The Fifth Edition of the CASTI Guidebook to ASME B31.3 - Process Piping covers the new 2006 ASME B31.3 code book that was released in 2007.

This newly updated Guidebook describes new additions and revisions to the Code rules while offering insight into the reasoning behind these changes in the Code. It provides comprehensive coverage of B31.3 Code requirements for design, analysis, fabrication, assembly, errection, inspection, examination, and testing of process piping.

The detailed information on Code requirements provides clarity, even to the experienced Code user. The Guidebook also includes coverage of piping and pressure vessel code history, ASME B31.3 scope, piping fundamentals, failure modes, failure causes, supplementary information that the ASME B31.3 code does not specifically address. It offers a unique insight into the technologies associated with ASME code design, fabrication, materials, testing, and examination of process piping.

The Guidebook is filled with many practical example calculations for piping design and analysis in both US customary and Metric units.

The intent of this Guidebook is to provide the users of ASME B31.3 with a better understanding of the ASME B31.3 Code. It is written by piping code experts with long time ASME B31.3 code committee and international engineering experience. Going far beyond the literary words of the Code, the authors of this Guidebook explain specific Code paragraphs and related ASME Code Interpretations to provide guidance where a close study of the Code, on its own, may not produce a clear conclusion.
