NBBI NB 23 (NBIC) Part 2 - Inspection: 2021 [paper]
National Board Inspection Code – NBIC Part 2 – Inspection, 2021 edition
The National Board Inspection Code (NBIC) was first published in 1946 as a guide for chief inspectors. It has become an internationally recognized standard, adopted by most US and Canadian jurisdictions. The NBIC provides standards for the installation, inspection, and repair and/or alteration of boilers, pressure vessels, and pressure relief devices.
Part 1 – Installation
Part 2 – Inspection
Part 3 – Repairs and alterations
Part 4 – Pressure relief devices
The NBIC is organized into four (4) Parts to coincide with specific post-construction activities involving pressure-retaining items.
This Part provides information and guidance needed to perform and document inspections for all types of pressure-retaining items. It includes information on personnel safety, non-destructive examination, tests, failure mechanisms, types of pressure equipment, fitness for service, risk-based assessments, and performance-based standards.
