Stress intensification factors (SIF''s) for Crosses

Quick question for Stress Analysis guys,

ASME B31.3 "Flexibility & stress intensification factors" Does not list SIF's for Crosses.
Where to get it?

However in the same code Section 4 "Standards for piping components" lists ASME B16.9 as approved standard.
ASME B16.9 lists dimessions of Crosses.
ASME B31.3 section 304.3 "Branch connetions" also specify the use of crosses.
