I have a law/code question. I work in the state of Georgia and under law there are 8 mandatory codes and 2 permissive codes (as stated on the state of GA DCA website). In the codes I cannot find where pressure piping is specifically talked about.
The main codes I looked in are International Building Code (IBC) and the International Mechanical Code (IMC).
I know ASME B31 is a good resource for pressure piping, but I have not seen where it is required or referenced. The closest connection I have made is in the IMC, where it talks about pressure vessels and their piping. Section 1003.2 states piping shall be designed for specific application and shall be approved.
In the end I want to know what the law states pressure piping shall be built to.
Thanks,
