A "Standard" will cover a specific item or part of a specific item.
Example:
- B16.10 Face-to-Face and End-to-End Dimensions for Ferrous Valves
or
- B16.28 Wrought Steel Butt welded Short Radius Elbows and Returns


A "Code" will cover the technical issues of the Design of all Piping for a type of Facility.
Example:
- B31.3 Chemical Plant and Petroleum Refinery Piping
or
- B31.4 Liquid Pipeline Transportation Systems for Hydrocarbons, Liquid Petroleum Gas, Anhydrous Ammonia, and Alcohol's

Do it once and Do it Right

Seek and you shall find ... From the "Standards" tab (above)

A code has a limited jurisdiction defined by the code.

A standard has a limited scope defined by the standard.
