PURPOSE
This MPR establishes minimum requirements for the management, maintenance, and certification of MSFC owned Pressure Vessels and Systems (PVS) in accordance with the requirements of NPR 8715.1 and NASA-STD-8719.17.
APPLICABILITY
a. This MPR applies to Center personnel, programs, projects, and activities, including contractors and resident agencies to the extent specified in their respective contracts or agreements. ("Contractors," for purposes of this paragraph, include contractors, grantees, Cooperative Agreement recipients, Space Act Agreement partners, or other agreement parties.)
b. This MPR applies to Michoud Assembly Facility.
c. This MPR applies the following: all mandatory actions (i.e., requirements) are denoted by statements containing the term "shall." The terms: "may" or "can" denote discretionary privilege or permission; "should" denotes a good practice and is recommended, but not required; "will" denotes expected outcome; and "are/is" denotes descriptive material.
d. This MPR applies the following: all document citations in this MPR are assumed to be the latest version unless otherwise noted.
e. This MPR applies to ground-based PVS, code and non-code pressure vessels (including vacuum vessels and boilers) that are MSFC-owned or -operated, temporary or permanent, and non-MSFCowned contractor or tenant-operated PVS on MSFC property if those PVS are determined to pose a risk to MSFC personnel, facilities, or equipment.
f. This MPR is applicable to pressure systems physically located at MSFC and those located at remote locations owned and/or managed by MSFC (e.g., the KSC Booster Fabrication Facility (BFF) and Hanger AF).
g. This MPR is not intended to identify all pressure system hazards or define the safety and training requirements for performing pressure system operation or maintenance.
h. NPR 8715.1, NASA-STD-8719.17 and NASA-STD-8719.26 are implied where the term "Agency requirements" is used throughout this MPR unless otherwise noted.
i. NASA-STD-8719.17 and NASA-STD-8719.26 shall take precedence where conflict exists between requirements in this MPR and the NASA standards.
