ASME BPV-III-1-NB, AutoPIPE Nuclear Piping Code FAQ
Q. How does AutoPIPE calculate the allowable for ASME NB, eq 10?
Q. If AutoPIPE is calculating elbow stress indices and two elbows are closely spaces per ASME NB-3683.2A, does AutoPIPE automatically multiply the by the product of the weld in the stress indices (per code requirements)??
Q. The results from ASME NB Eq 12 + Eq. 13 stresses don’t equal Eq. 10, for a specific transient pair using AutoPIPE, why?
Q. Class 1 NB fatigue analysis, results shows the usage of the highest alternating stress range, and not the remaining stress ranges when using AutoPIPE, why?
Q. Eq 13, why are the results different between different code years when using AutoPIPE?
Q. EQ 8 Allowable calculation does not use the manual value entered for gravity and occasional cases, why?
Q. Equation 10, hand calculations are 2 times AutoPIPE reported values, why?
Q. For calculation of ASME NB - 3653.7 Thermal Stress Ratchet, does AutoPIPE perform this check per code requirements?
Q. For calculation of ASME NB Bend Stiffness and Pressure stress around a bend, does AutoPIPE use the Bend / Elbow properties (O/D and t) or the preceding pipe properties (O/D and t)?
Q. For calculation of ASME NB-3683.7 Stress Indices does Autopipe use the Bend / Elbow properties (O/D and t) or the preceding pipe properties (O/D and t)?
Q. How are the bend ASME NB flexibility calculation (k) performed by AutoPIPE?
Q. How is the average Sm value calculated in AutoPIPE?
Q. When calculating ratchet allowable, is Sy the minimum from each load pair considered or the lowest Sy from the whole set of AutoPIPE load cases analysed?
Q. Where should Non-repeated Anchor Movement (e.g. Building Settlement) be accounted for if not in AutoPIPE's results for Equation 10a as indicated in ASME ND?
