ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code - Section VIII - Division 1; would cover pressure vessels such as air receiver (and potentially filters and dryers).

ASME B31.3; would cover piping in between these components.

I don't believe API has any standards that relate directly to air receivers, filters, or dryers. They only include compressors, coolers, and heat exchangers.
