In the majority of industrial projects, the applicable design code is not selected arbitrarily: it is defined by the nature of the system, the owner’s requirements, and the project basis documents. However, understanding the differences between ASME B31.1 and ASME B31.3 remains essential, as key aspects of piping design, fabrication, inspection, and commissioning depend on […]

In the design of piping systems for industrial plants, supports and guides are key elements to ensure mechanical integrity, operability, and the service life of the system. Based on our experience in piping engineering, inadequate support design can lead to excessive stresses, flange leaks, overloads on connected equipment, or recurring vibration and maintenance issues. Support […]
