ASME B31 Insights

What is ASME B31?

ASME B31 is a series of codes and standards published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) that address pressure piping. It provides rules for the design, materials, fabrication, erection, examination, inspection, and testing of piping systems. It is used extensively in industries such as power generation, chemical processing, petroleum refining, and transportation of fluids and gases to ensure the safe and reliable operation of piping systems.
