A36 Material - MSS vs. B31.3

(OP)
I don't want to have two threads running on this question, but I do want to make sure it gets the right exposure.  So, I would ask that you check out this post in the Piping and Fluid Mechanics forum and post responses there if you have a contribution.

RE: A36 Material - MSS vs. B31.3

Per 321.1.4 (c), A-36 may be used for shoes at temperatures within the range of -20 F to 650 F with an allowable stress in tension of 12 ksi.

It looks like that would apply as long as I had a repad of line spec material on the pipe and weld the shoes to that.  That definitely helps some.
