Edition DescriptionNew Edition

SynopsisOffers background information, historical perspective, and expert commentary on the ASME B31.3 Code requirements for process piping design and construction. This book provides coverage of the Code that is available and is packed with information useful to those responsible for the design and mechanical integrity of process piping., I felt it would be useful to the reader to summarize changes, in particular for those that may have spent the time to already read through the 2004 edition of this book. This is not a complete summary of changes, but provides most of the major changes. The major additions relate to new Code requirements included in the 2006 and 2008 editions of ASME B31.3. These include the following. 1. New requirements for weld joint strength reduction factors, in Section 3.4. 2. Changes to Section VIII references to be consistent with the rewritten Code, in Section 4.15, 9.3, Insert 9.2 and 17.6. 3. Addition of requirement for valve stem retention, in Section 5.2. 4. Update on various standards, in Chapter 5. 5. Discussion of Code Case 178, which provides a specifi c equation for evaluation of longitudinal stresses due to sustained loads, in 6.2. 6. New requirements for design of supports, in Section 9.3. 7. Replacement for Table 12.2 with the revised version from the 2006 edition. 8. Discussion of Code text added to clarify the intent of some progressive examination requirements, in Section 13.2. 9. Addition of Code Case 181 to provide acceptance criteria for advanced ultrasonic techniques that size defects, in Section 13.3. 10. Additional requirements and discussion of subassemblies that have been previously tested, in Section 14.1. 11. Revised hydrostatic test requirements, in Section 14.2. 12. Addition of a Code Case for testing jacketed piping, in Section 14.7. 13. Changes to the pressure design equations for high pressure piping, in Section 17.3. 14. Coverage of use of listed materials to other editions, in Section 17.7. 15. Addition of leak test alternatives for high pressure piping, in Section 17.10. In addition, a few additional topics were covered. These include the following. 1. Addition of the photo taken at the 125th meeting of the ASME B31.3 Section Committee. 2. Addition of new Task Group H in the committee, in Section 1.6. 3. Additional discussion of requirements for Listed Components, in Section 2.3. 4. Mention of Appendix L, in Section 4.11. 5. Discussion of ASME Research on stress limits for occasional loads at elevated temperatures, in Section 6.3. x What's New in the 2008 Edition of This Book? 6. Mention of new considerations with respect to fatigue design rules, in Section 7.1. 7. Mention of examples added to Appendix S in the 2006 edition, in Section 8.1. 8. Discussion of branch connection attachment welds, in Section 12.12. 9. Reference to procedures to calculate stored energy and safe distances for pneumatic tests, in Section 14.3. 10. Component pressure-temperature ratings in Appendix I were updated in accordance with changes in the subject standards., Fully updated for the 2008 Edition of the ASME B31.3 Code, this third edition provides background information, historical perspective, and expert commentary on the ASME B31.3 Code requirements for process piping design and construction. It provides the most complete coverage of the Code that is available today and is packed with additional information useful to those responsible for the design and mechanical integrity of process piping. The author is a long-serving member, and present Chairman, of the ASME B31.3, Process Piping Code committee. Dr. Becht explains the principal intentions of the Code, covering the content of each of the Code's chapters. Book inserts cover special topics such as calculation of refractory lined pipe wall temperature, spring design, design for vibration, welding processes, bonding processes and expansion joint pressure thrust. Appendices in the book include useful information for pressure design and flexibility analysis as well as guidelines for computer flexibility analysis and design of piping systems with expansion joints. From the new designer wanting to know how to size a pipe wall thickness or design a spring to the expert piping engineer wanting to understand some nuance or intent of the Code, everyone whose career involves process piping will find this to be a valuable reference.
