[MW:29398] leak in pipeline

Dear all,

 

We have the attached case. It´s about a B31.3 line with hot oil service.

 

There is a minimum leak in weld material. The material temperature service it´s about 470 °F.

 

We are considering repair this leak, but there a problem in get out of service this system which include a complete plant turn off.

 

So, i´d like to know which code can I use for this repair. I was considering ASME PCC-2, but in not sure about which section applies for this case.

 

Please if you can give me some references

 

Thanks in advance

 

Best regards,
