A friend of mine just opened his own business, he is going to be making these cannon type products for deep sea fishing and fishing from shore.
What the product consists of is this: The person mounts their rod on a mount above PVC pipe that is connected to S.S. pipe, the pipe is rated up to 140lbs of pressure, the bait is shot out of the PVC about 300feet.
Totally awesome product if you ask me.
He has asked me to take charge of the inspection and quality issues for him.Does he need to obtain a U stamp? Would this be considered a pressure vessel under ASME? The pipe is 316L and the mounts welded to it are 304L.Everything is getting finalized to start production of these things.Just want to make sure we have everything right.
