Toriconical Transition
Toriconical Transition
(OP)
How come Compress still ask for stiffening rings (per Appendix 1-8) near the junctures of a toriconical transition? I thought stiffening rings or added reinforcements are NOT required as long as the knuckle radius meets ASME Code requirements.
I am using Build 6247.

RE: Toriconical Transition
Thus for case of a knuckle, there is no requirement for additional reinforcing area but the requirements for stiffness (moment of inertia) of the juncture must be met.
