B31.1 (Power Piping)

ASME B31.1, known as the Power Piping Code, sets safety and design standards for piping systems primarily used in power plants and similar facilities. It ensures pipes handling high-pressure, high-temperature fluids are properly designed, fabricated, inspected, and maintained to prevent leaks, failures, or accidents. The code covers materials, welding, testing, and installation practices, helping protect workers, the environment, and the public by promoting reliable and safe piping systems within energy and power generation industries.
