For low temperature piping in ASME B 31.3:2004 Fig-2223.2.2B note a 3,Is the combined longitudinal stress(without SIF) the operating loadcase stress - used in computing stress ratio to have temperature reduction from the limiting temperature for the piping material & thickness combination to avoid impact test?
