[EG] The API MUT based on the maximum pin ID and minimum box OD is used to calculate the maximum bevel diameter to achieve a seal stress of 40% MYS. The minimum bevel diameter calculated based on a seal stress of 90% MYS is not less than the maximum bevel diameter. Therefore, the minimum bevel diameter is set to the maximum bevel diameter less. 1/32-inch, [HG] The maximum bevel diameter calculated based on a seal stress of 40% MYS is larger than the OD minus 3/64-inch. Therefore, the maximum bevel diameter is set to the OD minus 3/64-ineh. References: 1.
