• Category M Fluid Service

• High Purity Fluid Service

_______ is defined as conditions applying to specific piping components or joints for
which the owner or the designer determines that construction to better resist fatigue loading is warranted.

• Severe cyclic conditions

• Elevated Temperature conditions

• High pressure conditions

• Brittle fracture condition

Listed piping components are those that are in accordance with the standards listed in ______.

• Table 323.2.2

• Table 323.3.4

• Table 303.1

• Table 326.1

ASME B31.3 code excludes low pressure piping systems from its scope, if they meet all of the following conditions except:

• the pressure is less than 105 kPa (15 psi)

• the pressure is not less than zero (i.e., no vacuum condition)

• the fluid is nonflammable, nontoxic and not damaging to human tissue

• the temperature is less than -29°C (-20° F);
