ASME Maintenance Codes
ASME Maintenance Codes
(OP)
It appears there is a misconception whereby maintenance of petrochemical plants use ASME B31.3.
However, I know there is a specific ASME standard relating to maintenance of petrochemical plants.
My problem is that I forget what the standard is called.
can anyone help?

RE: ASME Maintenance Codes
The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Codes address new construction. The ASME B31 Codes for Pressure piping also address new construction (however, B31.1 Power Piping has Appendix V which addresses maintenance, modification, replacement and repair of Power Plant piping systems.
The new ASME Post Construction Codes (PCC) will address the remaining life issues. Two PCC's are issued now.
