Piping Codes
Definitions:
piping: assemblies of piping components used for fluid
flows. Piping also includes piping supporting element, but does not include support structuresor equipment..
Definitions:
Code: set forth minimum requirements for design, material,
fabrication, erection, testing, and inspection.
Provide a set of requirements for obtaining a safe, reliable and economical installation. For example: ASME B31- Code for Pressure Piping
4. Establish preliminary piping system layout and support configuration 5. Perform flexibility analysis 6. Finalize layout and bill of material 7. Fabricate and install 8. Examine and test
