In a overpressure situation where design pressure is exceeded, typically stress analysis is done to confirm there was no yielding. In some situations, hydrotesting is done at yield stress.
What if yield stress was exceeded? ASME B31.3 doesn't specify when to replace piping after yield stress is exceeded.
How would you determine if the piping is safe to use after yielding (plastic deformation), and when would you recommend to replace piping?
