Scope

This Code prescribes requirements for the design, materials, construction, assembly, inspection, testing, operation, and maintenance of piping transporting aqueous slurries of nonhazardous materials, such as coal, mineral ores, concentrates, and other solid materials. Piping consists of pipe, flanges, bolting, gaskets, valves, relief devices, fittings, and the pressure containing parts of other piping components. It also includes hangers and supports, and other equipment items necessary to prevent overstressing the pressure containing parts. It does not include support structures such as frames of buildings, stanchions, or foundations,or any equipment such as defined in para. 1100.1.2(b) of this Code. Also included within the scope of this Code are primary and auxiliary slurry piping at storage facilities, pipeline terminals, pump stations, and pressure reducing stations, including piping up to the first valve of attached auxiliary water lines; slurry piping, storage facilities, and other equipment located on property which has been set aside for the slurry transportation system; those aspects of operation and maintenance of slurry transportation piping systems relating to the safety and protection of the general public, operating company personnel, environment, property, and the piping systems. Rules for this Code section have been developed considering the needs for applications, which include piping transporting aqueous slurries between plants and terminals and within terminals, pumping and regulating stations.
