The following ASME B31.8 enhancements have been logged for inclusion into a future version of AutoPIPE: Note: if an enhancement has not been added to the program, log an Service request for that enhancement. The more requests logged per an enhancement, the quicker the CAE development team will add that feature to the program.
Description:
To introduce the 2014 edition, and associated calculation, library and online help changes, of B31.8 onshore and offshore to AutoPIPE.
Consideration:
Combined stress for restrained pipe equation was changed in this edition of the code. Paragraph 833.4 , (a) 1
Subsea structures test pressure is now 1.5 x design pressure (previously factor was only 1.4) Paragraph A847.2
Changes in App. F , Welded Branch (Intersections calculations)
F-1 (Under definition for ro, subparas. (a) and(b) revised )
Comments:
a. The test pressure factor is defined by the user on the Hydrotest Load Properties dialog. The default value displayed for the factor may however be updated for different codes. Logged new Enhancement, TFS-E291223, Set default value of Hydrotest pressure factor based on the code selected.
b. Appendix F relates to reinforcement calculations, which AutoPIPE does not perform.
