
objections to removing the word “visible” in subparagraph (e). Visible was already
removed in Section I and we are trying to match the wording in Section VIII.
Mr. Patel will give copies of the new proposal to Mr. DeMichael or Mr. Danzy to provide to
the BPV VIII PM. It was also suggested that the word “may” be removed.
November 8, 2011 – Mr. Danzy reported that this item is currently in Section VIII. This item
was discussed at the August meeting of Section VIII SG-GR and they felt that the wording
was confusing. This item will be discussed at the meeting tomorrow, both Mr. West and Mr.
Danzy plan to attend.
February 7, 2012 – Mr. Danzy reported that this item was approved by the SC-SVR and was
referred to BPV VIII. The Standards Committee balloted and revised the proposal, approved it
and sent it back to SC-SVR for review. This item will be dropped back down to Items in
Progress. There will be a new ballot to SC-SVR regarding this item before the next meeting.
May 15, 2012 – This item has been returned to SC-SVR to rework and will be moved back to
items in progress on the agenda. The proposal in CS Connect is correct and is ready for ballot
to BPC SC-SVR.

Item 08-1594: BPV VIII-1; Revision to para UG-136(D)(2), UG-137(D)(2),
and UG-138(D)(2) Hydrostatic Pressure Test [Continued]
August 14, 2012 – Mr. Danzy reported that this item was balloted and received some
comments which have been resolved. He will post responses to all of the comments on CS
Connect and will notify the secretary when this has been completed so that the item can move
forward.
November 6, 2012 – This item was approved by SC-SVR with comments. The PM will post
the final responses and will notify the secretary and the item will be transferred to the
Standards Committee.
February 12, 2013 – This item has been approved by SC-SVR and has been forwarded to
BPV VIII SG-GR for consideration. This item can be moved to items referred.

Item 10-1412: Section XII; Use of the “TV” and “TD” Designators in
accordance with CSP-53
SC-SVR History
August 3, 2010 – This item was opened regarding the use of the “TV” and “TD” Code
Symbol Stamps, in accordance with CSP-53, in response to item #12 of list of requests to the
BPV SC-SVR from BPV XII via record #04-20.
November 30, 2010 – No action to report on this item.
February 1, 2011 - Mr. DeMichael reported that items 10-1409, 10-1410, 10-1411and 10-
1412 will be included in note to BPV XII for clarification with Modal Appendices.
April 28, 2011 - This and several other items have to do with comments from Mr. Tanner that
came from #04-20. The PM’s of these items sent notice to Mr. DeMichael. Nothing has been
received yet. However, Mr. DeMichael is arranging to discuss these items with members of
Section XII at the Las Vegas meeting.
August 9, 2011 - Mr. DeMichael noted that there is no reason to hold this item up due to
the Modal Appendixes and the PM will move forward with a proposal for this.
November 8, 2011 – Mr. Richardson reported that this item was generated in response to a
comment by Mr. Tanner. They were delayed for a while pending clarification regarding the
modal appendices. However, they will now be moving forward and providing general
requirements. A proposal was provided to the subgroup for review and the PM plans to have a
proposal for action by SG-GR by the next meeting.
February 7, 2012 – Mr. Ball reported that John Richardson and Dave Parrish have been
working on this item. A proposal was distributed at the SG-GR meeting. Once the PM
incorporates the comments from the SG meeting it will be uploaded to CS Connect and a
request will be sent to the secretary to initiate a ballot to SG0GR. Mr. Richardson noted that
the forms will need to be added to Section XII.
May 15, 2012 – Mr. Richardson reported that this item was initiated in response to Mr.
Tanners comments. The proposal has been completed and updated on CS Connect. This
was discussed at SG-GR and they feel that it is ready for ballot. The secretary will initiate
a ballot to SG-GR.
August 14, 2012 – Mr. Richardson reported that this item came from Mr. Tanners comments
on Section XII. A proposal was put forward and balloted in SG-GR and was approved with a
comment. There is one word in the current proposal which needs to be corrected, the PM will
do so and will notify the secretary when the record has been updated. This item will then
proceed to the SC-SVR for ballot.
November 6, 2012 – Mr. Richardson reported that this item is currently out for ballot and has
not received any comments so far.

