Water Injection Pipelines
Water Injection Pipelines
(OP)
Dear mates,
WI Pipelines are not included in the Scope of ASME B31.4, if my statement is right, what's the fabrication code to be applied.
Thanks in advance.

RE: Water Injection Pipelines
B31.3 might be the option, if you don't want to use 4. We've got some on the bid list. I'll check tomorrow what they're using there.
Independent events are seldomly independent.

"Belief" is the acceptance of an hypotheses in the absence of data.
"Prejudice" is having an opinion not supported by the preponderance of the data.
"Knowledge" is only found through the accumulation and analysis of data.
The plural of anecdote is not "data"

Please identify the para and item and then we can have a debate, a blithe statement doesn't work for me.
If you don't want to use 31.4, you could use ISO 13628 or PD 8010, which cover all fluids.
Big bro is right, you could use 31.3, but if you have long lengths you really want to use a pipeline code to save on wall thickness.
Although it is widely abused, neither 31.4 or 31.8 cover multi phase fluids or pipework from a wellhead to a separation planet - read the scope section. You are supposed to use API codes, but in practice no one does.
I would certainly use 31.4 for a water injection system.
My motto: Learn something new every day
Also: There's usually a good reason why everyone does it that way

We're proposing Carbon Steel water injection pipelines designed to B31.4

Thanks for all inputs.
