ASME B31.8 – 2014

ASME B31.8S – 2014

ASME has been defining piping safety since 1922.

ASME’s B31.8 Gas Transmission and Distribution Piping Systems prescribes minimum requirements for gas transmission and distribution piping systems, including gas pipelines, gas compressor stations, gas metering and regulation stations, gas mains, and service lines up to the outlet of the customer’s meter set assembly. It sets out comprehensive solutions for materials, design, fabrication, assembly, erection, testing and inspection.

ASME’s B31.8S Managing System Integrity of Gas Pipelines covers on-shore, gas pipeline systems constructed with ferrous materials, including pipe, valves, appurtenances attached to pipe, compressor units, metering stations, regulator stations, delivery stations, holders and fabricated assemblies. Its principles, processes and approaches apply to the entire system for all pipeline systems.

B31.8S is specifically designed to provide the operator with the information necessary to develop and implement an effective integrity management program utilizing proven industry practices and processes. Effective system management can decrease repair and replacement costs, prevent malfunctions, and minimize system downtime.

Both of these important Codes are newly revised to reflect changes in the marketplace. They serve as companions to the other piping codes in ASME’s B31 series. Careful application of these B31 codes will help users to comply with applicable regulations within their jurisdictions, while achieving the operational, cost and safety benefits to be gained from the many industry best-practices detailed within these volumes.

Intended for manufacturers, designers, operators and owners of piping systems, plus all potential governing entities.