Item 10-1412: Section XII; Use of the “TV” and “TD” Designators in
accordance with CSP-53 [Continued]
February 12, 2013 – Mr. DeMichael reported that this item has passed BPV SC-SVR and was
referred to BPV XII where it is awaiting action. This item can be moved to items referred.

that are certified for steam, gas (air) and/or liquid (water) that will perform to all ASME Section
VIII Div 1 requirements when set and tested for one capacity certification and without
adjustments or changes to their parts will perform to all ASME Section VIII, Div 1
requirements for their other capacity certifications. At present even under the performance
capabilities noted, only one of the capacity certifications can be marked on the valve or its
nameplate and the end user can only apply the pressure relief valve to applications related to the
marked capacity certification.
It is noted that rupture disks may be marked for all applicable capacity certifications, see
UG-129(e)(9).

Item 10-1784: Section VIII Code Case regarding Multiple Marking of Certified
Capacities for Pressure Relief Valves
SC-SVR History
October 27, 2010 – This item was opened between meetings.
November 30, 2010 – This item was assigned to Dave Tuttle. Mr. Tuttle reported that he
expects to have a proposal for review at the next meeting.
February 1, 2011 – Mr. DeMichael provided a progress report. The Subgroup went through
each item of the Code Case and provided comments to the Project Manager for consideration.
Any comments should be sent to Dave Tuttle for consideration.
April 28, 2011 – Mr. Tuttle reported that this Code Case is to allow marking of multiple
capacities on the relief valves. His basis for his proposal comes from what was done on
rupture discs for multiple capacities.
Mr. Tuttle’s proposal was reviewed by the subgroup and was revised by them. The proposal
was shown to the members as a progress report and was discussed. This item will be revised
by the subgroup at their next meeting and will then be brought to SC-SVR for ballot after
their review.
Jeramy Dickson noted that something in the code case needs to be added regarding what will
be written on the UV-1 form.
Mr. Tuttle requested that everyone with comments or concerns with this proposal send their
suggestion to him for consideration of inclusion in the next revision of this case.
August 9, 2011 - Mr. Tuttle reported that at the last meeting, the item was held because
Roger hadn’t seen the proposal yet. He has reviewed it and the subgroup reaffirmed the
proposal. Alan West noted two revisions to the code case request that he would like made
before this item proceeds to ballot. At the last meeting, Mr. Dickson also wanted to know
where the media was to be included on the stamp. Mr. Tuttle will revise the proposal and
this item will then be sent for ballot.
November 8, 2011 – Mr. Tuttle reported that this ballot received several disapprovals. The
negatives were discussed and Mr. Tuttle noted that he will make revisions to the proposal
based on the negatives he received. He will be updating the record and will get it ready for
another round of balloting.
February 7, 2012 – Mr. Ball reported that ballot #12-80 closed with three negatives. Mr.
DeMichael plans to withdraw his negative and the other comments will require editorial
revisions; this item will be recirculated when the proposal is revised.
May 15, 2012 – Mr. DeMichael reported that this item has been through a first consideration
ballot to SC-SVR. It received negatives which have been addressed. The record on CS
Connect needs to be cleaned up and will then be sent for a recirculation ballot.

Item 10-1784: Section VIII Code Case regarding Multiple Marking of Certified
Capacities for Pressure Relief Valves [Continued]
August 14, 2012 – Mr. Tuttle reported that this item is currently out for recirculation ballot
and is scheduled to close on August 20, 2012.
November 6, 2012 – Mr. Tuttle reported that this item was referred to BPV VIII for action but
does not currently appear on the SG-GR agenda.
February 12, 2013 – Mr. DeMichael reported for Mr. Tuttle that this item has been forwarded
to BPV VIII but is not yet on their agenda; Mr. DeMichael will resolve this at the meeting
tomorrow.

10-1877 SC Proposal John P. Glaspie Revision
Subject
Section VIII, Division 1; UG-131(d)(2) and (e)(2) Capacity Certification
Proposal
Approve the Code changes shown in the proposal.
Explanation
The no longer utilized log-log plotting process in UG-131(d)(2)(b) is replaced with current
industry method of flow factor capacity certification for liquid pressure relief valves.
The format of slope certification in UG-131(d)(2)(a) is revised to mirror the flow factor
incorporation. Redundant equations for rated capacity based on set and overpressure are also
removed from UG-131(d)(2)(a).
A code rule located in a note in UG-131(e)(2) is incorporated into body text of UG-131(e)(2).
>> UG-131(e)(2) capacity formulas proposed by original inquirer will be handled under a
separate item.
Summary of Changes
Revised paragraph UG-131(d)(2)(a).
Revised paragraph UG-131(d)(2)(b).

