pipe, valves, appurtenances attached to pipe, compressor units, metering stations, regulator stations,
delivery stations, holders and fabricated assemblies.
The principles and processes are applicable to all pipeline systems. This Standard is specifically de-
signed to provide the operator (as defined in section 13) with the information necessary to develop and
implement an effective integrity management program utilizing proven industry practices and processes.
The processes and approaches within this Standard are applicable to the entire pipeline system.
B31.9 - 1996 - Building Services Piping:
This Section has rules for the piping in industrial, institutional, commercial and public buildings, and multi-
unit residences, which does not require range of sizes, pressures, and temperatures covered in B31.1
This Code prescribes requirements for the design, materials, fabrication, installation, inspection, exami-
ration and testing of piping systems for building services. It includes piping systems in the building or
within the property limits,
31.14 - 2002 - Slurry Transportation Piping System:
Rule for design, construction, inspection and security requirements of slurry piping systems. This code
covers piping systems that transport aqueous slurries of no hazardous materials, such as coal, mineral
ores and other solids between a slurry processing plant and the receiving plant. It also covers piping
transporting liquids, tank farms, natural gas processing plants, refineries, pump stations, ammonia plants,
terminals (marine, rail, and truck), and other delivery and receiving points.
B31G - 1991 - Manual for Determining Remaining Strength of Corroded Pipelines:
‘The scope of this Manual includes all pipelines within the scope of the pipeline codes that are part of
ASME B31 Code for Pressure Piping, ASME B31.4, Liquid Transportation Systems for Hydrocarbons,
Liquid Petroleum Gas, Anhydrous Ammonia, and Alcohols; ASME B31.8, Gas Transmission and Distri-
bution Piping Systems; and ASME B31.11, Siurry Transportation Piping Systems. Parts 2, 3, and 4 are
based on material in ASME Guide for Gas Transmission and Distribution Piping Systems, 1963 Exition.
1.3 - ASME Certification and Inspection Procedures:
The symbols "A", "S", "U", "PP" and "H" Stamps covers the fabrication and alteration of high pressure
boilers, unfired pressure vessels, power piping and heating boilers. Once an ASME Stamped Pressure
Vessel is manufactured, it is checked, tested and approved by the ASME Authorized Inspector, who
review all the procedures and all documentation and sign the Data Report Form before the procedure to
stamp the name plate with the “U” or “UM” symbols, which means that the Pressure Vessel fully com-
plies with the ASME Code rules for construction of Pressure Vessels.
The National Board of Boiler & Pressure Vessel Inspectors uses the “NB” Symbol as well the “R”
Symbol to repair or to alter any previous Stamped Pressure Vessel. All material used in manufacture
must be documented. All welders must be certified. Manufacturers have an Authorized Inspector, who
is the judge of code acceptability. The quality of weld is then checked for lack of weld penetration, slag
inclusion, overlap and excessive reinforcement. At the final inspection the units are hydrostatically test-
ed at 1.5 times working pressure and observed for leaks.
1.4—Imperial and Metric Values:
Professionals and students should be well versed in conversion practice. Many US customary unit
values presented in the ASME codes do not convert directly into metric values in the ASME editions.
