ASME B31.3 ** New 2012 Edition
ASME B31.3 contains requirements for piping typically found in petroleum refineries (for chemical,
pharmaceutical, textile, paper, semiconductor, and cryogenic plants) and related processing plants.
Intended for manufacturers, users, constructors, designers, and others concerned with the design,
fabrication, assembly, erection, examination, inspection, and testing of piping, plus all potential
governing entities, this revised standard covers materials & 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 which interconnects pieces or stages within a packaged
equipment assembly.
B31.3 is one of ASME's most popular codes, widely adopted by jurisdictions worldwide. 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. 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.

Document Abstract
--------------------------------
Scope:
Rules for the Process Piping Code Section B31.31 have been developed considering piping typically
found in petroleum refineries; chemical, pharmaceutical, textile, paper, semiconductor, and cryogenic
plants; and related processing plants and terminals.
Content and Coverage.
(a) This Code prescribes requirements for materials and components, design, fabrication, assembly,
erection, examination, inspection, and testing of piping.
(b) 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
(6) cryogenic fluids
(c) See Fig. 300.1.1 for a diagram illustrating the application of B31.3 piping at equipment. The joint
connecting piping to equipment is within the scope of B31.3.
Packaged Equipment Piping.
Also included within the scope of this Code is piping which interconnects pieces or stages within a
packaged equipment assembly.
Exclusions.
This Code excludes the following:
(a) piping systems designed for internal gage pressures at or above zero but less than 105 kPa (15
psi), provided the fluid handled is nonflammable, nontoxic, and not damaging to human tissues as
defined in 300.2, and its design temperature is from ?29°C (?20°F) through 186°C (366°F)
(b) power boilers in accordance with BPV Code2 Section I and boiler external piping which is
required to conform to B31.1
(c) tubes, tube headers, crossovers, and manifolds of fired heaters, which are internal to the heater
enclosure
(d) pressure vessels, heat exchangers, pumps, compressors, and other fluid handling or processing
equipment, including internal piping and connections for external piping
