What are the pressure/temperature boundary conditons of High Energy Piping Systems and where are they defined by NRC or ASME specifically?
I found this description in a document with no references:
"...high energy (pressure > 275 psi or temperature > 200 F) pipe ruptures..."

RE: High Energy Piping Systems
You can find the standard review plan on the NRC's public web page (www.nrc.gov), select the electronic reading room, then collections of documents by type, then NUREGs, then NUREG 0800, then Chapter 3, and finally Section 3.6.1 Rev 2.

The definition of high energy that you gave is found on page 16.

The "correct" way to do it is to ask a new question rather than hijacking an old thread.
Also, you might be better off asking this in a mechanical forum. I'd suggest forum378: Piping & fluid mechanics engineering as you will get much more answers.

All of the above is based on my experience in commercial reactor plants. If you are looking at something else, well...
