    OIL AND GAS

    PIPING CODES AND STANDARD


    TOG
    Piping codes

    • The following standards from the American


    National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the
    American Soc. of Mechanical Engineers
    (ASME) specify wall-thickness requirements.
    ANSI/ASME
    • ANSI/ASME Standard B31.1, Power
    Piping. This standard applies to steam piping
    systems.
    • ANSI/ASME Standard B31.3, Chemical Plant
    and Petroleum Refinery Piping. This standard
    applies to major facilities onshore and
    offshore worldwide.
    • ANSI/ASME Standard B31.4, Liquid
    Transportation Systems for Hydrocarbons,
    Liquid Petroleum Gas, Anhydrous Ammonia,
    and Alcohols.  This standard applies to
    onshore oil pipeline facilities.
    • ANSI/ASME Standard B31.8, Gas Transmission
    and Distribution Piping Systems.
    •  This standard applies to gas transmission,
    gathering, and distribution pipelines onshore.
    • In the U.S, piping on offshore facilities is
    mandated by regulation to be done in
    accordance with ANSI/ASME Standard B31.3.
    • Most onshore facilities are designed in
    accordance with ANSI/ASME Standard B31.4
    or B31.8, depending on whether it is an oil or
    gas facility respectively.
    • Some companies use the more stringent
    ANSI/ASME Standard B31.3 for onshore
    facilities.
    Pipe materials - basics

    • For petroleum applications, pipe materials that


    meet American Petroleum Inst. (API), American
    Soc. for Testing and Materials (ASTM), ASME, and
    ANSI standards are used most often.
    • All of these standards have very rigid design,
    specification, chemistry, and testing
    standardization and manufacturing requirements.
    • Modern steel pipe manufactured to these exacting
    standards assures both high quality and safety in
    design.
    • Steel pipe is available in a variety of
    commercial sizes ranging from nominal 1/8 up
    to 60 in. or greater. 
    • The “nominal” commercial pipe sizes from 1/8
    through 12 in. refer to the approximate ID
    measurement of Schedule 40 or “standard”
    wall, whereas nominal 14 in. and larger sizes
    refer to the outside diameter.
    • A variety of steel pipe sizes, wall thicknesses,
    and material grades are available for
    petroleum piping and pipeline applications.
    • The original design process of calculating a
    suitable pipe schedule number first devised in
    1939 has since evolved into selecting an
    appropriate pipe schedule for an application.
    • The original intent of the Pipe Schedule
    System was that all pipe diameters within a
    pipe schedule designation such as Schedule 40
    would have the same burst and working
    pressure ratings.
    • Since then, other factors, such as materials
    strength and temperature effects, have
    entered the picture such that designers use
    validated physical data to select the right pipe
    schedule for an application.
    Original Pipe Schedule Calculation

    • Step 1.
    Define the original pipe schedule calculation.
    The accepted formula is Schedule Number =
    1,000 x (P/S) where P = internal pressure,
    pounds-per-square-inch-gauge (psig) and S =
    allowable fiber stress (ultimate tensile
    strength of the steel in psi).
    • Step 2.
    Rearrange terms to solve for P, assuming
    schedule number and S are known. Therefore
    P = Schedule number x S/1,000
    • Step 3.
    Calculate P based on Schedule 40 steel
    pipe, and an S value of 65,300-psi for mild
    steel pipe. Therefore, P = 40 x
    65,300/1,000 = 2,612-psi.
    This is reasonable, based on a current-day
    published value of 2,849-psi for 1-inch
    Schedule 40 steel pipe.
