Codes & Standards both provide criteria through which pressure integrity 1
can be ensured and simplified design rules to ensure adherence to the criteria.
Many designers & engineers think that the terms code & standard are
synonymous, or at least somewhat interchangeable, but this understanding
is incorrect.

The use of specific codes for the design and construction of piping
systems is frequently mandated by statute or regulations imposed by regulatory
and enforcement agencies.
Typically codes are structured around technology or industry user lines.
For example, ASME B31.1, Power piping, covers piping system in power plants,
district distribution piping systems, and general industrial piping systems while
ASME B31.3, Process Piping, is structured around the chemical, petroleum and
petrochemical industries.
Any one of the above named industrial following a steam main serving a
petrochemical plant from a major utility’s district heating system would be
designed and constructed to ASME B31.1, up to the petrochemical plant property
line. The balance of the piping on the petrochemical plant’s property would be
designed and to ASME B31.3.
