ASME B31.3 (Process Piping)

ASME B31.3 is a standard that sets safety and quality guidelines for designing, fabricating, and inspecting process piping systems used in industries like chemical, petroleum, and power plants. It ensures pipes handling chemicals, gases, or liquids operate safely, reliably, and efficiently. The code covers materials, welding, testing, and inspection requirements to prevent leaks, failures, or accidents. Adhering to ASME B31.3 helps protect workers, the environment, and infrastructure by promoting best practices and consistent, high-quality piping system construction.
