Problem:

Would code stress results be the same regardless of which piping code was used in AutoPIPE?

Solution:

Not necessarily, the results could be different because each code and year to year may have a different equation to calculate code stresses.

Example: See how the Sustain stress is calculated for ASME B31.3 and ASME B31.1

Again, results may not be the same when changing between codes or year to year.
