I was recently made aware that the B31.4 code states (400.1.2) that it was not developed for piping with design temp. less than -30 dgrees C. My query is what code do we follow for cases where we have lower temps e.g. -34 C as is the case for some areas of NE USA.
The Canadian pipeline code Z662 which is similar to B31.4 does not have this limitation.
My interpretation is although it says "not developed", we can still apply the code with engineering judgement .
Am I correct ?
