I'm trying to figure out how to re-format our nameplate to meet the 2007 Section VIII Div 1 UG-119. I don't want to increase the size of our nameplate. Has anyone had experience with how precisely the format/wording has to match figure UG-118? Having Pressure & Temperature spelled out takes up a lot of room.

Thanks,
Dale

Dale,

I suggest you ask you AI what they are willing to accept. We abbreviate the working of our ASME U-Stamp nameplates. i.e. MAWP 3500kPa at 100ºC.

Comparing 2004 / 2007 it appears that the wording of UG-116(a)(3&4) have been changed, however it is my opinion that this has only been changed to make the wording of the paragraph clear, and not to make an actual change to the wording of a nameplate.

Having just read an overview of Code changes by our AI I can confirm that they have not highlighed this as a change to code.

Once again it all comes down to what your AI is willing to accept.
