(OP)
B31.3, Cl.302.2.4 (f)1a, allows 33% overstress for up to 10 hrs per instance.  Apart from the Wind and/or Seismic allownces, ASME VIII does not appear to have any similar provisions.  Since a very considerable amount of 31.3 piping is connected somewhere to an ASME vessel, would anyone care to comment or shed some light on this apparent inconsistency?

RE: B31.3, Cl.302.2.4 (f)1a, allows 33%

In my opinion this simply means that the vessel and the connected piping might have different design conditions: the vessel with a higher design pressure or temperature, to include in it also the occasional variations that might be unrelevant for the piping.
Of course it's not that simple, as always: pipe reactions used for vessel calculations should then be determined for those extreme conditions that are not used in piping calculations!
