(OP)
Hi,
We have 36" and 42" diameter pipelines which have been made with mitered joints. According to B31.8 joints upto 3 deg are classed as deflections and not mitered. My problem is i think that the mitre is much more than 3 deg. Would this affect the stress limitations bering inmind that 3 of the miter joints are within 4 meters of each other.
