(6) Hot-water supply
boilers, hot-water heating boilers, and potable water heaters that are directly
fired with oil, gas, or electricity, except that hot-water supply boilers shall
be equipped with a proper size, type, and capacity safety relief valve as set
forth in section IV of the ASME BPVC, when none of the following limitations
are exceeded:
(A) A heat input of 200,000 Btu
per hour;
(B) A water temperature
of 210 degrees Fahrenheit;
(C) A
nominal water-containing capacity of 120 gallons; and
(D) An operating pressure not exceeding 160
psi;
(7) Unfired pressure
vessels designed for a pressure not exceeding fifteen (15) psi or five (5)
cubic feet in volume;
(8) Pressure
vessels not exceeding:
(A) Five (5) cubic feet
in volume and 250 psi design pressure;
(B) Three (3) cubic feet in volume and 350
psi design pressure;
(C) One and
one-half (1.5) cubic feet in volume and 600 psi design pressure; or
(D) An inside diameter of six (6) inches with
no limitation on pressure;
(9) Unfired pressure vessels containing water
and filtering material for use in irrigation of land;
(10) Unfired pressure vessels for the storage
of cold water;
(11) Fired or
self-contained sterilizers, steam generators, jacketed kettles, or steam
cookers when one of the following limitations is not exceeded:
(A) Heat input of three (3.0) KW;
or
(B) A volume of one and one half
(1.5) cubic feet;
(12)
Unfired pressure vessels and piping containing liquid petroleum gas and liquid
natural gas (except that welded repairs and alterations shall be in accordance
with section 12-220-8.1);
(13)
Refrigeration pressure vessels and its associated piping (except that welded
repairs and alterations shall, be in accordance with section
12-220-8.1);
(14) Liquid carbon
dioxide pressure vessels (except that welded repairs and alterations shall be
in accordance with section 12-220-8.1);
(15) A hot water heater constructed of
continuous coils, which is used only to produce steam vapor to clean machinery,
equipment, and buildings, if:
(A) The tubing
or pipe size does not exceed three-fourths (3/4) of an inch in diameter and
drums and headers are not attached;
(B) The nominal water-containing capacity
does not exceed six (6) gallons;
(C) The water temperatures do not exceed 350
degrees Fahrenheit; and
(D) Steam
is not generated within the coil; and
(16) Pressure vessels containing water heated
by steam or any other indirect means when none of the following limitations are
exceeded:
(A) A heat input of 200,000 Btu per
hour; and
(B) A water temperature
of 210 degrees Fahrenheit provided such pressure vessels shall be equipped with
an ASME-NB stamped safety relief valve.
(d) The marking done in accordance with the
original code of construction and section 12-220-29.1 shall not be concealed by
lagging or paint and shall be exposed unless a suitable record is kept of the
location of the stamping so that it may be readily uncovered at any time.
