    CSAZ662 Commentary and Implications of using very conservative minimum-design-temperature

    In CSAZ662 Commentary part it is stated " it is common industry practice to use –5 °C as the minimum design temperature for buried piping and either –30 °C or –45 °C (depending on the local climate) as the minimum design temperature for above-ground piping" . I think that this practice is not...

    Piping codes (CSAZ662 , B31.3 , B31.4, B31.8) requires that minimum design temperature is assigned carefully in the design. (e.g CSAZ662, Lowest expected metal temperature during pressure testing and service under design conditions) My question is what is on the implication of using inaccurate...
