I went through some of the relevant threads with respect to above and found useful info. from seniors on this, but i would like to know the reason for this difference in allowable stress for material listed in both Secton II Part D & B31.3, for example Material SA 516 Gr. B can be used for Pressue Vessel as well as for piping but at all times if i am designing piping i have to use values from tables available in B31.3. Why i can't use values from Part D.
From some info. available at net, i found that it has something to do with safety factor. Would highly appreciate respone in little bit more detail if this is the case.
Thanks,
