ASME B31.12 provides requirements for the design, materials, fabrication, installation, testing, and inspection of piping systems for hydrogen gas, including pipelines. The code covers both onshore and offshore applications. The standard aims to ensure the safe and reliable transportation of hydrogen gas through pipelines.
The manufacturing industry runs on trust. When a factory orders a CNC mill, they know the ISO or ASME standards it will meet. For a long time, additive manufacturing was the "Wild West." Here is why ASME B3112 changes the game: asme b 3112 pdf
: Given the unique properties and risks associated with hydrogen (such as high flammability and potential for embrittlement of materials), the standard emphasizes safety factors in design and operation. ASME B31
