Box 32096\nDecatur, GA 30032\nDear Mr. Ernst:\nIn your recent letter received November 10, 1975, you ask if it is necessary that the reinforced\nepoxy resin pipe used in the Dresser Manufacturing Style 390 Meter Riser comply with all\npertinent requirements of the Federal safety standards, such as Sections 192.59, 192.121,\n192.123, 192.513, and Appendix B-1-ASTM D2517.\nThe Office of Pipeline Safety Operations does not endorse or certify proprietary items. As a\nsegment of a pipeline under the definition in Section 192.3, the epoxy resin pipe must comply with\nthe requirements mentioned above and any other appropriate requirements of Part 192. Where a\nmaterial specification is referenced by Part 192, it should be noted that only those editions listed in\nAppendix A or B are acceptable. Later published editions are not acceptable until they are\napproved and added to the appendices where appropriate.\nThank you for your interest in pipeline safety.\nSincerely,\nCesar DeLeon\nActing Director\nOffice of Pipeline\nSafety Operations\ndal\\192\\121\\75-12-02\n1\n\n<<<PAGE 2>>>\n\nLuke Ernst and Associates, Inc.\nNovember 10, 1975\nMr. Cesar DeLeon\nActing Director\nOffice of Pipeline Safety Operations\nMaterials Transportation Bureau\nWashington, D.C. 20590\nDear Mr. DeLeon:\nEnclosed is information on the Dresser Style 390 Meter Riser manufactured by Dresser\nManufacturing Division of Dresser Industries, Inc.
