BUILDING OFFICIALS CONFERENCE OF AMERICA

BUILDING OFFICIALS CONFERENCE OF AMERICA
Today Piping & Fabrication will write about and the others, and as the first thing we will talk about The Building Officials Conference of America (BOCA) publishes a series of national codes, manuals, training aids, and other documents which contain technical requirements and other information related to piping. The following is a partial list of these publications:

National Codes

EXPANSION JOINT MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION
The Expansion Joint Manufacturers Association (EJMA) publishes a handbook called the Standards of the Expansion Joint Manufacturers Association. The book contains manufacturing standard practices as well as comprehensive and detailed engineering data concerning pipe expansion joint types, installation layouts and locations, movements, forces, moments, cycle-life expectancy, and effects of corrosion, erosion, and testing.
