SCOPE OF B31.3
a) This Code prescribes requirements for Materials and components, design, fabrication, assembly, erection, examination, inspection, and testing of piping. b) This code applies to piping for all fluids, including: 1) Raw, intermediate, and finished chemicals; 2) Petroleum products; 3) Gas, steam, air, and water;

4) Fluidized solids;
5) Refrigerants; 6) Cryogenic fluids (-151o to 425oF).

EXCLUSIONS OF B31.3
This code excludes following: Piping systems design for internal gauge pressures at or above zero but less than 105kPa (15psi), provided the fluid handled is nonflammable, nontoxic, and not damaging to human tissue and its design temperature is from 29oC (-20oF) through 186oC (366oF); Power boiler s in accordance with BPV code Section-I and boiler external piping which is required to confirm to B31.1 Tubes, tube headers, crossovers, and manifolds of fired heaters, which are internal to the heater enclosure; and Pressure vessels, heat exchangers, pumps, compressors, and other fluid handling or processing equipment, including internal piping and connections for external piping.

DESIGN PRESSURE
The design pressure of each component in a piping system shall be not less than the pressure at the most severe condition of coincident internal or external pressure (Minimum or Maximum) expected during service

DESIGN TEMPERATURE
The design temperature or each component in a piping system is the coincident temperature,under the coincident pressure, the greatest thickness or highest component rating is required.

MINIMUM TEMPERATURE
The design minimum temperature is the lowest component temperature expected in service.

FLUID CATEGORY ON B 31.3

CATEGORY D A) The fluid handled is non flammable,non toxic ,and not damaging to human tissues. B) The design gauge pressure does not exceed 150 Psi and temperature is from 29 c to 186 c.

C) Example water,air.(testing of the system not stringent.)

CATEGORY M A fluid service in which the potential for personnel exposure is judged to be significant and in which a single exposure to a very small quantity of a toxic fluid,caused by leakage,can produce serious irreversible harm to persons on breathing or bodily contact, even when prompt restorative measures are taken. Example .H2 SO4, CL2 Gas (Thread flanges are not recommended. Low pressure testing is also one of the requirement.

HIGH PRESSURE FLUID SERVICE K CATEGORY

If the pressure is in excess of 2500 rating for specified design temperature and material group.

NORMAL FLUID SERVICE.

A fluid service pertaining to most piping covered by this code ie not subject to the rules for category D,category M or high pressure fluid service.

PIPE UNDER INTERNAL PRESSURE

For t<D/6, the internal pressure design thickness for straight pipe shall be not less than that calculated below t= PD 2(SE + PY)

The minimum thickness T for the pipe selected, considering manufacturers minus tolerance, shall be not less than tm.. tm = t + c Where, tm = minimum required thickness including mechanical, corrosion, and erosion allowances. t = pressure design thickness

PIPE UNDER INTERNAL PRESSURE

c = the sum of the mechanical allowance plus corrosion and erosion allowances. T = Pipe wall thickness P = internal design gauge pressure D = outside diameter of the pipe E = quality factor from Table A-1A or A-1B S = stress value for material form Table A-1 Y = Coefficient from Table 304.1.1, valid for t < D/6 and for material shown. The value of Y may be interpolated for intermediated temperatures.

NPS- A dimension less designator of pipe .It indicates standard pipe size when followed by the specific size designation number with out an inch symbol (eg NPS 2, NPS 12) NORMALISING- A process in which a ferrous metal is heated to a suitable temperature above the transformation range and is subsequently cooled in still air at room temperature. POST HEATING- The application of heat to a fabricated or welded section subsequent to a fabrication, welding or cutting operation. Post heating ,or the entire assembly may be post heated in a furnace. POST WELD HEAT TREATMENT- Any heat treatment subsequent to welding.

PREHEATING- The application of heat to a base metal immediately prior to a welding or cutting operation.
Galvanizing A process by which the surface of iron or steel is covered with a layer of zinc

PREHEATING
Preheating is used, along with heat treatment, to minimize the detrimental effects of high temperature and severer thermal gradients inherent in welding. Requirement and recommendations : Required and recommended minimum preheat temperatures for materials of various P-Numbers are given in table. If the ambient temperature is below 0oC (32oF), the recommendation become requirements. Preheat Zone : Preheat zone shall extend at least 25mm (1in.) beyond each edge of the weld.

HEAT TREATMENT
Heat treatment is used to avert or relieve the detrimental effects of high temperature and severe temperature gradients inherent in welding, and to relieve residual stresses created by bending and forming. Governing thickness : When components are joined by welding, the thickness to be used in applying the heat treatment provisions of Table 331.1.1 shall be that of the thicker component measured at the joint.

MARKING OF SHOP JOINTS

Shop joints are the welding joint done at shop. For joining pipe to pipe, pipe to fittings, pipe to flanges shop joints are marked. Shop joints are done to minimize the erection joints. ( Normally joints after rolling of pipe or joints connecting to existing flange of equipment should be avoided at shop ).

MARKING OF ERECTION OR FIELD JOINT

Erection or field joints are the welding joint done during erection. The following points to be followed for deciding erection joint The spool length shall be such a way decided that there is no damage to other pipes while erecting ( Normally upto 6 mtr. ). The spool length shall be decided so that it is easily transportable. To avoid distortion in spools more shop joints shall be avoided ( Straightness after welding shall be checked by fabricator ). If there is branch connection and there are chances of damage to it, then branch connection shall be erection joint. One field joint in x, y and z direction shall be kept so that length adjustment can be made.