SC-SVR History
November 8, 2010 – This item was opened between meetings.
November 30, 2010 – PM was changed to Mr. Wang and the task group will consist of
Greg Goodson and Sid Cammerisi.
February 1, 2011 – Mr. Cox reported that the PM needs to be changed to Brandon Nutter. Mr.
Nutter then reported that this item is a change from what’s required in the code to what’s
actually practiced in industry. The subgroup received a proposed revision to the code (Feb.
2011 minutes pages 256-258). Brandon noted that there are a few things that need to be
worked on before the item moves forward. The task group will consist of J. Dickson, Z. Wang,
J. Goodson and S. Cammerisi. There will be a ballot before then next meeting.
April 28, 2011 – Mr. Nutter provided a handout for the committee to review. Mr. Nutter
reviewed the rationale of this revision to bring the code in line with current industry practices.
The proposal provided was a revised draft created by the subgroup on Testing. The committee
reviewed the proposal. Mr. Nutter noted that h would like to have Joe Ball review the
proposal before it goes out for ballot to the entire committee. After Mr. Ball reviews the
proposal, Mr. Nutter will send a request to the secretary to initiate the ballot before the next
meeting.
August 9, 2011 - There have been some Task Group meetings and they have requested to
bring this item back to the Task Group level. The Task Group plans to revise the scope of this
item and do some further work on it before it is presented again to the Subcommittee.
Mr. Nutter noted that, during discussions with several of the interested parties, it came to
light that the coefficient of discharge method for all device certifications might be
something they want to look at. Any members who would like to be a part of the TG
should notify Mr. Nutter.
November 8, 2011 – There have been a lot of comments received on the latest proposal and
has been brought back to the task group for further work.
February 7, 2012 – Mr. Nutter reported that this item began with an inquiry from Mr. Danzy.
The proposal that he supplied incorporated several things including the log-log plotting
method for liquid capacity certification. He proposed that we incorporate the industry
standard flow factor certification method. He also proposed that we change the liquid capacity
certification to a volumetric certification rather than the mass. The TG will be work on a
proposal to correct the rules as they are now and then go back to the additional information on
volumetric and coefficient of discharge methods on another item. They plan to have a
proposal by the next meeting.
May 15, 2012 – There was a task group teleconference and they agreed to revise the scope of
record #10-1877 to address UG-136(d)(2)(b) only to eliminate the log-log and to instead
84
Item 10-1877: Section VIII-1 UG-136(d)(2)(b) and UG-136(e)(2) Liquid
Capacity Certification [Continued]
describe the actual practice. Mr. Nutter will send a request to the Secretary to open new items
for the inquiry as well as new items to address the issues that came up during the review of
the proposal.
August 14, 2012 – Mr. Nutter reported that he has further revised the proposal, a copy of the
revised proposal can be found on pages 292-397 of the August 14, 2012 Meeting Minutes. Mr.
Nutter reviewed the proposal with the committee and they agreed to open a new item at the
subgroup level to review the other portion of Mr. Danzy’s issues. Mr. Danzy added that this
item can go forward for the flow factor portion. Mr. Danzy further noted that the statement
being removed about failure to meet the requirements is in the wrong location and that it
shouldn’t be deleted all together. Mr. Nutter will revise the proposal to avoid the issue of the
failure to meet the requirements.
November 6, 2012 – On the first ballot for this item (#12-204), there were a few comments
made which were corrected in a recirculation ballot. During the recirculation ballot, Mr.
Glaspie noted that there was a missing subscript which is a typographical error.
MOTION was made to add subscript M to the S as shown in the proposal as
shown on pages 66-71 of the November 6, 2012 Meeting Minutes. Motion
was seconded and APPROVED.
The corrected proposal will be uploaded to CS Connect and this item will be referred to the
Standards Committee.
February 12, 2013 – This item was approved by the subcommittee and some editorial changes
were introduced; it is currently listed as standards committee proposal.

