Abstract: USAS B31.8 Gas Transmission and Distribution Piping Systems is the basic document for minimum standards of design, fabrication, installation, operations and testing used in the Gas Industry. This code is a living code and hence, revised periodically to reflect developments in materials, constructions and usage. Some of the pending revisions to B31.8-1968 dealing with pressure control which have been approved will be discussed later on. Although B31.8 was developed by and for the Gas Industry and set up as a voluntary standard, it is now mandatory for all practical purposes as a result of Federal legislation. At the urging of the U. S. Department of Transportation all but a couple of the fifty Stales have adopted it in some form. Some as is and others with additional provisions. By DOT decree, those States which have not adopted their own State codes are also governed by the requirements of B31.8.
