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. Key changes to this revision include: ? Category M fluid service definition revised ? Revision to the equation for allowable stress range ? Thermowell design ? Use of cold spring ? Impact testing of carbon steels ? Installation of Weldolets ? Preheat requirements ? Heat treatment requirements ? Qualification of examination personnel ? Acceptance criteria for liquid penetrant an magnetic particle examination ? Leak test for high pressure piping ? Alternative rules for evaluation of stress range B31.3 is one of ASME?s most requested codes. It serves as a companion to ASME?s B31.1 Code on Power Piping as well as to the other codes in ASME?s B31 series. Together, they remain essential references for anyone engaged with piping.
