Dear Karthik,
section 5.8 is ok.
What i am asking is for a 30 mm CS plate is my job,?
where i to refer this thickness of CS plate either has to be done for
SR or not in AWS D1.1?
In asme b31.3 there is one chart is for Piping tat for cs >20mm we
have to do PWHT?
Like tat any chart is available in AWS D1.1 or not?
Either how can we refer for thickness? by AWS D1.1
Pl clear me...........
Thanks
