The minimum pressures for design of all components must be those listed for piping in Table 501.2.4 of ASME B31.5 (incorporated by reference; see § 58.03-1).

Pressure vessels must be designed in accordance with part 54 of this subchapter.

(b)For refrigeration systems other than those for reliquefaction of cargo, only those refrigerants under § 147.90 of this chapter are allowed.
