Description

Name

Element name. If checked then it shown in 3D view

Type

  • Butt Weld, SIF depend on delta, and t

delta – mismatch, t – wall thickness of pipe

  • Tapered transition (butt weld transition), SIF depend on Do, delta, and t

delta – mismatch, t – wall thickness of pipe, D – diameter of the pipe with lowest wall thickness

  • Threaded joint or threaded flange SIF = 2.3

  • Single-welded slip on flange SIF = 1.3

  • Double-welded slip on flange SIF = 1.2

  • Lap joint flange SIF = 1.6

  • Fillet welded joint or socket welded flange unfinished SIF = 2.1

  • Fillet welded joint or socket welded flange finished SIF = 1.3
