This B31J Standard provides stress intensification factors (i-factors) and flexibility factors (k-factors), with procedures for their determination for metallic piping components and joints. This Standard sets forth stress intensification factors, flexibility factors, and engineering procedures deemed appropriate for the safe determination of the fatigue and sustained load capacity of metallic piping components or joints in typical services.
