Hello,

It is owner/client’s responsibility to designate High Pressure Piping Service as addressed in Code B31.3. Shall engineering company provide suggestion and/or detail information about the advantages and disadvantages between the Chapter IX and the base Code (Chapter I thru VI) to help the client make decision? I believe that owner shall make a decision whether to go with Chapter IX or not based on their own risk analysis and operating experiences. If they cannot make the decision, then ask engineering firm to evaluate the impact of it.

Can I get valuable advice from seniors about this, please?

Thanks,
