hi guys,

Could anyone tell me the Standards and Codes applied for piping system on oil rig, platform,FPSO,etc?
Is ASME B31.3 or B31.1 still applicable?
One more thing, what are the usual piping systems that can be found on such locations mentioned above? What i mean are in terms of equipment, process requirements,pipe sizes,valves,special piping components and special requirements.
Thank you in advance.

regards,
Ajak JB

I've never done offshore piping but
31.1 is Power Piping code so it should not be applicable.

i'm aware of that...B31.1 is for Power Piping...but if i'm not mistaken, there is one section in B31.1 that points out on offshore piping or petroleum related piping...correct me if i'm wrong since i've never go thoroughly on B31.1...

ASME B31.4 - Pipeline Transportation Systems for Liquid Hydrocarbons and Other Liquids
ASME B31.8 - Gas Transmission and Distribution Piping Systems

Both contain sections relating to offshore piping
ASME B31.1 does not.
