Explore new requirements for implementing nonmetallic (NM) pressure piping in above ground and buried applications

Learn how to leverage nonmetallic pressure piping across your projects

ASME’s new 2020 NM standards provide a centralized resource for utilities on nonmetallic pressure piping’s unique design requirements. Explore a simplified approach for meeting core requirements for nonmetallic pressure piping’s safe implementation. And access key requirements across many applications including above ground and buried piping for electric power generating stations, residential & commercial buildings along with central and district heating systems.

Purchase ASME’s NM standards and leverage its prescriptive and performance-based approaches across your projects. Gain access to:

  • Key material specifications that help provide transparency across the buying process and enable you to select the right pipe for the job​
  • Clear direction on analyzing nonmetallic pressure piping systems, so you can identify if your piping’s mechanical properties align with the intended load duration and design life.
  • Physical & mechanical properties, allowable stress values & clearly defined baselines that help to align designers and manufacturers
  • Temperature limits for pipes continuously exposed to specific & different temperature substances for short-time intervals, so you can identify the right material for your application
  • Essential rules that will help you prevent the pressure containing components from being overstressed through the use of hangers, supports and other equipment
  • Comprehensive training and qualifying methods that instruct you on how to join & examine joints in nonmetallic pressure piping systems

NM Video Exploration into Technology

Exploration into Technology: Nonmetallic Standards

Over the last 10 years, innovations in engineering have resulted in nonmetallic (nm) pipes that can support higher pressures and temperatures. For engineers who are designing and working with these materials, expert guidance is needed, as the design requirements are significantly different from those applicable to metallic piping. Which is why ASME recently published its nonmetallic pressure piping system standards: NM.1, NM.2 & NM.3.
