ASME Certified | NQA-1 Qualified | National Board Registered

Inland Mechanical holds the certifications that matter for nuclear, energy, aerospace, and chemical applications. Our ASME U/R/PP stamps, NQA-1 nuclear quality assurance program, and National Board registration ensure code-compliant fabrication backed by rigorous documentation and testing

ASME U Stamp (Pressure Vessel Fabrication)

The ASME U stamp authorizes fabrication of new pressure vessels to ASME Section VIII Division 1 and 2 requirements. This certification demonstrates:

  • Qualified welding procedures and certified welders
  • Engineering and quality assurance programs meeting ASME standards
  • Complete documentation and National Board reporting
  • Authorized Inspection Agency oversight (third-party verification)

Customer Benefit:

Vessels are code-compliant, safe, and legally installed in all jurisdictions requiring ASME certification.

ASME R Stamp (Pressure Vessel Repair & Alteration)

The ASME R stamp authorizes repair, alteration, and rerating of existing pressure vessels. This certification enables:

  • Field and shop repairs to existing code vessels
  • Vessel modifications and upgrades
  • Rerating of pressure vessels for different service conditions
  • National Board NB-23 repair documentation

Customer Benefit:

Extend vessel life, modify for new service, or upgrade capacity with code-compliant repairs.

ASME PP Stamp (Power & Process Piping)

The PP stamp authorizes fabrication and installation of ASME B31.1 power piping and B31.3 process piping. This certification covers:

  • High-pressure, high-temperature piping systems
  • Process piping for chemical and industrial applications
  • Nuclear facility piping (when combined with NQA-1)
  • Complete piping system documentation

Customer Benefit:

Code-compliant piping systems meeting industry standards and regulatory requirements.

NQA-1 Nuclear Quality Assurance

NQA-1 is the nuclear industry quality assurance standard required for DOE facilities and commercial nuclear power plants. Our NQA-1 program includes:

  • Comprehensive quality assurance manual and procedures
  • Document control and records management
  • Supplier qualification and material traceability
  • Nonconformance and corrective action programs
  • Regular audits and continuous improvement

Customer Benefit:

Work at DOE sites, commercial nuclear plants, and nuclear waste facilities with confidence in quality and documentation.

National Board Commission

Our National Board commission and R stamp registration enable:

  • National Board data report preparation and stamping
  • NB-23 repair forms for vessel repairs
  • Listing in the National Board database
  • Interstate and international vessel acceptance

Customer Benefit:

Vessels and repairs accepted in all jurisdictions, with permanent National Board registration.
