Does anyone know the standard (ASME B31.3?) for oxygen pipe, or piping specification (material, prssure rate, temperature, installation, inspection)? Where could I find that stuff?
Thanks in advance.

With pure oxygen i know that you should be carefull with your piperouting. A sharp bend shhotly afer valve could create a situation where the pzygen "burns" through the pipe very fast.

Robin - Look in the "Piping Handbook" under cryogenic systems. Another good reference is "Materials Selection for the Chemical Process Industries".

MOST operators use austenitic stainless for LO2 systems.
