Hi,
I am performing fatigue analysis for a flow-line as part of a support modification project.
I have used the stress range curve for a F2 weld, as defined in BS7608. The model fails at a node associated with a support, i.e. there is no weld local.
I was wondering if it was acceptable to define different fatigue curves throughout a CII model.
The highest class defined in Table 7 of BS7608 is 'C'. Does anyone know if there are any appropriate curves for seamless pipe without welds? Or should I use a class C curve?
Best Regards,
Peter
