&lt;p style="margin-left:90px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color:#008000;color:#ffffff;font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Answer:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:90px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;According to the ASME VIII Div.1 the minimum thickness shall be the greater thickness as given by the circumferential stress UG-27(c)(1) or longitudinal stress (c)(2).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;The thickness due to the circumferential stress is always the greatest (see below) consequently APV uses only the first formula (NOTE: in Div.2 there is only one formula: circumferential stress). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:90px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/6332.1.png"&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-41/pastedimage1598560286701v1.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;To be strictly conform to the code, APV should print out the both formulas but this will not change the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:90px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;A new enhancement has been logged:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-left:120px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#008000;"&gt;Enhancement 184810:Report both wall thickness results from Circ. Stress and Long. Stress Eq.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
