Answer: The "Outside diameter" and "Depth to Centerline" fields have no affect on the 16 soil values (i..e. K1, P1, K2) when Edit Soil Properties Calculation method = "User". These 2 fields of data are primary information for most of the soil properties calculation methods. Therefore it was determine to leave both of them available for all methods including "User" method even though they have no affect on the 16 soil parameters that the user must input. Please note on the Edit Soil Properties dialog, that the "Generate" button has been grayed out when the Calculation method = "User".

Wiki Page: 07. Can a technical justification be provided for ignoring Delta T2 variation whenever the maximum linear temp variation is negative?
Applies To Product(s): AutoPIPE Version(s): 2004, XM, V8i Environment: N/A Area: Subarea: Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group Date Logged & Current Version Jan 2015 09.06.01.10 Problem: For ASME Class 1 piping analysis, linear variation of through-wall tem perature is Delta T1, but non-linear variation is Delta T2. In Bentley's On Demand "AutoPIPE Nuclear Powered by ADLPIPE" Training Notes (Apr-11 version), whenever the calculated maximum magnitude of Delta T1 has a negative sign, the non-linear through-wall temperature variation is ignored, namely assign Delta T2=0 using the Operating Pressure & Temperature dialog (see page s 80, 121). Can a Technical justification be provided for ignoring non-linear through-wall temperature variation whenever the maximum linear temperature variation is negative? Answer: The short answer is No, there is no technical justification. The value is the minimum value for T2 calculated by the equation in ASME and it is applied with the minimum value or T1. Can the value of T2 be -ve…seems the equation cannot give a -ve value or if a -ve value should be considered. The question is for ASME, we would be very interested in their answer.

Wiki Page: 05. ASME B31.8, AutoPIPE does not seem to consider the bending stresses in the pipe due to large diameter elastic bends ( 1200 m). it only reports the stresses due to pressure , temperature and gravity . can any one help ?
Applies To Product(s): AutoPIPE Version(s): 2004, XM, V8i Environment: N/A Area: Subarea: Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group Date Logged & Current Version Jan 2015 09.06.01.10 Problem: ASME B31.8, AutoPIPE does not seem to consider the bending stresses in the pipe due to large diameter elastic bends ( 1200 m). it only reports the stresses due to pressure , temperature and gravity . can any one help ? Answer: from Karim Rinawi AutoPIPE forum response: https://communities.bentley.com/products/pipe_stress_analysis/f/275801/t/93651.aspx In most cases these initial stresses are ignored as are circumferential weld stresses. Similarly, for buried pipe the overburden soil load will add stresses which often are analyzed separately. These overburden stresses were recently supported in AutoPIPE for some codes in which case they are added to other sustained stresses In addition to additional checks to insure that the pipe will not buckle under the soil load alone. It is worth pointing out that the overburden stresses act against the initial cold bending stresses. The way to account for the elastic bending stresses is to calculate them manually and add them to the sustained stress. The moment created by bending can be calculated by E.I/R where E is the elastic pipe material modulus, I is the pipe moment of inertia and R is the bend curvature radius. You can build a simple cantilever pipe model and apply this moment to the free end in a User case to get the cold bending stress. This bending stress can then be manually added to the maximum sustained stress in the long radius bend and the results compared to the sustained allowable. Note that you may not need to add it to expansion stress range since this is a one time event and would not reverse. However it can be added to operating cases as in B31.3 Appendix P, if that option is being used. You can also calculate the cold bend stress using a pipe with two rigid anchors on both sides and apply a rotation equal to pipe span length times divided by bend radius or theta = L/R in radians which can be converted to degrees. This rotation is applied to one of the end anchors under U1 user case. See Also Bentley AutoPIPE External Links Bentley Technical Support KnowledgeBase Bentley LEARN Server Comments or Corrections?

This gives me 118.54 MPa. For a change, I thought that I would give the default Hydrotest load case a try and but it gives me a different value of 148.17 MPa. Now when I just do a pure Hoop stress calculation (Pd/2t), it gives me another different result of 134.19 MPa. I am trying to understand why these 3 values are different Answer: Please see the following AutoPIPE help section: Help > Contents> Contents Tab> Reference Information> Code Compliance Calculations> ASME B31.8 Chapter VIII - 2010> for calculations used in AutoPIPE. pay special attention to the hoop stress calculation. In this case, the Hoop stress hand calculation use Dmean (PDmean/2t) and with the correct values for pressure factor in the Hydrotest load case so all stress values match now.

Note that the combination's category will determine which calculators are used, i.e. restrained or unrestrained equations. Under the charts are a number of notes that you should review for a better understanding of AutoPIPE's analysis. The calculations for restrained piping is conservative and assumes a small amount of contribution from bending, even on straight piping. The more restrained the piping is with more supports or higher soil properties the less contributions from bending and the closer to code calculations for St = E x alpha x (delta T).
