AMSE B31.8 says it covers all piping downstream of the production separator. On gas wells, more and more fields have small wellhead compressors between the production separator and the sales meter. Does that make the (30 Hp) wellhead compressor into an ASME B31.8 Compressor station with all the requirements for ESD's, fire suppression, welded piping, etc.?
