I am looking for a more accurate calculation of the SIF for a threaded pipe connection. This will be used an B3.3/.1 stress model.
The code SIF default is 2.3, but this seems high for our connection. We designing a geothermal wellhead with an API buttress thread. The well designers consider this thread to be as strong casing but they do have look at moments from the attached piping.
Thanks
