Definition(s)
Part Factor , f3,est
Derating factor that de-rates a component, taking account of non-pressure-related axial loads, e.g. bending and externally-applied direct-acting axial forces so that the combined hoop and axial stresses are still within the design envelope for each individual load case.
- Note: 1 to entry: f3,est is estimated at the bid stage. The f3,est part factor cannot be confirmed until a stress analysis is conducted. The f3,est part factor can vary from one load case to another.
