45、ctor and K-Factor Alignment for Metallic Pipes 1 1 INTRODUCTION In the Welding Research Councils (WRC) WRC Bulletin 329 (1987) E.C. Rodabaugh 1 outlined a number of recommendations for AMSE B31.1 Power Piping (B31.1), ASME B31.3 Process Piping (B31.3), BPVC Section III - Div. 1 - Subsection NC - Rul

46、es for Construction of Nuclear Facility Components - Class 2 Components (BPVC Section III NC) and BPVC Section III - Div. 1 - Subsection ND - Rules for Construction of Nuclear Facility Components - Class 3 Components (BPVC Section III ND). Specific recommendations were provided in WRC 329 Appendix A

47、 for BPVC Section III NC-3600 which were subsequently incorporated into the BPVC Section III Code. The WRC 329 Section 5.0 Recommendations for B31.1 and B31.3 have not been incorporated into the B31.1 and B31.3 Codes as of the 2010 versions. The resolution of issues raised in WRC 329 is one objectiv

48、e of this report. Rodabaugh 1234567 and Schneider 8 have long recognized the significant influence branch connection flexibility factors can have on piping flexibility results. In WRC 329 Rodabaugh states, “present Code guidance for flexibility of branch connections can be very inaccurate. If the Co

49、de guidance is followed, there can be inaccuracies in the calculated moments, and the stresses, that may be greater than that due to any of the inaccuracies in i-factors.” Widera 9 and Wais 10 presented flexibility factors for unreinforced branch connections, and Wais 6 provided flexibility factors for pad reinforced branch connections. In 1987 Moore and others 41112 conducted instrumented tests of welding tees. For this report PRG ran in excess of 30,000 brick and shell finite element analyses on unreinforced
