Problem:

How to review AutoPIPE Nozzle Material Library?

Example: SA-645

Solution:

1. Determine what material library has been selected in a model by reviewing the System tab:

Example: ASME 2009.

2. Open the Program installation folder.

Using AutoPIPE Nozzle 08.11.08.35: C:\Program Files (x86)\Bentley\AutoPIPE Nozzle V8i\

3. Locate all the *.MDB files available and copy / paste them to a folder other than C:\Program Files (x86)

> asme2000.mdb

> asme2009.mdb

> jismatlib.mdb

> khkmatlib.mdb

4. Open the appropriate file for the material library in your model, (example asme2009.mdb)

5. Open the following tables:

> A2000A

> A2000B

Note: For DIV I open A2000A table and for DIVII open A2000B table.

6. Search the CodeID column for your material (ex. SA-645)

7. Confirm the following values from this table:

a. Section Type [mprod] = Plates

b. Material Type: [mgroup] = Carbon/Low Alloy

c. Material [codeID] = SA-645

d. Alloy Designation UNS No. [unsno] = K41583

e. Production Type [mprodtyp] = Plate

f. Grade [matgrade] = (blank)

g. Composition [mcomp] = 5Ni - 1/4 Mo

h. External Pressure Chart [extcht] = CS-3

i. Minimum Tensile Stress [tenmin] = 95

j. Minimum Yield Stress [yldmin] = 65

8. Open the Material key table and cross reference the mcomp value (ex. 5Ni - 1/4 Mo)

9. Confirm the following values from this table:

a. Modkey = B

b. Expkey = 7

10. Open tables, modgroupB and group7 for review based on Ambient temperature

Find for temp setting,

On the Modgroub table, Emod (or Elastic Modulus) = 27.8

On group7 table, texp (expansion) = 0.00
