Fellow Members,
I have been trying to find if there is a similar rule for Section VIII-1 pressure vessels to allow temporary increases in pressure and temperature avove the design conditions as is allowed in B31.3 for process piping.
I don't know if that would be considered as "abnormal pressures" under UG-22(i), where you can use a higher maximum allowable stress value per UG-23(d). (My instinct says "No".)
I can't seem to find any special rules, but if there are some, any help would be appreciated.
I have been charged to specify an air cooler for normal temperatures around 300 deg.F, but having an PSV relief case bringing the expected temp up to around 800 deg.F. The cooler will be in Coker Blowdown Condensing service.
Thank you again.
