Correction... if I remember right, the nick radius was expressed as a percentage of web depth (the difference between the internal and external radiuses).

SOMEWHERE I once read you could machine semicircular nicks on the external radius of internal stiffener rings. These are useful for running longitudinal wires or piping while keeping things protected. I think the allowable radius of these semicircles was expressed in terms of the of the stiffener diameter.

Problem is, I can't find where I read this. Does anyone have this info, or at least some rule of thumb?

thanks!
