ABSTRACT
To be consistent with the purpose of this book stated in the preface, this chapter presents pipeline design in the context of principles and logic, rather than codes and standards. The latter changes with time, countries, government agencies, and in some cases, with state laws and local statutes. Therefore, in addition to the information learned from this book, the designer must understand the various standards, codes, and regulations that govern the design of particular types of pipelines in particular locations in order to create an actual design for construction.
