Flares engineering standards

Flared, flareless, and compression-type tubing joints may be used. The tubing components and joints shall be suitable for maximum and minimum wall thickness tubing and pressure-temperature limitations designated by the manufacturer or ANSI-approved standards. In addition to the requirements specified by the engineering design, the joints shall be qualified for use under severe cyclic conditions. 

Reporting is required for facilities that emit GHGs of 25,000 metric tons or more of C02e per year (approximately equal to 170,000 standard cubic foot per day of vented methane, 65 100-HP engines operating at full load, or one 900 standard cubic foot per minute flare).
