RE: Does feed water piping come under the purview of ANSI B31.1 or 31 .3

If for off-shore piping, may refer to API RP14E - Recommended Practice for Design and Installation of Offshore Production Platform Piping Systems.

Thanks Steve,

This specific situation is a petroleum well that needs water injection to increase the pressure in the reservoir for extraction. Therefore wich code shall I apply?.

I read B31.3 scope and its out of the plant.

I read B31.4 and the scope does not include water as an auxiliary service.

I hope this will clarify the situation.

Ivan.
