ASME B16.3, ASME B16.9, ASME B16.11 Standards for Pipe Fittings. ASME B31.3 for Process Piping.
For pipeline and piping standards, Aramco established SAES:
SAES- L-136 Pipe election and Restrictions
SAES-L-310 Design of Plant Piping
SAES-L-410 Design of Pipelines
SAES-W-012 Welding requirements for Pipeline
ASME B31.1 Power Piping
ASME B31.3 Process Piping
ASME B31.4 Pipeline Transportation System for Liquid Hydrocarbons and other Liquids.
ASME B31.8 Gas Transmission and Distribution Piping System.
SAES series for design, construction and inspection of piping systems are owned or operated by Saudi Aramco. This standard sets the rules and basis for selecting the applicable Saudi Aramco engineering standards or materials. For the most part, supplements “somehow “ASME B31 and namely:
· SAES-L-100 – applicable codes and standards for pressure piping system. This standard define the applicable ASME B31.1, B31.3, B31.4 and ASME B31.8
· SAES-L-450– applicable codes and standards supplements ASME B31.4 and B31.8 transportation piping code
· SAES-A-004 – this standard define mandatory general requirements for pressure testing of a new and existing pipelines which supplements ASME B31’s and other applicable codes.

I don't agree with the term of most useful, standards should be applied as a package depending on the project or application you're using. if we only apply what we see as most useful, we will be violating the word "standards" it self.
