The Fundamentals of Piping Design Volume 1
The Fundamentals of Piping Design Volume 1
This Book The Fundamentals of Piping Design Volume 1 .In the new computer-aided design (CAD) era, the compliance to industry codes, standards, and specifications remains essential for the successful completion of a process facility, safe operation, and the satisfaction
of health, safety, and environmental (HSE) requirements.
The chapter is divided into the following sections:
1.1 Introduction
1.2 Definitions
1.3 Codes
1.4 Standards and Specifications
Compliance to a code generally is mandatory, imposed by regulatory and enforcement agencies or their representatives. Also, the insurance company for the facility requires the owner to comply with the requirements of the relevant code or codes to ensure the safety of the workers and the general public. Compliance to standards normally required by the rules of the applicable code or the purchaser’s
specification

A vast majority of these codes, standards, and specifications have their origins in the United States, because initially this is where the most oil and gas activity was based. This is not likely to change in the near future; however, in recent years, there has been an increase in the alignment with ISO, and this is likely to increase.
Despite the strength of U.S. codes, standards, and specifications, similar documents from other engineering centers should not be ignored, like British standards (UK), DIN (Germany), AFNOR (France), JIS (Japan), and others.
A code identifies the general requirements for the design, materials, fabrication, erection, test, and inspection of process piping systems. For example, ASME B31.3-Process Piping is classified as a design code.
