Synopsis
The latest industry practices in the design, inspection, maintenance, and repair of piping systems and pipelines according to ASME B31
Piping Systems & Pipeline provides instruction on the latest code and addendums governing the design, construction, and inspection of piping systems. This handy volume annotates and explains the ASME B31 piping section.
Designed as a practical guide, this book covers such topics as inspection techniques, from the most common (PT, MT, UT, RT, MFL pigs) to the most recent (AE, PED, UT pigs and multi pigs); the implementation of integrity management programs; periodic inspections and evaluation of results; and step-by-step logic for making repair decisions and selecting the applicable repair.
