Quebec:




10/15

[Piping registration requirements for Quebec ONLY] Registration of piping is done at the time the installersubmits to the "Regie du batiment du Quebec" a declaration of installation of the piping. If the declaration ofinstallation is accepted by the "Regie du batiment du Quebec", a number is given to the installer and thatnumber shall be used by the manufacturer of the piping as the provincial piping design registration number.

Fittings used in piping systems shall be registered by the fitting manufacturer [fittings need a CRN]

New Brunswick:

The New Brunswick pressure vessel code does not specifically mention the need to register piping systems.




11/15

We are currently attempting to find from New Brunswick if piping needs to be registered there, and if so,what piping systems need to be registered.

Nova Scotia:

High pressure piping needs to be registered in Nova Scotia. We are currently in contact with Nova Scotia to

determine if a definition of high pressure piping in the province of Nova Scotia exists. New regulations areexpected fall of this year (2009).

Authors Comments:

Canada does not have a Canadian Registration System. We have a collection of provincial systems. Howis it possible that each province carefully studied what is required to keep the piping systems in theirprovinces safe and all came up with vastly different requirements? Alexis de Tocqueville (1805 to 1859)might have been thinking about piping registration:

After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful graspand fashioned him at will, the supreme power [of democracy] then extends its arm over thewhole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small complicate rules,minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energeticcharacters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, butsoftened, bent and guided... men are seldom forced to act, but they are constantlyrestrained from acting... Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it doesnot tyrannize, but it compresses, enervate, extinguishes, and stupefies a people...

Thus the spirit is gradually broken.... gradually losing the faculties of thinking, feeling, andacting for themselves. [People then console themselves at the loss of their liberties] byreflection that they have chosen their own guardians.

The Canadian B51 standard has been around for 70 years. The piping registration is really only started tohappen now. It is mainly applied to new installations when an Authorized Inspector is expected to find it.Existing piping systems are seldom registered and usually ignored. We are only now, 70 years in,determining if this system is even possible. The tools to make it practical like searchable databases forregistered parts, and rules to determine if systems are piping and if they need to be registered are still beingdeveloped.

Pressure Vessel Engineering's staff can assist you with all aspects of the CRN registrationprocess including calculations, drawings, finite element analysis, burst testing and registrationpaperwork. Our team is experienced with over 1200 CRNs registered since 1999 and over 400 in 2008alone.

PVEng also provides complete vessel code calculations for ASME Section 1, 4 and 8 (Div 1 and 2) as wellas B31.1 and 31.3. We can use finite element analysis to analyze pressure vessels or components andprovide solid modeling services. PVEng has designed vessels ranging from small filter vessels to largepressure treating cylinders and towers.
