B31.3 allowable stresses are governed by the creep strength at the higher temperatures and the basis of allowable stresses are time dependent (e.g. 67% of the average stress for rupture at the end of 100,000 hours)

Is the design life of a piping system at high temperature (in creep range) is limited by those many number of hours of operation?

Or, By number of displacement cycles , N ?
