Dear all,
I have a case in my model using hot tapping split tee which requires the SIF value, my question is :
Can I assume input value of the SIFi and SIFo which got from Appendix D ASME B31.3 Table D300 with unreinforced fabricated tee that thickness is accumulated from the pipe header thickness plus hot tap tee thickness. Or from reinforced fabricated tee with pad/saddle thickness as the hot tap tee thickness it self?
Regards,
