The ASME Pipeline Standards Compendium is intended to aid users of the pipeline safety regulations promulgated by Parts 192, 193, and 195 of Title 49 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations. It describes each referenced ASME standard in plain language and also provides relevant technical excerpts. The ASME Pipeline Standards Compendium is not intended to be a complete standard covering all aspects of piping safety and should not be considered a substitution for the application of sound engineering judgment. Users are encouraged to refer to the most recent edition of the applicable ASME standard for additional information.
