Description / Abstract:
INTRODUCTION
This compendium describes each ASME standard referenced in 49 of
the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 192, 49 CFR Part 193,
and 49 CFR Part 195. For each 49 CFR Part the referenced ASME
standard will be identified and, in the case of ASME B31.8S and
certain other ASME standards, the relevant text will be included in
this compendium.
It is intended that the reader of this compendium document will
be initially reviewing the federal pipeline safety regulations and
then reviewing the referenced ASME standard. This compendium
document has been structured to facilitate this usage pattern.
ASME pressure technology codes and standards are used in
numerous applications across various industrial sectors. This
compendium is intended to aggregate those pressure-related
requirements applicable to United States federal pipeline safety
regulations where ASME standards are referenced, i.e., 49 CFR Part
192, "Transportation of Natural and Other Gas by Pipeline: Minimum
Federal Safety Standards;" 49 CFR Part 193, "Liquefied Natural Gas
Facilities: Federal Safety Standards;" and 49 CFR Part 195,
"Transportation of Hazardous Liquids by Pipeline."
This compendium is not intended to be a complete standard
covering all aspects of piping safety, including design,
fabrication, installation, inspection and maintenance and should
not be considered a substitution for the application of sound
engineering judgment. Readers are encouraged to refer to the
current version of the applicable ASME standard.
