EEMUA PUBLICATIONS - SUMMARY LIST

Contains modifications to standard B31.3 to allow for the use of BS specifications and to cover situations where UK practice differs from that in USA. It contains requirements of UK practice for piping applications at temperatures below 0 Deg C based on BS 5500. Coverage includes: design conditions, threaded joints, specific piping systems, weld backing material, consumable inserts, and design criteria. Also gives detailed diagrams and appendices.
