Problem:

While using AutoPIPE, the following warning appears,

W726-38: Allowable at ambient is outside of temperature range at point XXX for material YYYY

Why? how to resolve?

Solution:

There are 3 reasons why this warning would appear:

Reason #1:

According to the Library data and material properties specified, temperature load case(s) may be requesting a library value that is outside of the range of data in the library.

Review the material library to confirm data temperature is within the data range specified in the library.

A. Start AutoPIPE, and select Tool> Library> Table type = Spec, Library name = B313-10, Action = Scan:

Press OK button

B. AutoPIPE Viewer appears with the B313-10.lib Material section.

C. Find the SPECIFICATION material in the document using the search tool (example: A53-A).

D. Noticed the temperature range for the material (example: A53-A = -20 deg F to 1100 deg F) . If the temperature setting for the Ambient Temperature is outside of this range the warning will be displayed.

Reason #2:

If item one has been ruled out, AND currently using AutoPIPE V8i 09.05.01.02, AND ASME B31.3 2010 is selected as the piping code, ONLY then the following apply:

The development team noticed that there was a mistake in B31.3 2012 and 2010 libraries - number of actual data rows were less in these compared to older B31.3 libraries but the count was not set correctly in library.

Download new library files, to be copy and overwrite the existing files in the AutoPIPE folder.

Reason #3:

If a new customized material library has been created and used, the warning above may appear if there are problems with the material file. Review the SRC file and compiled errors to determine any potential problems.
