http://www.asme.org/products/codes---standards/b31-3---2012-process-piping
ASME B31.3 contains requirements for piping typically found in petroleum refineries; chemical, pharmaceutical, textile, paper, semiconductor, and cryogenic plants; and related processing plants and terminals. It covers materials and components, design, fabrication, assembly, erection, examination, inspection, and testing of piping.
Power Piping
http://www.asme.org/products/codes---standards/b31-1---2012-power-piping
ASME B31.1 prescribes minimum requirements for the design, materials, fabrication, erection, test, inspection, operation, and maintenance of piping systems typically found in electric power generating stations, industrial and institutional plants, geothermal heating systems, and central and district heating and cooling systems.
Biopharmaceutical
https://www.asme.org/products/codes-standards/bpe-2014-bioprocessing-equipment
This ASME Standard provides the requirements applicable to the design and construction of new fluid processing equipment used in industries that require a defined level of purity and bioburden control. It covers materials, design, fabrication, inspections, testing and certification.
Semiconductor

standards/SEMIStandardDetail.aspx?
ProductID=211&DownloadID=2077
This standard is to provide procedures for welding stainless steels and other corrosion resistant metals and alloys (CRAs) for fluid (liquid or gas) distribution systems in semiconductor manufacturing applications. Welds performed following these procedures are of sufficient quality to provide the required system purity, weld integrity, and weld strength for use in semiconductor manufacturing applications
Pipeline

standards/api/std_1104_r2010_?
product_id=1237425
This standard covers the gas and arc welding of butt, fillet, and socket welds in carbon and low-alloy steel piping used in the compression, pumping, and trans-mission of crude petroleum, petroleum pro-ducts, fuel gases, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and, where applicable, covers welding on distribution systems. It applies to both new construction and in-service welding. The welding may be done by a shielded metal-arc welding, gas metal-arc welding, flux-cored arc welding, plasma arc welding, oxyacetylene welding, or flash butt welding process or by a combination of these processes using a manual, semiautomatic, mechanized, or automatic welding technique or a combination of these techniques. The welds may be produced by position and roll welding.
Specification for welding austenitic stainless steel pipe systems in sanitary (Hygienic) applications
http://pubs.aws.org/product_info.php?
products_id=808
This document outlines welding standards for use in the manufacture and construction of dairy and food product processing plants. Compiled at the request of the 3A Sanitary Standards Committee, which develops sanitary design standards for dairy and food processing, packaging, and handling equipment and systems. Covers the requirements for gas tungsten arc welding GTAW of austenitic stainless steel tube and pipe at least inch 6 mm in diameter in the fabrication and construction of new sanitary hygienic processing systems. The specification list the required essential and nonessential variables for a written welding procedure qualification WPS, and acceptance criteria for procedure qualification for visual and mechanical testing of welds. ANSI Approved. ISBN 978-0-87171-749-8
Guide for Multipass Orbital Machine Pipe Groove Welding
http://pubs.aws.org/product_info.php?
products_id=966
The Standard Guide for Multipass Orbital Machine Pipe Groove Welding, AWS D10.14M/D10.14:2010, provides an overview of the subject. The guide presents several aspects of multipass orbital machine pipe groove welding. Among the aspects presented are: arc welding processes, pipe beveling, pipe line up and welding equipment’s, nondestructive examination, consumable estimation, maximum repair length, and preparation for welding. Multipass orbital machine pipe groove welding of both plant pipe welding and transmission pipe welding are discussed.
Recommended Practices for Gas Tungsten Arc Welding of Titanium Pipe and Tubing
