The ASME B31 Code for Pressure Piping consists of a number of individually published Sections, each an American National Standard, under the direction of ASME Committee B31, Code for Pressure Piping. Rules for each Section reflect the kinds of piping installations considered during its development.

B31.3 Process Piping: piping typically found in petroleum refineries, chemical, pharmaceutical, textile, paper, semiconductor, and cryogenic plants, and related processing plants and terminals.

This Code Section includes:
(a) references to acceptable material specifications and component standards, including dimensional requirements and pressure–temperature ratings;
(b) requirements for design of components and assemblies, including piping supports;
(c) requirements and data for evaluation and limitation of stresses, reactions, and movements associated with pressure, temperature changes, and other forces;
(d) guidance and limitations on the selection and application of materials, components, and joining methods;
(e) requirements for the fabrication, assembly, and erection of piping; and
(f) requirements for examination, inspection, and testing of piping.
