Paragraph 6.1.6 of B16.34 gives the criteria of accepting local areas below minimum thickness

sorry didn't read the subject close enough to see you reference para 6.1.6. do you not understand the formulas?

I don't understand the position of circle. My problem is near the flange hub. If i respect the dimensions of b16.5 for 10" flange and the api 6d bore diameter, the wall thickness isn't respect.
