Can anyone tell me wich code is applicable to the buried pipe module. I'm trying to investigate if the Dutch buried pipe codes NEN3650 & NEN3651 can be translated to the applicable American codes.
Also I like to read about this topic. Can anyone suggest required reading.

Both B31.4 and B31.8 address fully-restrained (i.e. buried) lines. I'm not familiar with the Dutch code you reference, so I'm not sure how these codes would relate to each other.

Published material on this subject is rare. If you have a company library, check out PipeLine Industry, circa 1976, 1978, and 1985.
