    Thanks. I think so. It is due to the physical properties of the materials. I heard the PE loose tubes are more used in the US market and the PBT loose tubes are more used in our country. The pp loose tubes are more suitable the low temperature. PE is softer, higher shrink rate, and more flexible...

    Barred Tee machined with A694 or A234?

    Regarding the allowable stress of API5L Gr.B and SA-234 WPB, you are right, but i don't think to check them with ASME B31.3 but with ASME B31.4. In addition, SA-694 is listed in the Appendix A of ASME B31.4. In the other hand, the allowable stress difference of SA-694 and API5L Gr.B is so...
