    ASME has been defining piping safety since 1922.

    ASME B31.8 covers gas transmission and distribution piping systems, including gas pipelines, gas compressor stations, gas metering and regulation stations, gas mains, and service lines up to the outlet of the customer’s meter set assembly. It includes gas transmission and gathering pipelines, including appurtenances that are installed offshore for the purpose of transporting gas from production facilities to onshore locations; gas storage equipment of the closed pipe type that is fabricated or forged from pipe or fabricated from pipe and fittings; and gas storage lines.

    This Code prescribes comprehensive solutions for materials, design, fabrication, assembly, erection, testing and inspection. It also serves as a companion to ASME’s other B31 codes on piping systems. Together, they remain essential references for anyone engaged with piping.

    Careful application of these B31 codes will help users to comply with applicable regulations within their jurisdictions, while achieving the operational, cost and safety benefits to be gained from the many industry best-practices detailed within these volumes.

    Intended for manufacturers, users, constructors, designers, pipeline operation and maintenance personnel, and regulatory personnel, plus all potential governing entities.

    Mr. Rosenfeld is an experienced consultant on the subject of oil and gas pipeline fitness-for-service; pipeline integrity; pipeline design, materials, construction, and maintenance; and pipeline regulations and standards. His experience also involved failure investigations, root cause analyses, and industry-funded research. Mr. Rosenfeld first began working on pipeline integrity matters in 1986 while at Battelle Institute. He then joined Kiefner & Associates, Inc. (KAI) in 1991, serving as President from 2002 to 2011 and then Chief Engineer, until establishing RSI in 2019.
     
    Mr. Rosenfeld is a current member of the ASME B31.8 Gas Transmission & Distribution Piping Section Committee, the ASME B31 Mechanical Design Technical Committee, the ASME B31 Standards Committee, and the ASME Board of Pressure Technology Codes & Standards. He was the primary author of the 2009 major revision to ASME B31G, is an ASME Fellow, and has authored or coauthored more than 90 publications and public presentations on pipeline-related subjects.
    This standard has been placed on stabilized maintenance. Requests and recommendations for change from any materially affected and interested party will be considered. Requests should be submitted to CSAdmin@asme.org and include the Standard designation and the rationale for the request.
