Repair of Pressure Equipment and Piping
Purpose of ASME PCC-2-2022
The primary purpose of ASME PCC-2 is to provide recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices for extending the operational life and ensuring the safety of pressure-containing equipment that has developed damage, leaks, or degradation while in service. It fills the gap between the original construction codes (like the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code) and the need for safe, in-service repair.
This standard provides the technical framework for:
What is it Used For?
ASME PCC-2 is a critical reference used by owner/operators, maintenance engineers, repair organizations, and inspectors in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical, power generation, and chemical processing. Key applications include:
In short, it is the essential guide for ensuring that any maintenance or repair performed on a crucial piece of pressure equipment is done safely and correctly, maintaining regulatory compliance and operational reliability.
