If the piping system is aboard a ship or in a chemical plant or a part of a power plant, the codes would be different.
Material selection for seawater and brine systems is tricky ... a lot depends on the degree of salinity, temperature and pH.
Depending on many factors, carbon steels and austenitic stainless steels may be a very bad choices ......
