Explain B36.10M Pipe Spec?
Answer:
This is a process piping specification. The basic idea of any such specification is that if you follow it, you know that the piping you select will be OK for the temperatures and pressures it will see in service.
This specification gives you appropriate pipe sizes and probably appropriate joint designs based on the materials, temp and pressure you select If you didn't have the B36.10M specification then you would have to do some sort of calculation or analysis for every process piping design. It should cover carbon steel pipe, it may also cover other materials but I don't know as I have not personally worked with this spec.
For a pipe to "fall under" a particular code means that when you are using that pipe in a design, you can use that code to design the piping arrangement.
B36.10M covers "welded and wrought steel pipe for high and low temperatures and pressures". If your design does not fall into this category then there are other specifications that might be appropriate. You need a P.E. who understands the codes to work with you and pick the right one.
