The Code does not apply to pipeline installations which are covered by BS 8062) nor to piping systems which are covered by BS 33513). Reference should be made to 1.3 and to Table 1.

NOTE In place of the customary, but incorrect, use of the pound as a unit of force, the unit called a pound-force (abbreviation lbf) has been used in this Code. It is that force which, when acting on a body of mass one pound, gives it an acceleration equal to that of standard gravity.
