Can someone tell me if and where corrections for AMSE codes are made available?
Specifically - In B31.3 the formula for wall thickness of a pipe under internal pressure (Sect. 304.1.2) has two formulas. One of the includes a weld strength reduction factor (W), and the other does not. A workbook I received from attending a course on B31.3 uses these formuals, but the formulas it uses both have the W factor in them. It even goes so far as to explain that the W is a new addition to the 2004 edition of the code, etc. I am wondering if this was something that was missed when the code was published (seems strange)?!?!
Thanks.
