Do = mainline pipe outside diameter, in. tr = required outlet cylinder thickness, in.
Ty = mainline cylinder thickness, in. D = outlet deflection angle, degrees
Tr = required mainline cylinder thickness, in. Tc = collar or wrapper thickness, in.
do = outlet pipe outside diameter, in. W = overall collar or wrapper width, in.
ty = outlet cylinder thickness, in. w = collar or wrapper edge width, in.
Note: Figure does not show the location of necessary welds. See Figures 7-7 and 7-8 for weld definition.

2. Page 109, the first equation should read:

"Aa = (61.750 – 2(0.290)) (0.290 – 0.147) + 5 (0.290) (0.290 – 0.147) 1.0 = 8.95 in.2 "
sin 90°

3. Pages 128-135, Table 7-3 footnote * at the bottom, line 3, revise < 20 in. to > 20 in. and
revise < 36 in. to > 36 in. as follows:
*Pipe diameters noted are nominal unless specifically noted as “OD”. For nominal diameters, the outside diameter used in the
calculation of the lug assembly is equal to the following: the nominal diameter plus 1 in. for pipe sizes ≤ 20 in.; the nominal
diameter plus 1.5 in. for sizes > 20 in., but ≤ 36 in.; the nominal diameter plus 2 in. for sizes > 36 in., but ≤ 96 in.; and the nominal
diameter plus 2.5 in. for sizes > 96 in. The minimum cylinder thickness is based on the larger of the following: 0.135 in.; D/288,
and the calculated thickness based on a pressure equal to (design pressure)/1.5 and an allowable stress of 17.5 ksi and 18 ksi for
diameters ≤ 30 in. OD and > 30 in. OD, respectively.

4. Page 136, Table 7-5 column 2 header add “or tg“ as follows:
“Minimum fillet weld size, tw or tg ”.

5. Page 138, Table 7-6 footnote †, 2nd line, replace > 2-in. with > 2.5-in. as follows:
“The maximum load per tie rod is based on an allowable stress in the rod of 40 ksi for
rods ≤ 2.5-in. diameter and 36.2 ksi for rods > 2.5-in. diameter.”

6. Page 153, last paragraph, line 1, replace “quartic” with “quadratic” as follows:
“Since f r is a function of tw , solving directly for tw yields a quadratic equation that is
difficult to solve.”

Chapter 8
1. Page 166, Eq 8-7 should read:

"β = Ko tan ϕ (12 H/Do + 0.50)2 / [μ (12 H/Do + 0.107)] ≤ 1" (Eq 8-7)
