Dec 2014, AutoPIPE V8i 09.06.01.10
Question: I am trying to verify pressure extension result in AutoPIPE 09.04.01.05 using hand calculation. Could you please provide the formulas used in AutoPIPE for pressure elongation of a straight pipe (assuming pipe is free to expand). I am using ASME B31.3 and CSA Z662 codes.Model has 2 different analysis sets, but the support loads dues to GR(1) and Gr(2) are different, why?Text
