Hi Mr Diehl, thank you.
I am interested on the calculus for the stress ratio, since I am facing some trouble with non-expected low temperature from original design.
As I was writing down the text I realize that it is not informed to remove the mill tolerance for the nominal dimension less corrosion, erosion and mechanical allowances, according to Fig. 323.2.2B(a)(3) and according paragraph 320.1 (analysis of sustained loads – basic assumptions and requirements). So the mill tolerance it is not important for this verification, and as you said the mill tolerance does not affect load or stress also for B31.3 code.
