ASME B31.9:2014 pdf download.Building Services Piping.

Standards and specifications incorporated by reference in this Code are shown in Table 926.1, Mandatory Appendix I. and elsewhere. It is not considered practical to refer to a dated edition of each standard or specification 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 are 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 Code.

Engineering requirements of this Code, while considered necessary and adequate for safe design, generally employ a simplified

approach. An engineer capable of applying a more rigorous analysis shall have the latitude to do so. He must be able to demonstrate the validity of his approach.

900.1 Scope

900.1.1 Coverage and Application. This Code 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 831.1. 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.
