Trying to design a piping system with duplex pipe material S31803 A928 CL1 to ASME B31.3.
B31.3 does not list the stress values for this material.
Is the correct procedure to use a similar material in B31.3, say A790 S31803 or should one refer to ASME II Part D?

Per the example above if one compares the stress value at say 200°C, then the
A928 S31803 = A240 = 165MPA (from Part D)
A790 S31803 = 198.7MPA (from B31.3)

Any advice much appreciated.

Refer to B31.3 para 323.1.2 for (specific and para 323 for general) requirements and guidance on use of unlisted materials in B31.3 piping systems.
