    01c. Model Non-metallic Plastic Piping (i.e. Plastic, PVC, PP, PPR, HDPE, PE, FRP, GRP, etc.)

    Comments, Questions, and Answers 

    Notes:

    1. Typical modeling approaches of non-metallic piping:

    - Download document

    - See AutoPIPE Help Supplemental documentation, tutorial section: 1. ASME B311 With HDPE Tutorial and 2. ASME ND With HDPE Tutorial

    - Learning Path - Non Metallic Piping Analysis in AutoPIPE

    2. AutoPIPE V8i 09.05.01.xx and higher has a new Piping code: Iso14692 (Petroleum and Natural Gas Industries - Glass Reinforced Plastics (GRP) Piping). Note: that an document called "Tutorial - ISO 14692 FRP" is available in the in program help under "Supplemental Documentation" (for AutoPIPE V8i - folder location: "C:\Bentley\AutoPIPE V8i SELECTseries\Documents").
