High Pressure Piping Systems.
High Pressure Piping Systems.
(OP)
Hello Folks,
We are working on a project which its design pressure and temperature exceeds ASME 2500# rating.
I noticed that the B31.3 has a Chapter IX and appendix K with the same title.
Is there any Codes/Standards/Recommended Practice/ Guides that we should consider beside B31.3?
Or any precautions while dealing with a such a high pressure systems?
We appreciate any feedback.
Cheers,
Frank

Just built a 3000# hydrogen system, used the H.P. section "K" of B31.3. Got a really good pipe system, that everybody is comfortable with.
In addition to the 100% NDE of welds, make sure that the hydrostatic test is actually performed at 1.5 times the design pressure. It is hard to get a 3-10,000 psig pump, and using them scares some pipefitters.
If there are any problems, either the NDE or the hydro, or both will catch them.
