B31.3 Line Sizing

B31.3 Line Sizing

B31.3 Line Sizing

(OP)
Can anyone explain explain the principal difference between B31.3 and B31.8. I know 3 is for plant piping while 8 is for gas transmission, but that is the extent of my knowledge.

I also created a line list based on the pipe schedule found at http://www.engineersedge.com/pipe_schedules.htm, but was told that this chart is based on B31.8. All the charts I have seen are identical to this one. Does anyone have a pipe schedule chart for B31.3? Can anyone share a pipe calculation spreadsheet for B31.3? Finally, what are the acceptable design factor and temperature correction factor for B31.3?

Thanks. Any and all assistance is appreciated.
