Many types of fabrication and repair require a contractor to meet ASME codes. More than just a formality, these codes insure that work is performed properly to insure safe operations of potentially dangerous processes and equipment. Anyone can tell you they produce quality, but with over sixty-five years of proven experience, Piping & Equipment Co. has both the ability and desire to produce the quality results you need! Code stamps required include:• Fabricating a pressure vessel requires a U stamp. • Fabricating power piping requires a PP stamp. • Making modifications and repairing these vessels requires an R stamp. • Fabricating boilers requires the S stamp• Repairing boilers requires a R stamp. Piping & Equipment Co. holds Certificates of Authorization for all these stamps, one of only a handful of Kansas companies that do!

Steps to holding code stamps:• A company must develop a QC program and manual. • They must have an authorized inspection agency. • Every three years they go through a joint review by state officials and

members of the ASME National Board along with representatives from their insurance company, the authorized inspector and his supervisor.

• Annually, their insurance company audits them, a long, complicated and expensive process that Piping & Equipment Co. follows precisely.

• Then, welders in the shop and field must meet qualifications. All weld-ers go through a test, either destructive or x-ray. That test is good for six months, unless the welder is continually welding using code procedures.

• 100% of P&E welders are qualified and follow prescribed procedures

We have fabricated, installed, modified and repaired:• 3/8 scale steam traction boilers• Large boilers in refining, manu-facturing, processing and electri-cal generating applications.• We have fabricated, modi-fied and repaired vessels as large as 18 feet in diameter and 50 feet high. • Our field crews regularly perform maintenance and repair pressure vessels and modify power and boiler piping. •  We also build to API and AWS codes.
