This post runs it in mechCalc's BS 7910 Clause 7 fracture assessment calculator, watches where the assessment point lands on the Failure Assessment Diagram, and cross-checks point by point against FITNET: the horizontal coordinate L_r matches almost digit-for-digit (0.511 vs 0.51), while the vertical coordinate K_r is cross-method (the source includes unquantified welding residual stress), so only L_r can be compared.
