#VALUE!
Body efficiency is reduced by head to body welds
Right head efficiency is reduced by right head to body weld
Comments:
This sheet is for educational use only. Only ASME can make code interpretations.
UW-11(a) and UW-11(a)(5)(b) Complience is optional.
ERW Pipe - start calculations with stress values from IID that INCLUDE the 0.85 long seam efficiency, then run the code calculations
with the additional long and circ seam efficiency shown here - refer to UW-12(e).
