Hello Lone Star Expat, At this time, only B31.3 reports the hydrotest pressure, as it is the only code that requires the material allowable. When a hydrotest analysis set is created, AutoPIPE will generate an additional report under the Analysis Summary named 'Hydrotest Load'. As Mike has mentioned, this will contain the user-defined pressure/temperature case, and the corresponding pressure/temperature factors. Keep in mind that this additional report is not generated unless there is at least one hydrotest analysis set. For non-B31.3 codes, hydrotest pressure is a multiplication of the design pressure with the user-defined factor. ASME B31.3 is the only piping code in AutoPIPE to require the temperature-dependent allowable strength. Because of this, hydrotest pressure is only reported for this piping code through the Hydrotest Load Properties dialog (found in the Hydrotest drop down of the Static Analysis Sets dialog) after clicking on the Update test pressure button.
