ASME B31.1

ASME B31.1 is a set of guidelines developed by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers for the design and construction of piping systems in power plants and other industrial facilities. It ensures that these systems are safe, reliable, and efficient by outlining material specifications, construction methods, inspection procedures, and safety factors. Essentially, it helps engineers create piping systems that can handle high-pressure and high-temperature operations while minimizing risks of leaks or failures, ultimately protecting workers and the environment.
