Pipelines and pipes

As a result of preliminary studies, it was concluded that gaps exist between existing piping and pipeline codes and standards, and hydrogen infrastructure applications. A Project Team was formed under the B31 Standards Committee to develop a new B31.12 Code for hydrogen piping and pipelines. The Project Team was subsequently restructured under the B31 Standards Committee as a Section Committee. 

The construction organization of piping and pipeline systems is responsible for providing materials, components, and workmanship in compliance with the requirements of this Code and the engineering design. 

Some of the terms relating to piping components, and the fabrication and erection of piping and pipeline systems are found in this paragraph. For additional terms relating to... 

The provisions of this paragraph are applicable to all piping and pipelines. 

For piping and pipelines made from materials that may fracture at a pressure lower than the hydrotest pressure when in service, all of the following are required ... 

Quality System Program for Hydrogen Piping and Pipeline... 

This Chapter provides requirements for development of Quality System Programs. The purpose of these programs is to ensure the required level of construction quality is achieved for all hydrogen piping and pipeline systems. 

Additional recommendations are provided in STP-ST-003, Hydrogen Standardization Interim Report for Tanks, Piping, and Pipelines (ASME, May 2005), and STP-ST-006, Design Guide for Hydrogen Piping and Pipelines (ASME, December 2007).
