Useful Piping Standards Piping Study. Collapse all   Expand all. Useful Standards for Piping. Useful Standards for Piping Most useful standards in mechanical industry are the ANSI American National Standard Institute standards. ASME_B31.8S-2004.jpg' alt='Asme B 31.8' title='Asme B 31.8' />Each. Codes and Standards. On global basis, American National Standards are the most widely used. In general, other than American Standards such. British ,German,Japanese,Europian and various other standards depending upon the requirement and. Piping Systems. Not all American Standards are issued directly by American National Standards Institute. Windows Git Ssh Config File. Natural Gas is lighter than air and disperses easily and harmlessly into the atmosphere. All our pipelines are constructed and maintained with the International ASME.

Most of the ASTM Standards are adapted by ASME. ASME Section II. The Section II has four parts. Part A Ferrous Materials 2. Part B Non Ferrous Materials 3. Part C Welding Materials 4. Part D Properties of Materials In Section II, the materials are listed in the index based on the available forms such as plates, castings. The selection of ASTM Specification depends on the manufacturer, form of material, its mechanical strength and. The specification number is given an Alphabetical prefix A for ferrous and B for non ferrous. ASTM also specifies standard practice for numbering metal and alloys as Unified Numbering System.
