Re: [MW:14156] Weld strength reduction factor(W) for seamless pipe

Dear Harish,  Weld strength reduction factor(W) for seamless pipe will be 1 , so, in my understanding there is no need to apply it for seamless pipe .

Hence under such case factor W  in accordance with table 302.3.5 shall be multiplied to SE for seamless pipes also in pipe thickness calculation. Can anyone please confirm if my understanding is correct or not.
