Asme B31.3 Edition 2010

This book is based on the 2004 Edition of ASME B31.3, Process Piping Code. Because changes, some very significant, are made to the Code every edition, the reader. 2010 Edition of B31.3 Process Piping Code: A First Equation for Stress Due to Sustained Loads.

ASME B31.3 requires leak testing of all piping systems other than Category D systems. For piping in Category D Fluid Service, the piping may (at the Owner's option) be put in service without a leak test and examined for leakage during the initial operation of the system. This is an initial service leak test.
