While referring ASME B 31.3 code we come across various types of fluid services. In day to day engineering design activities we normally design and construct systems following rules of Normal Fluid service. Category M fluid service is different from normal fluid service. As defined in clause 300.2 of ASME B 31.3 Category M Fluid
What is Engineering Process Safety?
Process Safety is defined as “a discipline that focuses on the prevention of fires, explosions, and accidental chemical releases at chemical process facilities”. So it is a disciplined framework for managing the integrity of operating systems and processes that handle hazardous substances. It relies on good design principles, engineering and operating and maintenance practices. It

What is Severe Cyclic Conditions as per Process Piping Code?
Severe cyclic is not a fluid service. It is a condition where fatigue failures are more likely so that additional precautions against fatigue failure are taken. As per ASME B 31.3 it is a conditions applying to specific piping components or joints for which the owner or the designer determines that construction to better resist
