3.0 RESPONSIBILITIES

The Associate Lab Director/Division Director/Project Manager (ALD/DD/PM) or it’s designee who controls the area of operation of the piping system is responsible for carrying out the requirements of this chapter. The ALD/DD/PM or designee shall arrange for the review of required Engineering Notes by a qualified person and shall certify piping systems compliance with this chapter by signing the Engineering Notes. The Engineering Notes shall be placed into Teamcenter.

The Environment, Safety, Health, and Quality (ES&H) Division shall audit the Directorates/Divisions/Projects on their compliance to this chapter.

The Mechanical Safety Subcommittee (MSS) shall serve the ALD/DD/PM’s and ES&H Division in a consulting capacity on all piping system matters. This includes providing recommendations regarding the applicability of a standard to a given piping system. The Mechanical Safety Subcommittee may propose appropriate modifications to this chapter as necessary. Changes in policy and responsibility shall be recommended by the Fermilab Environmental, Health, and Safety Committee (FESHCom) after consulting with the ALD/DD/PM.

4.0 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

4.1 Policy

All piping systems built and/or operated at Fermilab shall be in accordance with this chapter and the appropriate governing code. See Table 1 for guidance in the selection of the appropriate governing code for common piping systems operated at Fermilab. Note that the recommendations given in Table 1 are general. Evaluation of each specific piping system (operating parameters, fluid type, environment, etc.) is necessary to determine the appropriate governing code and category.

a. When an appropriate governing code cannot be identified for a particular piping system or when a piping system falls outside the scope of the appropriate governing code, accepted engineering practice (commensurate with the piping system parameters and risk factors) shall be employed. The piping system in question is still subject to the remaining requirements of this chapter.

b. Where multiple codes apply, accepted engineering judgment shall determine the most appropriate code considering the hazards and risks of the individual piping system. At a minimum, ASME B31 Pressure Piping code series will govern for those piping systems within their respective scopes.

4.2 Documentation

An Engineering Note shall be prepared by a qualified person for all piping systems identified below (5.2.a), whether purchased or in-house built. The format of the Engineering Note is shown section 7.0.

Its purpose is to allow a reviewer to check the design and installation and to inform a future user of the piping system’s parameters.

For the piping systems built per B31 governing codes listed in Table 1, the Engineering Note shall include design calculations and manufacturer's compliance to the appropriate governing code. All code-required documentation shall be appended to the document including welding/brazing qualification records and inspection/examination records.

WARNING: This manual is subject to change. The current version is maintained on the ES&H Division website. Rev. 03/2025

For the piping systems built per EN 13480 standard, the manufacturer's final documentation package required per EN13480-5, Table 9.4-1, including all required items marked “x” or xa”, is mandatory for design verification. If CE mark must not be affixed (for SEP category) or CE mark does not bear identification by the appropriate EU/PED notified body (category I), the reviewer shall apply additional scrutiny as typically applied for the B31 series piping.

All Engineering Notes shall include calculations verifying that the piping system is protected from being operated outside the range of design pressure and temperature.

The document shall also include precautions, diagrams, documents and operation procedures necessary for the safe use of the piping system.

a. An Engineering Note must be prepared, reviewed, and approved when:

i. The piping system contains over 150,000-foot pounds (ft-lbs) of stored energy or the operating pressure is above 150 pounds per square inch (psi) for gas, or 500 psi for liquid, or the design operating temperature is above 366º F. The stored energy calculation should include all pressurized volumes connected to the piping such as pressure vessels. Excluding those piping systems temporarily erected for pressure testing purposes. These systems are subject to the Fermilab Environment, Safety, and Health Manual (FESHM) Chapter 5034, Pressure Testing. Also excluding piping systems of ½ inch Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) diameter or smaller, which are erected on the downstream side of the pressure regulator connected to a single gas cylinder and adequately protected with relief(s) below 150 psi.

ii. The piping system falls within the scope of ASME B31.3 Process Piping Code – Normal Fluid Service (excluding those piping systems containing only water).

iii. The piping system is a hydraulic (oil) piping system (primarily hydrostatic; not used for transport of the fluid) with a design operating pressure above 10,000 psi.

iv. The piping system falls within the scope of ASME B31.3 Process Piping Code – Category M.

v. The piping system has the potential for an environmental release exceeding the occurrence reporting criteria of FESHM 3010, Significant and Reportable Occurrences. This includes RAW cooling systems.

vi. The piping system is an Exceptional Piping System.

vii. The piping system is designed and manufactured per EN 13480 standard.

b. Piping systems that do not require Engineering Notes are still required to satisfy the appropriate governing code. In these cases, all code-required documentation shall be kept on file by the responsible engineer or Department Head (or their designee).

