AN INTRODUCTION TO

PIPING STANDARDS & CODES

https://www.facebook.com/groups/jointechqaqcsharing/
WHAT IS A STANDARD?
 A set of technical definitions & guidelines
 A set of “how to” instructions for designers,
manufacturers and users
 A way, system or document to be adopted & used by
people executing a project
 It defines the operative mode, specifics or illustrates
different sections of a Code.
 It is based on principles of science
 It has acceptance of users
 It is developed by technically sound experts and is
properly documented
WHAT IS A CODE?
 A code is a standard that has been adopted by one or
more governmental bodies
 It is a set of rules based on principles of science and
field experience of safe and successful usage
 A code has the force of law unlike standards which
are voluntarily accepted guidelines which become
mandatory only when incorporated into a business
contract or regulations
ADVANTAGES OF WORKING TO
CODES AND STANDARDS :
 They are an effective means of communication
between producers and users.
 They establish a commonality in engineering criteria,
terms, principles, practices, materials, processes, etc
 They help user follow an already proven way of doing
things.
 They ensure safety, reliability and continuity
 They minimise mismatches and promote
interchangeability
 They ecomomise the system, reduce inventory and
ensure readymade backup from market
FORMULATION OF CODES & STANDARDS
- By committees of experts who are :
 Manufacturers
 End Users
 Academicians
 Members of Governmental / Regulatory Bodies
NECESSITY OF CODES FORMULATION
 Accumulation of knowledge
 Establishing a standard way of working
 Ensuring built-in safety
 Avoiding re-working from first principles
