Weld Inspection Acceptance Criteria B31.1, B31.3

Weld Inspection Acceptance Criteria B31.1, B31.3

Weld Inspection Acceptance Criteria B31.1, B31.3

(OP)
API 1104 pipeline welding standard includes an option (Appendix A) for use of a fitness for service or fracture mechanics-based approach for evaluation of girth weld flaws in new construction. Is there any parallel option for new construction welds made in B31.1 or B31.3 piping? In my brief review of each standard it looked like both rely only upon workmanship stds.  Perhaps one of the piping code experts out there knows of a code inquiry or code case or something else relative to this question. Thanks
