As a new feature in AutoPIPE V8i 09.06.xx.xx and higher fluid desnsity can be changed by temperature conditions including phases e.g. Steam. Now control Fluid Density for both Static and Dynamic load cases
From AutoPIPE's online help:
Fluid Density Factor (Modal Analysis) or (Static Analysis)
Enter the fluid density factor for the modal analysis. The fluid density of the contents is multiplied with this factor. This factor is applied to gravity and seismic static load cases. Valid values range between 0.0 and 100000.0.
Typically used for analysis where the fluid density drastically changes with temperature (ex. oil in a solor colecting system) or when evaluating different types of process scenarios, etc..
