                        TITLE 49--TRANSPORTATION
 
 CHAPTER I--RESEARCH AND SPECIAL PROGRAMS ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF 
                       TRANSPORTATION (CONTINUED)
 
PART 192--TRANSPORTATION OF NATURAL AND OTHER GAS BY PIPELINE: MINIMUM FEDERAL SAFETY STANDARDS--Table of Contents
 
                Subpart D--Design of Pipeline Components
 
Sec. 192.143  General requirements.

    Each component of a pipeline must be able to withstand operating 
pressures and other anticipated loadings without impairment of its 
serviceability with unit stresses equivalent to those allowed for 
comparable material in pipe in the same location and kind of service. 
However, if design based upon unit stresses is impractical for a 
particular component, design may be based upon a pressure rating 
established by the manufacturer by pressure testing that component or a 
prototype of the component.
