2.1.2.4 ASME Standard Reference The CFR references ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division I, “Rules for Construction of Pressure Vessels” in its entirety and ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIlI, Division 2,“Alternative Rules, Rules for Construction of Pressure Vessels” in its entirety. 2.1.2.5 CFR Language: 192.153(d) (d) Except for flat closures designed in accordance with Section VII of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Code, flat closures and fish tails may not be used on pipe that either operates at 100 psi (689 kPa) gage, or more, or is more than 3 inches (76 millimeters) nominal diameter. 2.1.2.6 ASME Standard Reference The CFR references ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division I,“Rules for Construction of Pressure Vessls” in its entirety and ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code, Section VllI, Division 2,“Alternative Rules, Rules for Construction of Pressure Vessels” in its entirety. 2.1.3 CFR Reference: 192.165 Compressor Stations: Liquid Removal 2.1.3.1 CFR Language: 192.165(b)(3) (b) Each liquid separator used to remove entrained liquids at a compressor station must: (3) Be manufactured in accordance with Section VIII of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, except that liquid scparators constructed of pipe and fitings without internal welding must be fabricated with a design factor of 0.4, or less. 2.1.3.2 ASME Standard Reference The CFR references ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division I, “Rules for Construction of Pressure Vessels” in its entirety and ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code, Section VII, Division 2,“Alternative Rules, Rules for Construction of Pressure Vessels” in its entirety. 2.2 Welding of Steel in Pipelines 2.2.1 CFR Reference: 192.227 Qualification of Welders 2.2.1.1 CFR Language: 192.227(a) (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, each welder must be qualified in accordance with Section 6 of API 1104 (incorporated by reference, see 192.7) or Section IX of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (incorporated by reference, see 192.7). However, a welder qualified under an earlier edition than listed in 192.7 of this part may weld but may not requalify under that carlier edition. 2.2.1.2 ASME Standard Reference The CFR references ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code, Section IX,“Welding and Brazing Procedures, Welders, Brazers, and Welding and Brazing Operators” in its entirety.
2.5 Operations 2.5.1 CFR Reference: 192.619 What is the Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure for Steel or Plastic Pipelines? 2.5.1.1 CFR Language: 192.619(a)(1)0) (a) No person may operate a segment of steel or plastic pipeline at a pressure that exceeds a maximum allowable operating pressure determined under paragraph (c) or (d) of this section, or the lowest of the following: (1) The design pressure of the weakest element in the segment, determined in accordance with subparts C and D of this part. However, for steel pipe in pipeline being converted under 192.14 or uprated under subpart K of this part, if any variable necessary to determine the design pressure under the design formula (192.105) is unknown, one of the following pressure is to be used as design pressure: (i) Eighty percent of the first test pressure that produces yield under Section N5 of Appendix N of ASME B31.8 (incorporated by reference, se 192.7), reduced by the appropriate factor in paragraph (a)(2)(i) of this section; or 2.5.1.2 ASME Standard Language The CFR references ASME B31.8“Gias Transmission and Distribution Piping Systems”, AppendixN. For user convenience, Appendix N of B3 I .8 has been included below. 2.5.1.2.1 Recommended Practice for Hydrostatic Testing of Pipelines in Place (B31.8 – Nonmandatory Appendix N) 2.5.1.2.1.1 Introduction (B31.8- N-1) The purpose of the recommended practice is to cite some of the important steps that should be taken in hydrostatic testing of in-place pipelines. It is intended to provide basic guidelines only. The portions of this recommended practice, which covers the determination of the pressure at which the pipe specified minimum yield strength is reached, are only used when such determination is needed. 2.5.1.2.1.2 Planning (B31.8-N-2) (a) All pressure tests shall be conducted with due regard for the safety of people and property. When the test pressure is above 400 psig (2,760 kPa), appropriate precautions shall be taken to keep people not engaged in the testing operations out of the testing area while conducting the hydrostatic test. (b) Selection ofTest Sections and Test Sites. The pipeline may need to be divided into sections for testing to isolate areas with different test pressure requirements, or to obtain desired maximum and minimum test pressures duc to hydrostatic head differential. The elevation at the test site, the high point and low point of the isolated area, must be known to maintain the specified pressure at the maximum and the minimum clevations. (C) Water Source and Water Disposal. A water source, as well as location(s) for water disposal, should be selected well in advance of the testing. Federal, state, and local regulations should be checked to ensure compliance with respect to usage and/or disposal of the water. In disposing of the water after testing, care should be taken to prevent damage to crops and excessive erosion or contamination of streams, rivers, or other waterbodies including groundwater.
