ASME B31.8–2010

ASME has been defining piping safety since 1922.

ASME B31.8 covers gas transmission and distribution piping systems,including gas pipelines, gas compressor stations, gas metering andregulation stations, gas mains, and service lines up to the outlet of the customer’s meter set assembly. It includes gas transmission andgathering pipelines, including appurtenances that are installed offshorefor the purpose of transporting gas from production facilities to onshore locations; gas storage equipment of the closed pipe type thatis fabricated or forged from pipe or fabricated from pipe and fittings;and gas storage lines.

Key changes to this revision include the addition of metric values, expanding low temperature coverage, and addition of new materials.

This code prescribes comprehensive solutions for materials, design,fabrication, assembly, erection, testing and inspection. It also servesas a companion to ASME’s other B31 codes on piping systems. Together, they remain essential references for anyone engaged withpiping.

Careful application of these B31 codes will help users to complywith applicable regulations within their jurisdictions, while achievingthe operational, cost and safety benefits to be gained from the manyindustry best-practices detailed within these volumes.

Intended for manufacturers, users, constructors, designers, pipelineoperation and maintenance personnel, and regulatory personnel, plusall potential governing entities.

ASME Codes and Standards

ASME is the leading international developer of codes andstandards associated with the art, science, and practice of mechanical engineering. Starting with the first issuance of its legendary Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code in 1914,ASME’s codes and standards have grown to nearly 600 offerings currently in print.
