Simultaneously, a Sub Task Group was formed to investigate the issue of acrylic window design lifeversus service life. The design life is based on the PVHO window being exposed to the maximum allowable workingpressure (MAWP), at the maximum rated temperature, for the maximum number of (design) cycles, in an outdoorweathering environment. The majority of PVHOs are not operated to such extremes, and service life may indeedbe longer than design life. Conversely, if a window is not properly cared for (i.e., becomes exposed, either operationallyor nonoperationally, to other detrimental factors that are not, and cannot be, factored into the design life), then the actualservice life could be much shorter than the design life. Thus, the recommendation was made that design life and service lifebe addressed as two different subjects. In 1999 the In-Service Task Group became a PVHO subcommittee, with the mostimmediate task being the establishment of in-service criteria for PVHO windows and viewports.This Standard provides the necessary in-service criteria to supplement Section 2, Viewports, of ASME PVHO-1, whichapplies to new construction only. By comparison, this Standard applies to all ASME PVHO-1 acrylic windows, regardless oftheir date of manufacture. This Standard consists of both technical criteria and guidelines. They are intended to provideguidance to the user and/or the jurisdictional authority in regard to the establishment of potential service life, and thenecessary care, inspection, and repair during that service life—depending on the actual service conditions to which thePVHO and windows have been, or will be, exposed.Finally, this Standard was prepared as a “stand-alone” document. All forms additional to those normally supplied withthe window in accordance with ASME PVHO-1, which may be necessary throughout the service life of the window, areprovided herein. Similarly, all necessary ASME PVHO-1 technical data applicable to service and repair (if required) arealso provided in this Standard.The 2019 edition of ASME PVHO-2 further develops and clarifies the in-service guidelines for PVHOs. The requirementsfor in-service pressure testing gauge calibration have been updated. Nonmandatory Appendix A, covering checklists andlogs for PVHO operation, has been deleted, and the text under this appendix has been integrated into the general requirements of Section 1. New testing criteria for increasing the 40,000-hr design life of acrylic windows have beenincorporated under Section 2. Additionally, new forms have been added, and some of the existing forms have beenupdated.Sections on the following topics are in development are in development and may be included in future editions: qualityassurance for PVHO manufacturers, piping systems, medical hyperbaric systems, diving systems, and submersibles.Previous editions of this Standard were issued in 2003, 2012, and 2016. The 2019 edition of this Standard wasapproved by the American National Standards Institute as an American National Standard on December 4, 2019.v
