Allowable stress = ⅓ SMYS for carbon steel at ambient temperature. F and E values per B31.3 Table A-1.
Note: B31.3 uses allowable stress tables (not a simple design factor). The ⅓ SMYS approximation applies to carbon steel at ambient temperature. Always use Table A-1 allowable stress values for actual design — they vary by material and temperature.
