Water Columns are not required on Power Boilers by ASME Boiler Code, but when specified, must be designed and manufactured to comply with Code.
Water Columns are considered to be a Standard Pressure Part as defined in PG-11 of the ASME Boiler Code. A code stamp or outside inspector for manufacturing is not required. Code recognized materials, qualified welding procedures by qualified personnel, and hydro testing are a must.
