API 650 figure F-2 has seen some changes (looking at the most recent version: 12th, March 2013)
I'm confused.
In order to calculate the participating area of the Shell/Roof/Angle there are formulae for Wc, Wh, R2 which are all fine for me, however, in most of the details now there appears to be a dimension Le?. There is no mention of this dimension in the legend below the figures or a formula to calculate its length or is this simply the leg length of the angle as specified in the data sheet?
Also, In the legend it states that "tf = ta plus tc (see note 4)". I might need glasses but where are all the notes?. I've read through App.F several times just in case I've missed them but to no avail.
Can anyone shed any light?.
Cheers,
