When is the 2020 version for B31.3 going to be released ?
Greetings,
Know that the B31.3 2020 code was not released until the beginning of 2021. Please see WIKI here for typical procedure to add a new piping code into AutoPIPE.
In this case, the this new edition will be add in AutoPIPE 12.08.

Thank you for the response Mike confirming that AutoPIPE 12.08 will include the B31.3 2020 code updates. On 5/28/21, you mentioned that version 12.07 was slated for Q4 2021 and was to include B31.3 2020. Does this mean these dates have been delayed?

Is there a timeframe of when Bentley anticipates releasing AutoPIPE 12.08? Our upcoming projects are asking for dates when this will be available to ensure they can utilize AutoPIPE.
Thank you,

Greetings Scott,
The devil is always in the details. Be careful when looking at these statements. This thread is all about ASME B31.3 while the other thread is about ASME B31.1. Two completely different codes with a lot of similarities.
At this time, Dec 2021, the best guess for release of AutoPIPE 12.08 would be Q2 of 2022, baring any testing issues.
Mike,
Just following up on this thread to see if V12.08 is still on track for release in the next month or two. My team will be looking to upgrade as soon as it becomes available.

Barring any testing issues, yes still on track.
