I believe it is possible to design it to 31.3 but I am still unsure of the exact restrictions. I think I'm going to need to talk to an authority to bottom out the...
Thanks very much for the tips, maty007 I think you've pretty much summed up the position I'm in; the equipment I'm designing would probably be classed as a vessel but as it is 'inside' a pipe and no fluid is being stored in it I was hoping to get away with designing it to B31.3. We have done it...
Hi guys,
I'm new here and have a very general question concerning standards;
If I am designing a piece of equipment, what are the factors that would differentiate between B31.3 & ASME VIII.
The equipment is not technically 'holding' pressure but has fluid passing through it (you might compare...
