ASME Codes and Standards for Piping and Valves: Engineering Applications in Hydrogen, Renewable, and Conventional Energy Systems offers a comprehensive overview of ASME B31 and B16 standards, providing in-depth explanations and practical guidance for designing, constructing, and maintaining piping and valve systems across diverse energy sectors. Covering fundamentals to advanced design, fabrication, inspection, and testing, the book addresses standards such as B31.1, B31.3, B31.4, B31.8, and B31.12, along with B16 fittings, flanges, and valves. Special emphasis is placed on hydrogen piping, geothermal, biomass, and carbon capture applications, with dedicated chapters on material requirements, fabrication, and operational considerations. Rich with case studies and illustrations, this volume equips engineers and professionals with the knowledge to meet current industry standards, ensuring safety, efficiency, and sustainability in modern energy systems. The book begins with an introduction to ASME codes, followed by fundamental concepts in piping systems, valve types, and classifications. It then covers pipe fittings, flanges, and flange integrity, before exploring pressure piping design in ASME B31.3, including stress analysis, support design, and load considerations. The subsequent chapters focus on materials, fabrication, inspection, and testing procedures, providing a practical understanding of the entire piping lifecycle. The latter sections cover power piping (B31.1) and hydrogen pipeline standards (B31.12), addressing material requirements, fabrication, welding, inspection, operation, repair, and design. These detailed sections ensure readers are well-versed in the latest codes, especially as they relate to emerging energy technologies and safety practices. "ASME Codes and Standards for Piping and Valves: Engineering Applications in Hydrogen, Renewable, and Conventional Energy Systems" is an essential resource for engineers, project managers, trainers, and students involved in energy and engineering research worldwide. Its practical focus on applying the latest ASME B16 and B31 standards makes it invaluable for those working in the design, construction, and operation of piping and valve systems in hydrogen, geothermal, biomass, and conventional industries. The case studies, material strategies, and inspection techniques offer actionable insights for real projects. Written by an expert with over 16 years of experience, this volume supports broader applications of industry standards across the energy sector while upholding global efforts toward sustainable energy and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Karan Sotoodeh holds a PhD in Safety and Reliability in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Stavanger. Previously, Karan was the Senior / Lead Engineer in valves and actuators for Baker Hughes, one of the world’s largest oil field services company. He was responsible for engineering and delivering valves and actuators in subsea manifolds, working with valve suppliers, R&D activities, and maintaining the company’s valve database. He also worked for AkerSolutions, NLI Engineering, and Nargan Engineers as a senior specialist in piping and valves, assisting with many projects around the world. He is the author of Prevention of Valve Fugitive Emissions in the Oil and Gas Industry and Subsea Valves and Actuators for the Oil and Gas Industry, both published by Elsevier. Karan earned a Master of Research in Mechanical Engineering and a Masters in Oil and Gas Engineering, both from Robert Gordon University of Aberdeen, and a Bachelors in Industrial Engineering from the Iran University of Science and Technology.
