(1) Portable, unfired pressure vessels, built after the effective date of this regulation, must be marked and reported indicating that they have been designed and constructed to meet the standards of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Rules for Construction of Unfired Pressure Vessels, 1963. They must be subjected to a hydrostatic pressure test of one and one-half times the working pressure of the vessels.
(2) Portable, unfired pressure vessels, not built to the code requirements of (1) of this section, and built prior to the effective date of this regulation, must be examined quarterly by a competent person, and approved by the state boiler inspecting division. They must be subjected yearly to a hydrostatic pressure test of one and one-half times the working pressure of the vessels.
(3) The relief valves on the portable, unfired pressure vessels in (1) and (2) of this section must be set to the safe working pressure of the vessels, or set to the lowest safe working pressure of the systems, whichever is lower.
(4) A record of such examinations and tests made in compliance with the requirements of (1) and (2) of this section must be maintained.
