Erection Requirements
t-erec-req = Minimum Erection Thickness Including Corrosion Allowance (mm)

As per API-650 5.10.2.2, Minimum Erection Thickness (t-erec) = 5 mm

t-erec-req = t-erec + CA
t-erec-req = 5 + 1.5
t-erec-req = 6.5 mm

Required Thickness
t-req = Required Thickness (mm)

t-req = t-erec-req
t-req = 6.5
t-req = 6.5 mm

t >= t-req ==> PASS
