RULE REQUIREMENTS FOR MATERIALS AND WELDING 2002 PART 2 American Bureau of Shipping Incorporated by Act of Legislature of the State of New York 1862 Copyright 2001 American Bureau of Shipping ABS Plaza 16855 Northchase Drive Houston, TX 77060 USA Rule Change Notice (2002) The effective date of each technical change since 1993 is shown in parenthesis at the end of the subsection/paragraph titles within the text of each Part. Unless a particular date and month are shown, the years in parentheses refer to the following effective dates: (2000) and after 1 January 2000 (and subsequent years) (1996) 9 May 1996 (1999) 12 May 1999 (1995) 15 May 1995 (1998) 13 May 1998 (1994) 9 May 1994 (1997) 19 May 1997 (1993) 11 May 1993 Listing by Effective Dates of Changes from the 2001 Rules EFFECTIVE DATE 1 January 2001 (based on the contract date for construction) Part/Para. No. Title/Subject Status/Remarks 2-1-1/15.1 Permissible Variations in To clarify that mill scale is to be considered when the Dimensions – Scope plate is produced for compliance with the specified under tolerance Section 2-4-4 Piping To align ABS requirements with IACS UR P2 regarding fabrication of piping and non-destructive examinations, and to outline the requirements for the heat treatment of piping. This Section is applicable only to piping for installation on vessels to be built in accordance with the Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels. ii ABS RULE REQUIREMENTS FOR MATERIALS AND WELDING . 2002 PART 2 Foreword For the 1996 edition, the “Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels – Part 2: Materials and Welding” was re-titled “Rule Requirements for Materials and Welding – Part 2.” The purpose of this generic title was to emphasize the common applicability of the material and welding requirements in “Part 2” to ABS-classed vessels, other marine structures and their associated machinery, and thereby make “Part 2” more readily a common “Part” of the various ABS Rules and Guides, as appropriate. Accordingly, the subject booklet, Rule Requirements for Materials and Welding – Part 2, is to be considered, for example, as being applicable and comprising a “Part” of the following ABS Rules and Guides: - Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels. - Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels Under 90 Meters (295 Feet) in Length - Rules for Building and Classing Mobile Offshore Drilling Units - Guide for Building and Classing High Speed Craft For the 2002 edition, a new Section 4, “Piping” has been added to Part 2, Chapter 4, “Welding and Fabrication”. This new Section is applicable only to piping for installation on vessels to be built in accordance with the Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels.
