Description
For scientific design of Piping Systems, selection of proper material of construction and to detail out the material specifications, knowledge of Codes and Standards is essential. Standardization can, and does, reduce cost, inconvenience, and confusion that result from unnecessary and undesirable differences in systems, components and procedures. Industry standards are published by professional societies, committees and trade organizations. A code is basically a standard that has been generally accepted by the government. The objective of each code is to ensure public and industrial safety in a particular activity or equipment. Codes are often developed by the same organization that develops standards. These organizations also develop good engineering practices and publish as Recommended Practices. The intent of these documents is misunderstood since definitions of Codes, Standards and Recommended Practices are not always correctly understood. The following definitions are generally accepted.
