1. General Introduction

• What's Piping?
• What's Pipe?

ASME B31.3
Piping: assemblies of piping components used to convey, distribute, mix, separate, discharge, meter, control, or snub fluid flows. Piping also includes pipe-supporting elements, but does not include support structures, such as building frames, bents, foundations, or any equipment excluded from this Code (see para. 300.1.3).
Pipe: a pressure-tight cylinder used to convey a fluid or to transmit a fluid pressure, ordinarily designated "pipe" in applicable material specification. Materials designated "tube" or "tubing" in the specifications are treated as pipe when intended for pressure service.
