Power Piping ASME Guide to B31.1 by Charles Becht. This book is based on the 2012 edition of ASME B31.1, Power Piping Code. As changes, some very significant, are made to the Code with every new edition, the reader should refer to the most recent edition of the Code for specific requirements. The purpose of this book is to provide background information and not the specific, current Code rules. The equations that are numbered in this book use the same numbers as are used in ASME B31.1. Equations that are not numbered are either not in ASME B31.1 or are not numbered therein.
