7 Inspection and Rejection
7.1 ASME Code Inspection The authorized inspector required by the ASME Code shall make all inspections specifically required by the Code plus such other inspections believed necessary to certify that all vessels authorized to be stamped with the Code symbol meet all of the applicable requirements of the Code. The authorized inspector shall sign the Certificate of Inspection on the manufacturer’s data report when the vessel, to the best of the inspector’s knowledge and belief, is complete and in compliance with all the provisions of the Code.
7.2 Inspection Notice Where additional inspection is required by the purchaser, the extent of such inspection should be stated on the purchase order. Where the inspector representing the purchaser desires to inspect separators purchased or witness any specification tests or evaluate the results of any nondestructive examinations, the manufacturer shall give reasonable notice of the time at which such inspections should be made.
7.3 Inspection by Purchaser While work on the contract of the purchaser is being performed, the inspector representing the purchaser shall have free entry at all times to all parts of the manufacturer’s works which concern the manufacture of the material ordered. The manufacturer shall afford, without charge, all reasonable facilities to satisfy the inspector that the material is being manufactured in accordance with this specification. All inspections shall be made at the place of manufacture prior to shipment unless otherwise specified on the purchase order, and shall be so conducted as not to interfere unnecessarily with the manufacturer’s operations.
7.4 Rejection Material which shows injurious defects on initial inspection or subsequent to acceptance at manufacturer’s works, or which proves defective when properly applied in service, may be rejected, and the manufacturer so notified. If tests that require the destruction of material are made at other than the place of manufacture, the purchaser shall pay for material complying with all of the provisions of this specification, but shall not pay for any material which fails to meet the specifications.
7.5 Compliance The manufacturer shall be responsible for complying with all the provisions of this specification. The purchaser may make any investigation necessary to be assured of compliance by the manufacturer and may reject any material that does not comply with this specification.API Spec 12J pdf download.API Spec 12J:2009 pdf free download