SC-SVR History
February 8, 2011 – This item was opened between meetings.
April 28, 2011 – Mr. Pittel noted that the original proposal for this was reviewed and
commented on. This will be revised and submitted at the next meeting for voting.
August 9, 2011 - Mr. Pittel reported that this item is for general updates for PRV and RD.
This item is not a large update and it is currently being voted on. When the ballot closes
the PM will take the comments into consideration including how to handle the Modal
Appendixes.
November 8, 2011 – Mr. Pittel reported that this item was sent for ballot and was reviewed by
members of the SC-SVR SG-GR which came back with comments and disapprovals. The
item will be revised in response to those comments as well as some additional changes
allowing the modal appendices to override the TR sections. He hopes to have this proposal
balloted to SG-GR prior to the next meeting.
February 7, 2012 – Mr. Ball reported that this item considers some General Requirements
fixes in BPV XII. Mr. Pittel reported that he has the SG review his markup and he made some
further changes to it. The new mark-up is posted on CS Connect and there is one additional
issue that needs to be revised. Once the proposal is ready for ballot the PM will request that
the secretary initiate a ballot to SG-GR and then that will hopefully be followed by a ballot to
SC-SVR.
May 15, 2012 – Mr. Pittel reported that this item was balloted to and APPROVED by SG-GR.
This is now ready to be sent for ballot to SC-SVR.
August 14, 2012 – Mr. Pittel reported that he has reviewed all of the comments and negatives
associated with the ballot and only formatting changes are necessary to the proposal. Mr.
Pittel will modify the proposal and upload it to CS Connect. He will then notify the Secretary
and the item will move forward.
November 6, 2012 – Mr. Tuttle reported that this item has passed SG-GR and has been
sent up to the BPC XII Standards Committee for action.
February 12, 2013 – Mr. Pittel reported that he will be working with the BPV XII

(a) All transport tanks within the scope of this Section, irrespective
of size or pressure, shall be provided with overpressure protection in
accordance with the requirements of this Part, as set forth in Articles
TR-1 through TR-5, except as permitted by the applicable Modal
Appendix, and the following shall apply. It is the user’s or his/her
designated agent’s responsibility to identify all potential overpressure
scenarios and the method of overpressure protection used to mitigate
each scenario. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the
required overpressure protection system is properly installed prior to
initial operation. It is the responsibility of the user or his/her
designated agent to size and select the pressure relief device(s) based
on its intended service. Intended service consideration shall include,
but not necessarily be limited to, the following: (a) normal operating
and upset conditions, (b) fluids, (c) fluid phases. The overpressure
protection system need not be supplied by the vessel Manufacturer.
Transport tank or tank is an all-inclusive term comprising pressure
vessel, service equipment, and external structural components.
(d) As an alternative to the stamping requirements of this Section,

pressure relief devices certified for service in unfired pressure vessels
per Section VIII Division 1 may be used for Section XII applications
if it meets the additional requirements of Section XII, particularly the
Modal Appendices.
94
Pressure relief device(s) shall be readily accessible for testing,

inspection, replacement, and repair. Pressure relief devices shall be
installed to minimize the potential for damage or otherwise being
rendered inoperable during expected operating conditions.
(b) The opening through all pipe, fittings, and nonreclosing

pressure relief devices (if installed) between a transport tank and its
pressure relief valve shall have at least the area of the pressure
relief valve inlet. The characteristics of this upstream system shall
be such that the pressure drop will not reduce the relieving capacity
below that required or adversely affect the proper operation of the
pressure relief valve. The opening in the transport tank wall shall
be designed to provide unobstructed flow between the vessel and
its pressure relief valve.
(c) When two or more required pressure relief devices are placed
on one connection, the inlet internal cross-sectional area of this
connection shall be either sized to avoid restricted flow to the
pressure relief devices or made at least equal to the combined inlet
areas to the pressure relief devices connected to it. The flow
characteristics of the upstream system shall satisfy the requirements
of (b) above.
(d) There shall be no intervening stop valves between the vessel
and its pressure relief device or devices, or between the pressure
relief device and the point of discharge.
(e) The pressure relief devices on all transport tanks shall be so
installed that their proper functioning will not be hindered by the
nature of the transport tank’s contents.
95
(f) Discharge lines from pressure relief devices shall be designed

to facilitate drainage or shall be fitted with drains to prevent liquid
from lodging in the discharge side of the pressure relief device, and
such lines shall lead to a safe place of discharge. The size of the
discharge lines shall be such that any pressure that may exist or
develop will not reduce the relieving capacity of the pressure relief
devices below that required to properly protect the vessel, or
adversely affect the proper operation of the pressure relief devices.
