Title 24 Compliance

 

Medical Gas Brazing Processes

From the start NITC had a single practical test for brazing which became the industry standard for the qualification of ASSE 6010 Installers.

As the requirements for Brazing of Medical Gas and Vacuum System piping have evolved over the years, NITC has found it necessary to implement some important changes that (1) reflect the most up-to-date industry practices and (2) ensure compliance with the changes to the codes and standards. NITC has recently qualified additional Practical Braze Tests to cover the full range of copper tube sizes used for the installation of Medical Gas Systems as required by the latest editions of the NFPA 99 Healthcare Facilities Code and ASME Section IX Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. The additional NITC Medical Gas Braze Testslisted within the table below may be used for the Performance Qualification Testing of Medical Gas Brazers.

Please contact our office if you need assistance.
