ASME Codes and Standards Piping and Pipelines Collection

A13.1 Scheme for the Identification of Piping Systems
This Standard provides general guidance on the marking of pipes and piping systems with respect to their contents and potential hazards.

B31.1 Power Piping
This Code prescribes minimum requirements for the design, materials, fabrication, erection, test and inspection of power and auxiliary service piping systems for industrial plants.

B31.2 Fuel Gas Piping
This Code covers the design, fabrication, installation and the testing of piping systems for fuel gases used in buildings and between buildings from the meter outlet to the first pressure valve.

B31.3 Process Piping
This Code contains requirements for piping typically found in petroleum refineries; chemical, pharmaceutical, textile, paper, semiconductor and cryogenic plants; and related processing plants.

B31.4 Pipeline Transportation Systems for Liquid Hydrocarbons and Other Liquids
This Code contains requirements for piping transporting crude oil, natural gas liquids, liquefied petroleum products and other liquids between natural gas plants, refineries, and other facilities.

B31.5 Refrigeration Piping and Heat Transfer Components
This Code prescribes requirements for the materials, design, fabrication, assembly, erection, test and inspection of refrigerant, heat transfer components, and secondary coolant piping for temperatures as low as -320°F (-196°C).

B31.8 Gas Transmission and Distribution Piping Systems
This Code covers the safety aspects of operation and maintenance of gas transmission and distribution systems, gas pipelines, gas compressor stations, gas metering and other similar equipment.

B31.8S Managing System Integrity of Gas Pipelines
This Standard provides the pipeline operator with the information necessary to develop and implement an effective integrity management program utilizing proven industry practices and processes.

B31.9 Building Services Piping
This Code has rules for piping systems for building services in industrial, institutional, commercial and public buildings and multi-unit residences either in the building or within property limits.

B31.11 Slurry Transportation Piping Systems
This Code prescribes requirements for the design, materials, construction, assembly, inspection, testing, operation, and maintenance of piping transporting aqueous slurries of non-hazardous materials, such as coal, mineral ores, concentrates, and other solid materials.

B31G Manual for Determining the Remaining Strength of Corroded Pipelines
This Manual provides guidance to the designer and owner/operator for in-service acceptance of corroded pipelines constructed to the ASME B31.4, B31.8 and B31.11.

B31Q Pipeline Personnel Qualification
This Standard sets requirements for effective pipeline personnel qualification programs addressing covered tasks that impact pipeline safety and management of qualifications of pipeline personnel.

B36.10M Welded and Seamless Wrought Steel Pipe
This Standard provides dimensions of welded and seamless wrought steel pipe for high or low temperatures and pressures applications.

B36.19M Stainless Steel Pipe
This Standard provides dimensions of welded and seamless wrought stainless steel pipe for high or low temperature and pressure applications.

BPE Bioprocessing Equipment
The ASME BPE Standard standardizes specifications for the design, manufacture, installation, inspection and acceptance of equipment used in the pharmaceutical and biologic products industries.

PCC-2 Repair of Pressure Equipment and Piping
This Standard provides post-construction repair techniques for metallic pressure equipment and piping. Seventeen articles cover repair methods and techniques that include the use of welding, brazing, soldering or other methods involving metal deposit; mechanical repairs, with or without sealant; and repairs using nonmetallic means, such as nonmetallic liners and wraps, and bonding (e.g., joining by epoxy), including bonding of metallic components.

PTC 25 Pressure Relief Devices

This Code provides standards for conducting and reporting tests on reclosing and nonreclosing pressure relief devices in boilers, pressure vessels, and related piping equipment.
