ABS Class Piping System

This document outlines the classes of piping systems based on their pressure and temperature. It provides a table that classifies piping systems as Class I, II, or III depending on their maximum allowable pressure and temperature. Class I piping can have the highest pressure and temperature while Class III has the lowest allowable limits. The table provides examples of common piping systems and their classification. Notes are also included that specify exceptions for certain cargo piping systems.

The above requirements are not applicable to piping systems intended for liquefied gases in cargo and process
areas.

The above requirements are also not applicable to cargo piping systems of vessels carrying chemicals in bulk.

Safeguards are measures undertaken to reduce leakage possibility and limiting its consequences, (e.g., double wall
piping or equivalent, or protective location of piping etc.)
