Applicable ASME Code for Preinsulated Buried Piping - 08/24/11 03:20 AM

Good Day to all.

Which ASME code is applicable for doing Insulated Buried Piping Analysis? Is it B31.1, B31.3 or B31.4?

The maximum Operating Temp is only 4C and max Operating Pressure is only 10 bars.

Thanx for the help

could be either B31.1 or B31.3 If the fluid is steam consider B31.1 also the owner should really choose the code or the local buiding authority....
