New stress factors for boiler tube min. wall calculations

New stress factors for boiler tube min. wall calculations

(OP)
Does anyone know anything about a 1998 revision to ASME BPVC Section I which changed the stress factors used when calculating boiler tube minimum wall? What does it take to get approval to use these factors on a pre-1998 boiler? Jurisdictional approval?
