About Us
Pipeline Systems Division
In March 2000, ASME International established the Pipeline Systems Subdivision (PSD), within ASME's Materials and Structures Group, to draw together worldwide interest in pipeline technology. As of March 2003, PSD has been elevated to full division status and is now the Pipeline Systems Division. PSD became part of ASME's International Petroleum Technology Institute (IPTI). Currently PSD is part of the Energy Sources and Processing Segment in line with the other divisions of the former IPTI.
Pipelines are used throughout the world for sundry purposes, chief of which is the safe and economic transportation of energy products and water supplies. The multi-billion dollar pipeline industry employs many thousands of people in the design, construction, operation and maintenance of facilities.
The impetus to form the PSD stemmed from a strong desire to represent pipeline community and from several highly successful international pipeline conferences held in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. These conferences have enjoyed strong support from the industry, government, regulatory agencies, research and academic establishments, pipeline and other associations. The International Pipeline Conference and Exhibition is held in Calgary in September in even years.
Besides using conferences as a means of disseminating state of the art information on such topics as, Pipeline System Integrity, Design, Construction, Code/Standards/Regulations, Automation, Operations, Maintenance as well as Management and Environmental issues, the objectives of the Division are to encourage the interaction and professional development of its international membership. Planned activities include technical meetings, conferences, seminars/workshops and short courses as well as web-based training and publications as well as expositions.
Objectives:
Promote technological progress and international co-operation in the area of Pipeline Systems engineering.
Support of education and timely, in-depth exchange of technical information among researchers and engineers.
Provide strong leadership and liaison, including the promotion of technical activities and conferences, within ASME and with other international organizations.
Provide a public advocacy role for matters related to pipelines, in conformance with the ASME Constitution, By-Laws, and Policies.
Promote the development of Codes and Standards related to pipeline system design and safety
