Background and General Information

Abstract

This book is based on the 2020 Edition of ASME B31.3, Process Piping [Code]. Because changes, some very significant, are made to the Code every edition, the reader should refer to the Code for any specific requirements. This book should be considered as providing background information and not specific current Code rules. The equations in this book are numbered sequentially in each chapter. When equations from ASME B31.3 are reproduced herein the latter equation numbers are given as well.
