FOREWORD
It has been recognized within the pipeline industry that some sections of high-pressure pipelines,
particularly those with long service histories, may experience corrosion. It has also been recognized,
through theoretical analysis, scientific research and testing, and industry operating experience,
that some amount of metal loss due to corrosion can be tolerated without impairing the
ability of the pipeline to operate safely. In 1984, ASME published the first edition of the B31G
Manual for Determining the Remaining Strength of Corroded Pipelines. The B31G document
provided pipeline operators with a simplified evaluation method based on the results of analysis
and tests. The application of B31G has enabled pipeline operators to reliably determine safe
operating pressure levels for pipe affected by corrosion, and to determine whether repairs are
necessary in order to continue operating safely.
B31G continued to be reissued by ASME with only minor revisions over time, although other
corrosion evaluation methods had evolved since B31G’s initial publication. A majority of these
other methods are based on the same theoretical model from which the original B31G method
was derived, but may offer some refinement in accuracy. Subsequently, an effort was undertaken
to update the B31G document to recognize certain other corrosion evaluation methods that have
proven sound and that have seen successful use in the pipeline industry. Incorporation of these
other methods into a recognized Code document provides the pipeline operator or other user
with a formalized framework within which to use such methodologies, as well as a wider range
of codified technical options with which to make an evaluation. This 2009 revision of B31G
reflects those objectives. ASME B31G-2009 was approved by the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) on July 10, 2009.
