•If you notice, that in the design temperatures given by process, there is always a big difference with the inlet design temperature and outlet design temperature. Sometimes,
the outlet line that goes to the Flare headers is 10x fold from the inlet design.

Every project that i have worked may differ in their intructions.

Is there anyway to resolve this issue in stress analysis?
Can we have a uniform way of analyzing the system?
