This book provides background information,historical perspective, and expert commentary on the ASME B31.3 Coderequirements for process piping design and construction. It provides the mostcomplete coverage of the Code that is available today and is packed withadditional information useful to those responsible for the design andmechanical integrity of process piping.


The author explains the principal intentions ofthe Code, covering the content of each of the Code's chapters. Book insertscover special topics such as calculation of refractory lined pipe walltemperature, spring design, design for vibration, welding processes, bondingprocesses and expansion joint pressure thrust..
Appendices in the book include usefulinformation for pressure design and flexibility analysis as well as guidelinesfor computer flexibility analysis and design of piping systems with expansionjoints.
