high pressure natural gas piping
high pressure natural gas piping
(OP)
hello fellow members
i am wondering if there is a building and welding code for high pressure natural gas piping? This will be in the state of Illinois.

Above or below ground ?
Pipe size, material and pressure ?
Who owns the pipe ?
Part of an electric power plant ?
etc ?

i will have a look in International Fuel Gas Code.
this is above ground. the pipe sizes vary from small tubing to 4 inch. mostly A106-B. Pressure is around 1500psi to 2000psi. one of our customers will own the pipe units. No this not part of any power plants.
I am almost thinking it may fall in the ASME B31.8 category.

Thank you all for your help.

Can you give a clearer indication of what this project is, who is designing it and who is building it.
so far you have said:
Its a high pressure system (1500 to 2000 psig)
Pipe size is "small tubing" to 4 inch
One of the customers will own the "pipe units" whatever they are
It's part of an underground storage unit
FYI, when you pump gas into an "underground storage unit", this is more commonly known as a depleted oil field. The gas coming back out isn't the same - it will have water and contaminants mixed in. Most underground sites feature pipes much bigger than 4".
As you're building this in the US, I think you need much more help than an internet forum can provide before you run into some serious legal trouble.

I would go for asme b31.8 as an initial good start point. You won't go far wrong.
