Design parameters as a function of temperature and design temperature limits are set forth in the ANSI/ASME B31 Piping Codes for a very broad range of materials. These codes, and the additional information available from manufacturers, vendors, and technical societies such as the National Association of Corrosion Engineers provide ample data for the selection of materials for piping systems (1—13). 

Extracted from the Cbemical Plant and Petroleum Refinery Piping Code, ANSI B31.3—1980, with permission of the publisher, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, New York. These data are for information, and it is not implied that materials are suitable for all the temperatures shown. ( F — 32) 9 = C to convert pounds-force per square inch to megapascals, multiply by 0.006895. 

The design practices compiled in this volume were derived firom the literature of the American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM), the American Petroleum Institute (API), the ANSI Codes, a review of company specific literature including company design practices and general publications, and the author s personal notes compiled over the years as a consultant and practicing engineer, as well as an instructor to Venezuelan refinery and chemical plant operations.

American nationai standards institute n. (ANSI) address 1430 Broadway, New York, NY 10018. Clearinghouse and national coordinator for voluntary standards of engineering, equipment, industrial processing, and safety. Formerly known as American Standards Association (ASA). In the plastics field, ANSI works closely with the society of the plastics industry (SPI) and the society of automotive engineers (SAE) to develop and publish standards for plastics materials, processing equipment, operations, and operating safety. 

Some of the most prominent voluntary and national consensus standard organizations include the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). The major international organization that has the primary mission of developing international standards is the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
