Gas Compressor Codes

Dear Fellows,
I want to start on Gas Compressor branch, both, fabrication and operation. I ask you which codes I should read? API, AGA, etc.

RE: Gas Compressor Codes
After all that, then you can apply standards. API has a very stringent series that doesn't apply everywhere. NFPA has some things that apply when mixing drivers along with NEC. ANSI has piping, ASME vessels and coolers. It gets bigger and bigger when you start adding the auxillary units too.
Finally, controls. Pnuematic, electric, electronic, PLC's transmitters swithches, controls, interconnecting the driver controls with the actual compressor....
My rule is: Never try to run something on a computer that you have not run by hand (or calculator/slide rule) first. Do not jump out with a set of computer tools and expect to become an good engineer on a subject let alone an expert.
