Sir Dave,

Thank you for your reply,

About WC concept is clear. My Doubt is only on WL.

1. As you said ”CAESAR II uses this WL in the required pressure thickness calculation”. Where this thickness is used in CAESAR-II calculations, in hoop stress?

2. If selected the option SEAM WELDED then from where the value of WL (in between zero to one) should be taken by the user?

3. Why for WL user has to enter, I mean CAESAR-II is taking the value of WC automatically from the Table 302.3.5, then why not WL.

please correct me, if I am wrong.
