ASME has been defining piping safety since 1922
ASME B31.3 contains requirements for piping typically found in petroleum refineries; chemical, pharmaceutical, textile, paper, semiconductor, and cryogenic plants; and related processing plants and terminals. It covers materials and components, design, fabrication, assembly, erection, examination, inspection, and testing of piping.
This Code applies to piping for all fluids including:
(1) Raw, intermediate, and finished chemicals
(2) Petroleum products
(3) Gas, steam, air and water
(4) Fluidized solids
(5) Refrigerants; and
(6) Cryogenic fluids.
Also included is piping that interconnects pieces or stages within a packaged equipment assembly.
