316SS dual certified for wall thickness cals ASME B31.3
(OP)
When using material 316SS dual cerified for wall thickness calculations in accordance with ASME B31.3, shall the mechanicals of 316SS i.e. 20ksi at room temperature be used.
Thanks
Thanks

If you're using ASTM A312 TP316/316L pipe; yes, since the material meets both grades, hence also the higher stress allowables (please note that Ive assumed you meant stress allowables rather 'mechanicals' in your OP).
The calculation(s) shall be performed for the temperatures foressen; if your system is running at higher temperatures, than the calcs also have to be done for those temperatures.

ASTM A312 TP316L (basic allowable 16.7ksi) and ASTM A312 TP316 (basic allowable 20ksi.
Yes for basic allowable.
Hence for 316SS dual certified material 20ksi basic allowable to be used at temperature for wt calculation.
thanks
