You and Thom are correct, just that the committee intent to keep things affordable- witness no alarms req'd, no FDC, no listing on pump- There are a lot more 100 PSI rated pressure vessels made for residential market that would do fine but don't carry ASME.
99% of the residential Well tanks don't carry an ASME rating but one would assume when a well is acceptable as a connection to stored water with an automatically operating pump, the committee understood that a non-ASME well tank would be part of the package. glc -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jim Johnston Sent: Tuesday, September 15, 2009 11:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: 13d ASME George, I could be off-base on this but if my memory is correct ASME is the accepted pressure vessel listing authority, much like USC is for double check assemblies.
