This report covers the development of a new set of SCF parametric formulae for simple tubular joints, ie the Lloyds Register equations, the work being largely funded by the HSE. Additionally, the report covers an assessment of commonly used SCF equations for simple tubular joints including the new LR equations. This latter work was carried out under the auspices of the HSE Review Panel for Fatigue Guidance (RPFG).
