Code Sec.: PD C Se P Y C D Set Xcrxyrs C D

This document provides a summary of key equations and references from API 570 and B31.3 for preparing calculations related to piping and pressure vessel design. It includes minimum thickness equations for pipes, flanges, fittings, and valves based on internal pressure and material properties. It also lists requirements for hydrostatic test pressures, allowable stress values, corrosion rates, weld leg sizes, and post-weld heat treatment of branch connections.
