Pressure design of piping for external pressure - ASME B31.3

Pressure design of piping for external pressure - ASME B31.3

Pressure design of piping for external pressure - ASME B31.3

(OP)
B31.3 refers to the Sec VIII Div 1 procedure for the external pressure
calculations. The allowable external pressure for a given material is
primarily depended upon the thickness of the shell and the length between
the stiffening elements along the length. How is this length, along a
piping run, determined for a calculation. Curved and mitered sections are
also to be treated as equivalent straight sections.

I could not find any reference in the code interpretations,

RE: Pressure design of piping for external pressure - ASME B31.3

Normally a pipe will be treated as having infinite length, unless it is specifically provided with stiffening rings at more or less constant intervals.
