Specifies t', the effective tee pipe thickness, which is used to reduce SIFs and flexibility factors. You can use this value instead of defining tn, L1, y, and qn.

For B31J, this property applies to fabricated tees. See Type or Intersection Types.

Default Values

  • When no value is defined for t', the software calculates t' based on the values defined for tn, L1, y, and qn.

  • If no values are defined for t', tn, L1, y, and qn, the software uses the thickness of the branch pipe.

This property does not display for FRP piping codes.
