ASME B31.8

ASME B31.8 is a set of engineering standards that guides the design, construction, and maintenance of natural gas and hazardous fluid pipelines. It ensures pipelines are safe, reliable, and durable by specifying materials, construction practices, testing procedures, and inspection requirements. These standards help prevent leaks, failures, and accidents, protecting people, property, and the environment. Essentially, ASME B31.8 provides industry-wide best practices for pipeline integrity and safety management throughout the pipeline's lifecycle.
