E.g. If m & n-Influence Factors are calculated to be 0.254 & 1.381 respectively, the Influence Coefficient is linearly interpolated to be 0.29 from the nearest Ic table solutions at:
Ic table value = 0.229 for (m,n) = (0.2,1.2)
Ic table value = 0.333 for (m,n) = (0.3, 1.2)
Ic table value = 0.238 for (m,n) = (0.2, 1.5)

Bug Fixes
The following issues have been fixed in Hot Tap:
The user would not receive a validation message that their inputs failed to execute a calculation (TT-9246, TT-9349, TT-9391).
Previously, the user would instead receive the message: “Engine executed successfully”.
Now the user is informed of failures on two levels:
Model input error: The user is now informed that an input on their case is out of range.
E.g. If the user inputs a sleeve temperature of 800 F, they get the following message: “Joint Temperature out of range. Acceptable Range is: -50 to 400 deg F”
F.E.A engine failure: If the user encounters a case scenario such that the F.E.A Results calculation fails, they will receive the following message: “Engine Couldn’t Complete the Calculation. Please click Validate to verify input data!”
The ‘Check/Correct’ button has had its name updated to ‘Validate’.
The Reduced Wall Thickness was not being inputted into the calculations for Hot Tap (TT-9246).
All unsaved weld records were incorrectly deleted if the user selected ‘Delete Record’ (TT-9246).
E.g.: Previously, if a user’s case has 3 weld records saved and they create 2 new unsaved ones, then selection of ‘Delete Record’ on the 4th record would delete records 4 and 5.
The Review Input report had the following errors:
Electrode Type for Weld Records on the report was incorrectly spelled as ‘Electrade Type’ (TT-9246).
Molybdenum in the Pipe Chemistry section was incorrectly spelled as ‘Malybdenum’ (TT-9390).

API Inspectors Toolbox
Bug Fixes and Improvements:
API 653 Report Data Builder
APP A / Nozzle CML Data – Fixed a bug related to importing data via Excel, where the Nozzle CMLs were not auto-calculating the ‘tact’ based on the lowest value per CML unless users input data in each CML line.
APP B / Horizontal Tank Calcs – Fixed a bug where K1 & K8 were not defaulting to 3.14 when “Yes” was selected for the “Stiffing Ring(s) Installed” cell at very bottom right unless users closed and re-opened the widget.
APP B / Venting Calc – Fixed a bug where the “Ao” value was incorrect, and the “Pt” variable needed to go to the 2nd decimal place. These errors were leading to an incorrect RC value.
APP B / Venting Calc – Issues fixed causing Equation 2 to not show ‘Venting Req. value’ until users selected “Eval” at bottom of the box. Additionally, the ‘F Factor’ variable value was not appearing, the “Q” variable was calculated incorrectly, and “Venting Req for Eval 2” was also calculated incorrectly.
APP B / Wind Loads Calc – Fixed a bug causing Carbon Steel to not appear in the generated report if it was not manually entered, and instead simply left as the default in the Material Category field. Variable “P” is now rounded to the 3rd decimal place. The Dome Radius cell is now blank when a new case is created.
APP B / Wind Loads Calc – The “Select Roof Type” field was coming in with Self Supported Cone selected by default. This was causing the “Rc” variable to not calculate until the user re-selected the roof type. With this update, the “Select Roof Type” field comes in empty, and “Rc” will now automatically load based on the Roof Type. Additionally, a bug causing the “Xa” and “EstAstiff” fields to not calculate has been fixed in the current update. The “X” variable is now rounded to the 3rd decimal place.
APP B / Nozzle Calcs – Previously, CMLs with missing data from the tprev loaded with a default value. The default value was then carried over to the report. This has been changed so that the field is now blank by default when the required input data is not entered. Additionally, an issue has been fixed that caused report checklists to not carry over when making duplicate reports.
API 510 Report Data Builder
Generate Report and Save – Issues related to report generation and updating/saving logos are now fixed.
Copy Report – Issued fix to have the write-up and the Company Logo carry over when duplicating reports.
Excel Template Upload – The edits in the write-up and checklist were not populating when the import excel feature was used. We have issued a fix to resolve this.
APP B / Pipe Remaining Life Eval – Previously, when the application loaded initially, it was displaying the stress [S] value incorrectly. Users had to click Reset to load the correct value. A fix has been implemented to ensure that the data is loaded correctly when the widget initially loads.
APP B / Pipe Structural Support Eval – Previously, the Insulation “Tk” value was pre-populated with a default value from the base page. Now, this field is left blank and so that users can manually enter the input here.
APP B / Pipe Remaining Life Eval– Fixed a bug that occurred when a CML excel template is used in APP A that caused the RL calcs in APP B to initially load as “0.”
APP B / Flange Calcs – ASME Sect VIII, Div 1, App 2: “y” variable was coming in with a default value. This has been fixed. Additionally, the “Ca” value was not retaining a “0” value when users existed the widget. A fix has been issued for this. Also, in the PDF Report print, the Ratio Act/Max values on the last page in the FLANGE STRESSES box will now be rounding off to 3rd decimal place.
