O. Box 32096\nDecatur, GA 30032\nDear Mr. Ernst:\nIn your recent letter received November 10, 1979, you ask if it is necessary that the reinforced epoxy\nresin pipe used in the Dresser Manufacturing Style 390 Meter Riser comply with all pertinent\nrequirements of the Federal safety standards, such as Sections 192.59, 192.121, 192.123, 192.513, and\nAppendix B-1-ASTM D2517.\nThe Office of Pipeline Safety Operations does not endorse or certify proprietary items. As a segment of a\npipeline under the definition in Section 192.3, the epoxy resin pipe must comply with the requirements\nmentioned above and any other appropriate requirements of Part 192. Where a material specification is\nreferenced by Part 192, it should be noted that only those editions listed in Appendix A or B are\nacceptable. Later published editions are not acceptable until they are approved and added to the\nappendices where appropriate.\nThank you for your interest in pipeline safety.\nSincerely,\nSIGNED\nCesar DeLeon\nActing Director\nOffice of Pipeline\nSafety Operations\n\n<<<PAGE 2>>>\n\nLuke Ernst and Associates, Inc.\nP.O.
