piping codes & standards

list of standards The integrity of a piping system depends on the considerations and principles used in design, construction and maintenance of the system. Piping systems are made of many components as pipes, flanges, supports, gaskets, bolts, valves, strainers, flexibles and expansion joints. The components can be made in a variety of materials, in different types and sizes and may be manufactured to common national standards or according a manufacturers proprietary item. Some companies even publish their own internal piping standards based upon national and industry sector standards. Piping code s and standards from standardization organizations as ANSI, ASME, ISO , DIN and othe rs, are the m ost com m on use d in pipe s and piping syste m s spe cifications. The diffe re nce be twe e n piping code s and piping standards can be de fine d as:

Piping Codes
Piping code s de fine s the re quire m e nts of de sign, fabrication, use of m ate rials, te sts and inspe ction of pipe s and piping syste m s. A code has a lim ite d jurisdiction de fine d by the code .

Piping Standards
Piping standards de fine application de sign and construction rule s and re quire m e nts for piping com pone nts as flange s, e lbows, te e s, valve s e tc.
