The requirements of sections 2 and 3 do not apply to the quasi-steady residual internal pressure following the impulsive loading, or to other nonimpulsive loading. Such loading is covered by existing rules of Section VIII, Division 3.
Construction Rules
Each pressure vessel to which this Case applies shall comply with the existing rules of Section VIII, Division 3 and the additional requirements in this Case.
Overpressure Protection
In accordance with KG-311.11, the User, or his Designated Agent, shall be responsible for the provision in the Design Specification of the administrative or engineered controls that provide overpressure protection, as specified in section 4 of this Case.
