West Equation uses truncated area #10

West equation appears to use a truncated area to calculate the shear force rather than the entire area. See the attached result. By using the calculated area of pipe 2, the force is about 100 lbs greater.

The full area should be used in the calculation, but area should be reported as a reasonable significant figure.