4.3 Review of piping systems

All required Engineering Notes (see 5.2.a above) shall be reviewed by an independent, qualified reviewer, other than the person who prepared it, for concurrence to this chapter. The review of the

WARNING: This manual is subject to change. The current version is maintained on the ES&H Division website. Rev. 03/2025

Engineering Note shall include review of code-required installation documentation to ensure conformance of the installation to the appropriate governing code. The engineering note reviewer should not report directly to the preparer of the note nor should he or she be able to be perceived as having a conflict of interest in reviewing the note. As a general guideline, a conflict of interest could result from the reviewer having direct involvement in the project for which the note was written.

7. Piping Systems with Additional FESHM Chapter Requirements: Some piping systems must comply with more stringent safety analyses. Additional Fermilab ES&H chapters have been written for these specific systems. The documentation and review requirements for these systems are included in the following chapters:

a. Any flammable gas system covered and reviewed under Fermilab ES&H Manual Chapter 6020.3, Storage and Use of Flammable Gases.

b. Any cryogenic system covered and reviewed under FESHM Chapter 5032, Cryogenic System Review.

4.4 Modifications to a compliant piping system

Any subsequent changes in usage or operation of a piping system (already in compliance with this chapter) shall meet the requirements of this chapter. Significant modifications impacting piping system safety, for example addition of piping components by welding or brazing, shall be pressure tested and documented in an Amendment to the original Engineering Note (for those systems requiring Engineering Notes). This Amendment shall be reviewed in the same manner as the original note and requires ALD/DD/PM approval. A new piping engineering note form shall be created for each revision.

4.5 Director's Exception

Exception to the provisions of this chapter shall be allowed only with the approval of the Laboratory Director or his designee and documented in the Engineering Note. The need for such exceptions is to be minimized by adherence to the provisions of this chapter. Exceptions are to be identified and submitted to the Director for review as early in the design process as possible. These exceptions shall only be allowed after the Director is assured that sound engineering practice will be followed during design, fabrication and testing of the piping system. Amendments to exceptional piping engineering notes require the Director’s approval if the changes documented by the amendment are in exception to the provisions of this chapter. Amendments to exceptional piping engineering notes which document changes in compliance with this chapter requires ALD/DD/PM approval.

5.0 PROCEDURES - DESIGN, FABRICATION, INSPECTION AND TEST

5.1 Purchased Piping Systems & Components

All piping systems and components purchased by Fermilab or its experimenters shall be constructed in accordance with this chapter. The purchaser shall provide a summary of the listed components and their certifications to applicable construction standards in the engineering note. The purchaser is also responsible for specifying the technical requirements and collecting the associated technical documentation necessary to be able demonstrate that the construction of unlisted components conforms to the piping Code and this chapter. In some cases, the construction steps will be performed, and documentation will be generated by a combination of both the manufacturer and the purchaser.

WARNING: This manual is subject to change. The current version is maintained on the ES&H Division website. Rev. 03/2025

Examples of typical design and quality assurance specifications and requirements for purchased systems and components may include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Applicable piping Code and Fluid Service Category

• Required pressure-temperature ratings

• Material specifications and certifications

• Design drawings

• Design calculations

• Welder and weld procedure specifications and qualifications

• Weld inspection, examination, and testing results

• Pressure & leak testing results

• Pressure relieving requirements

• Interlock specification and validation

Upon receiving, the unlisted piping components and purchased piping systems shall be visually inspected by an Owner Inspector to verify conformance to the requirements of the purchasing technical specifications.

5.2 In-House Built Piping Systems

All pressure piping systems built at Fermilab or experimenter's shops shall be designed and fabricated in accordance with this chapter. Welding/brazing executed at Fermilab shall be done in accordance with the appropriate governing code requirements including applicable welding qualification and inspection/examination requirements. When an appropriate governing code cannot be identified for a particular piping system or when a piping system falls outside the scope of the appropriate governing code, accepted welding/brazing fabrication procedures (commensurate with the piping system parameters and risk factors) shall be employed.

5.3 Existing Piping Systems in Service

All such piping systems must be in accordance with this chapter. Piping systems with unknown histories shall be reviewed and documented in accordance with this chapter except that they may be retested per the Leak Test section of this chapter (see 5 below) in lieu of detailed welding qualification records and non-visual examination/inspection records. Acceptance of this substitution is subject to the reviewer’s discretion.

5.4 4. Reclaimed Piping Systems Used piping systems shall be classified as an existing piping system and will have their previous service taken into account during the review process. Used piping systems or components that have been reclaimed, moved to a new location, or put into new service require either the creation of a new piping engineering note or an amendment to an existing piping engineering note.

