ASME B31.12

Do You know is it correct to use ASME B31.3 standard in Autopipe instead of ASME B31.12 standard? We are going to design pipes according to this standard and i'm wondering is it correct to perform stress analysis according to other standard.

  • Hello Grzegorz, 

    AutoPIPE has over 25+ of the most popular piping codes currently available in the program. At this time, Dec 2017, ASME B31.12 is not currently available. If you like a I can make a formal requested enhancement to add this code to the program back log project listing. 

    In the meantime, if you like to use analyze a model to a different piping code please do so with caution. You as the user will need to:

    1. Select a comparable or more conservative piping code + edition year currently available in AutoPIPE 

    2. Understand all of the differences between both piping codes (ex. B31.12 and B31.3 ).

    3. Make changes to Model settings and Combination settings as required to best align the results with that of calculations from the original code. 

    Let me know if you like me to log a formal enhancement request to add B31.12 to AutoPIPE.

  • Hello Mike/Bentley,

    I was looking through some things in regards to the B31.12 code in Autopipe as well and stumbled across this forum. Has there been any progress to add the B31.12 code to Autopipe? will it happen?

    Thank you.

    Best Regards,

    Allen
