Applies To Product(s): AutoPIPE, Version(s): 2004, XM, & V8i Environment: N/A Area: calculations Subarea: Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group Comments, Questions, and Answers about ASME B31.8 Piping Code Calculation Issues Item #1: How to calculate B31.8 code allowable of per code equation: Item #2: How to calculate the combined stress for a node point, equation used, and individual values being applied in the equation? Item #3: ASME B31.8, the hoop stress uses the D/t ratio to decide which formula to use, thin or thick, what is AutoPIPE doing ? Item #4: Using ASME B31.8 2012, how is the hoop stress being calculated in AutoPIPE? Item #5: 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 ? Item #6: Why are Hydrotest results different using AutoPIPE ASME B31.8 piping code? Item #7: How can I set the RESTRAINED pipe option for B31.8 2007 onshore / underground piping ?
