Applies To Product(s): AutoPIPE Vessel Version(s): V8i Environment: N/A Area: modeling Subarea: Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group Date Logged & Current Version Aug. 2015 33.02.02.04 Problem: Local loads due to a nozzle in WRC 107/297: Why is the weld joint efficiency equal to 1 in AutoPIPE Vessel? Answer: Basically, the WRC 107/297 ignores the stresses due to the internal or external pressure. AutoPIPE Vessel considers the stresses due to the pressure and uses a weld joint efficiency equal to 1 in reference of the UG-37 where the thicknesses due to the pressure are calculated for the opening reinforcement equal to 1.
