Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code, Rules for Construction of Nuclear Power Plant Components Division 1, Subsection ND, Class 3 Components Applies To Product(s): AutoPIPE, Version(s): 2004, XM, & V8i Environment: N/A Area: piping code Subarea: Original Author: Bentley Technical Support Group Comments, Questions, and Answers on ASME ND Piping code in AutoPIPE Item #1: If the Service Level C coincident pressure P differs from the Peak Pressure (Level A and B), how can the Level C pressure be specified for this calculation in AutoPIPE? Item #2: How to find out what SIF does AutoPIPE use for stress calculations in each point, for example in tees using ASME ND 1992+1993 addenda? Item #3: Can you please explain what is zero moment and its involvement in ASME ND equation 10 code stress combination for thermal case? Item #4: Where should then Non-repeated Anchor Movement (e.g. Building Settlement) be accounted for if not in ASME ND Equation 10a in AutoPIPE? Item #5: Could you please provide an example, how to define building settlement and where to put it in Stress Summary? Item #6: Why does the calculated allowable for "ASME ND (2007) PRE-VERIFICATION STRESS REPORT", Eq 8, Load case = GR, not match the hand calculated value in AutoPIPE? Item #7: Why are the Connection end types for Valves and Flanges fewer for ASME NC / ND models than ASME NB and Non-nuclear codes in AutoPIPE?
