    I wanted to study how the difference in the B31J flexibility factors with use of the B31J SIFs impact the overall stress calculated vs just using B31.1 or other SIFs. However, it is unclear to me how the flexibility factor is taken into account for tee…

    I am trying to model a 20" STD connection to a tank of 40 m diameter at 1 m above ground level, filled to 13 m high. Naturally I use the API 650 flexibility method (I assume it's using the Appendix P calculations, meant for tanks above 36 m in diameter…
