Hi again,

Just a short errata - A B31.3 Code quoting that disappeared:

Para. 319.2.3 statement:
<< In contrast with stresses from sustained loads, such as internal pressure or weight, displacement stresses may be permitted to attain sufficient magnitude to cause LOCAL YIELDING in various portions of a piping system. >>
