This paper describes an Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) project to better define the Stress Intensification Factors (SIFs) and flexibility factors used for evaluation in the ASME Section 3 and B31 piping design Codes. SIFs are used to account for the ability of piping components to withstand fatigue damage due to cyclic loads. Flexibility factors are used to model the ``flexibility`` of a component and can be obtained from the same evaluation used to determine the SIF.
