FOREWORD

This publication includes all of the written replies issued between the indicated dates by the Secretary, speaking for the ASME Committee on Nuclear Air and Gas Treatment Equipment, to inquiries concerning interpretations of technical aspects of ASME AG-1-1994, Code on Nuclear Air and Gas Treatment.

These interpretations were prepared in accordance with the accredited ASME procedures. ASME procedures provide for reconsideration of these interpretations when or if additional information is available which the inquirer believes might affect the interpretation. Further, persons aggrieved by this interpretation may appeal to the cognizant ASME Committee or Subcommittee. ASME does not "approve," "certify," "rate," or "endorse" any item, construction, proprietary device, or activity.

An interpretation applies to the edition or addenda stated in the interpretation itself, or, if none is stated, to the latest published edition and addenda at the time it is issued. Subsequent revisions to the rules may have superseded the reply.

For detailed instructions on the preparation of technical inquiries, refer to the Preparation of Technical Inquiries to the Committee on Nuclear Air and Gas Treatment in Mandatory Appendix I of AG-1-1994.