5.5 Leak Test

All piping systems shall be leak tested, either at Fermilab or at the vendor’s, site as required by the appropriate governing code. When an appropriate governing code cannot be identified for a particular piping system or when a piping system falls outside the scope of the appropriate governing code, accepted engineering practice (commensurate with the piping system parameters and risk factors) shall determine leak test requirements. Used piping systems or components that have been reclaimed, moved to a new location, or put into new service shall meet the same leak test requirements as new

WARNING: This manual is subject to change. The current version is maintained on the ES&H Division website. Rev. 03/2025 construction. Unmodified piping between a pressure vessel and the first flange or isolation valve need not be leak tested provided the service is unchanged.

a. The initial service test is considered the leak test for ASME B31.3 Category D piping systems.

No safety officer oversight per FESHM 5034 is required for pressure testing piping systems in this category.

b. The leak test for Low Stress Piping shall be performed with room temperature fluid using a final test pressure no less than 80% of the relief device set pressure. All requirements of FESHM 5034, including the workflow defined in Section 6.0, shall apply to the leak test. At a minimum, a gross leak test shall be performed while adhering to the following procedure:

• The pressure shall be gradually increased until the pressure reaches the lesser of one half the final test pressure or 25 psig is attained, at which point a preliminary leak check of all joints and connections shall be made.

• Thereafter, the pressure shall be gradually increased in steps until the final test pressure is reached, holding the pressure at each step long enough to equalize piping strains.

• The final leak test pressure shall be maintained for at least 10 min and then all joints and connections shall be examined for leaks.

The required leak test sensitivity to ensure that the piping system can be safely operated at the full design pressure shall be assessed in the engineering note. Supplemental sensitive leak test techniques as described in ASME B31.3 345.8 may be used to achieve the leak test sensitivity required by the engineering design.

c. Internally pressurized tests as described in ASME B31 Codes for externally pressurized pipe are not required for ASME B31.3 Category D and B31.9 vacuum jackets and vacuum piping.

Standard sensitive leak tests using tracer gases satisfy the leak test requirements of this chapter.

No safety officer oversight per FESHM 5034 is required for these tests.

d. All other piping systems requiring leak tests shall be leak tested as described per FESHM 5034.

In case of conflicts between the appropriate governing code and FESHM 5034, the more restrictive or conservative procedure will be followed.

e. If a proof test is required for a non-listed component, which does not have a documented pressure rating by the manufacturer:

i. Prior to proof testing, a basis for the pressure rating shall be determined using an appropriate governing code or analysis.

ii. The proof test shall be conducted in accordance with all requirements and guidelines of FESHM Chapter 5034. Proof tests shall be performed hydrostatically to minimize the stored energy.

iii. When a component is proof tested to establish the MAWP of duplicate or geometrically-similar components, the MAWP is established following the rules of the ASME BPVC

WARNING: This manual is subject to change. The current version is maintained on the ES&H Division website. Rev. 03/2025

UG-101(m), ASME B16.9, or other appropriate code. These methods account for component-to-component variations in tensile strength and fabrication.

iv. When the component being proof tested will be put into service, there are no component-to-component variations in tensile strength or fabrication to consider.

(1) If the allowable stresses at the proof test temperature and at the service temperature are equal, the MAWP = proof test pressure / 4.

(2) If the allowable stresses at the proof test temperature and at the service temperature are not equal, the MAWP = (proof test pressure / 4) x (SServiceTemp / STestTemp) where SServiceTemp is the allowable stress at the service temperature and STestTemp is the allowable stress at the proof test temperature.

(3) If the service temperature is below the minimum material temperature, exemption from impact test requirements may require further de-rating (as per ASME BPVC UHA- 51(g), for example) of the component. If UHA-51(g) is applied, then one of the following methods shall be used:

(a) Qualification of unlisted components for which the MAWP cannot be calculated:

(i) MAWP = (proof test pressure / 4) x (0.35*SServiceTemp / STestTemp)

(b) Qualification of unlisted components for which the MAWP can be calculated, but fabrication and inspection requirements cannot be verified:

(i) MAWP = (proof test pressure /4) x (SServiceTemp / STestTemp)

(ii) Calculations shall be provided demonstrating all primary membrane tensile stresses are less than 35% of the allowable stress at minimum service temperature and maximum design pressure. The Experiment Vessel MAWP shall be less than 35% of the piping component MAWPs specified by the piping component manufacturers.

(iii) All accessible welds shall be visually examined internally and externally by an Inspector qualified per ASME B31.3 340.4. Defective welds shall be repaired per ASME B31.3 341.3.3 prior to the proof test

(iv) A sensitive leak test per ASME B31.3 345.8 shall be performed before and after the proof test to demonstrate leak tightness

5.6 Component Identification

Components on piping systems shall be labeled as required by the appropriate governing code. It is also recommended that components on all piping systems that require Engineering Notes be labeled to correspond to an up-to-date piping and instrument diagram (P&ID). Labels should be permanent, securely attached and easy to read. Each component label should list a unique component number for that system. Guidance may be obtained from American National Standards Institute (ANSI) A13.1 "Scheme for Identification of Piping Systems".
