ASME B31.9:2014 pdf download.Building Services Piping.
This Iiuilding Services Piping Code is a Section of The American Society of Mechanical Engineers Code for Pressure Piping. R31. This Section, herein called the Code, is published as a separate document for convenience.
Standards and specifications i rporated by reference in this Code are shown in Table 92h.1, Mandatory Appendix 1. and elsewhere. It is not considered practical to refer to .1 dated edition of each standard or specihcaticm where referenced. Instead, the dated edition references are included in Mandatory Appendix lii.
The user is cautioned that the local building code must be observed and adhered to when Its requirements arc more stringent than those of this Code
Components of piping systems shall conform to the specifications and standards listed in this Code. Piping elements neither specifically approved nor specifically prohibited by this Code may be used provided they are qualified for use as set forth in applicable chapters of this Cede.
Engineering requirements of this Code, while considered necessary and adequate for sale design. generally empkw a simplified approach. An engineer capable of applying a more rigorous analysis shall have the Latitude to do so. lie must be able to demonstrate tlw validity of his approach.
900.1 Scope
900.1.1 Coverage and Application. This Cede Section has rules for the piping in industrial, institutional, commercial, and public buildings, and multi-unit residences, which does not require the range of sizes, pressures. and temperatures covered in B31.l. This Code prescribes requirements for the design. materials, fabrication. installation, inspection, examination, and testing of piping systems for building services. It includes piping systems in the building or within the property limits.
