difference between code, standard & specification
TRANSCRIPT
Code, Standard & Specification
What is Code, Standard & Specification ? • Standard
−A standard can be defined as a set of technical definitions and guidelines-“how to" instructions for designers and manufacturers.
−They serve as a common language, defining quality and establishing safety criteria.
−Examples- ASTM standard, ISO standard.
What is Code, Standard & Specification ? • Why Standard is required ?
−Standards are documents that establish engineering or technical requirements for products, practices, methods or operations.
−Build confidence about quality in users
−Lower the cost of production as requirements are standardize
What is Code, Standard & Specification ? • Code: A code is a standard that
has been adopted by one or more governmental bodies and has the force of law, or when it has been incorporated into a business contract
What is Code, Standard & Specification ? • Only if Regulatory body in your
Country has adopted said Code as law • If not, Code will server as generally
accepted guidelines for design, construction and installation
• Examples- ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code , AWS D1.1 etc.
What is Code, Standard & Specification ? • Why Code is required ?
−Providing a set of rules that specify the minimum acceptable level of safety for manufactured, fabricated or constructed objects.
−Also refer out to standards or specifications for specific details on additional requirements not specified in the Code itself.
What is Code, Standard & Specification ? • Specification
−a specific description of the design and materials used to make something.
−They are set of instructions and/or requirements over and above requirements given in Code & Standard.
What is Code, Standard & Specification ? • Specification
−Must meet requirements −Examples- Company Provided specification, Product specification
What is Code, Standard & Specification ? • Why Specification is required ?
−Specifications provide specific / additional requirements for materials, components or services above and beyond code or standard requirements
−Often generated by private companies to address additional requirements applicable to a specific product or application
Piping Code & Standard• Provide a set of requirements for a
safe, reliable and economical installation and operation throughout the life of process plant
• Provide consistent dimensions and ratings so that components will fit together
• Improve system reliability• Cost saving
ASME B31.3 Process Piping Code• Code Cover.. (Scope of
ASME B31.3 Code)−Requirements for materials−Components, −Design, −Fabrication, assembly, erection,
−Examination, inspection, and testing of piping.
Material standard• Material Standard cover..
−Manufacturing process • Open hearth (OH), electro furnace (EF), basic oxygen (BO)
• Hot/ cold drawing, forging, extruding , bending , piercing, rolling etc..
−Chemical and Mechanical Property of raw material and finished product• Carbon, Manganese, sulfur, silicon, Cr, Mo, Ni etc..• yield, tensile strength, elongation, hardness etc..
Material standard• Material Standard cover..
−Heat treatment requirements• Normalizing, stress reliving, annealing, solution annealing etc..
−Mechanical testing requirements• Tensile test, bending test, Flattening Tests, impact testing etc..
−NDT examination, inspection and testing requirements• Radiography, Dye/liquid penetrant or magnetic particle, ultrasonic, visual etc..
Material standard• Material Standard cover..
−Acceptable tolerance for imperfection
−Defect repairs• Extent of repair, method of repair and acceptance level
−Marking and certification requirements • manufacturer’s name or brand, the specification and grade, Heat no. length, dimension etc..
Material standard for Process Piping components • Material Standard cover..
−Supplementary requirements • These are the requirements mentioned in purchase order and are over and above the standard requirements as per purchasers' need.
−General requirements • Product finishing, ordering information, packing etc..
• Example- ASTM Section 01, Section 02 and Section 03
Dimension standard• Dimension Standard cover..
−Different standard for different components gives product specific requirements
• Pipe −Pipe sizes, inside and outside diameters, wall
thickness, schedules, permissible variance, markings and weight of pipe• ASME B36.10 - Welded & Seamless wrought iron pipes• ASME B36.19 - Stainless steel pipes
Dimension standard• Pipe Fittings
− sizes, inside and outside diameters, wall thickness, ratings, end preparation, tolerances and marking requirements
−Butt welded fittings;• ASME B16.9 - Factory-Made Wrought Butt welding Fittings• ASME B16.28 - Wrought Steel Butt Welding Short Radius Elbows and Returns
−Socket & Threaded fittings• ASME B16.11- Forged Steel Fittings, Socket-Welding and Threaded
Dimension standard• Flange: Pressure-temperature ratings, materials,
dimensions, tolerances, marking and testing. Flange bolting dimension and gasket requirements are also included −NPS ½ through NPS 24
• ASME B16.5 - Pipe Flanges and Flanged Fittings−NPS 26 through NPS 60
−ASME B16.47 - Large Diameter Steel Flanges
Dimension standard• Branch connection
−pressure-temperature ratings, size and types, materials, dimensions, tolerances, marking and testing• MSS SP-97
• Bolting− Included in Flange dimension standard −ASME B16.5 /B16.47
