I am a mechanical engineer and have been put on a project in which I am acting as a piping engineer. I am to design the piping and layout (including supports) and complete a stress analysis on the layout for a high pressure, high temperature compressor testing facility as per B31.3.
I am...
In ASME B31.3 for high pressure piping (ANSI class 2500 and above) it is strictly stated that API 5L pipe is only permitted in seamless condition. However, for any piping below ANSI class 2500 B31.3 merely states that 5L pipe "may require special consideration for welding qualification per ASME...
