Process Piping Design & ASME B31.3 Simplified - Piping 101, Lesson 1.2

Welcome to Piping Design 101 – Lesson 1.2: Design Conditions (Pressure & Temperature).

In this lesson, we cover one of the most important foundations of piping design — how to properly define design pressure and design temperature based on real operating conditions. These parameters directly control pipe thickness, material selection, and component ratings according to ASME B31.3.

Understanding the difference between operating vs design conditions is critical for safe and reliable piping design. Getting this wrong can lead to incorrect calculations and potential failures.

What you’ll learn:
- What is design pressure
- Operating vs design pressure
- What is design temperature
- Maximum vs minimum design temperature
- Why temperature affects material strength
- How design conditions impact piping design

This lesson sets the foundation for upcoming calculations like pipe thickness design and allowable stress.
