Does anyone know what the surport span of brass pipe is, say, 1-1/2" condensate line, 220F degree?
In B31.1 or B31.3, the Maximum Allowable Values for Carbon Steel (A106) is much greater than Brass (B43), 20ksi vs. 8ksi. Does that mean the brass piping system needs more loop to overcome thermal stress?
Thanks a lot!!
