ASME B31G-2023

ASME B31G.2023 Edition, Manual for Determining the Remaining Strength of Corroded Pipelines

ASME B31G is a standard developed by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). It specifically addresses methods for evaluating the remaining strength of corroded pipelines. The standard is commonly used in the oil and gas industry, where pipelines are subject to corrosion over time.

The evaluation process outlined in ASME B31G involves assessing the depth and extent of corrosion in a pipeline and determining whether the remaining wall thickness is sufficient for the continued safe operation of the pipeline. The standard provides guidelines for calculating the remaining strength of corroded pipelines and offers criteria for determining whether a pipeline should be repaired, replaced, or monitored for future inspection.
