Does AutoPIPE applies the rules for stresses in the occasional load case, when piping is subject to Elevated Temperature Fluid Service? Im referring to para 302.3.6(a), 2nd paragraph (" For Elevated Temperature Fluid Service (see definition in para. 300.2), as ...taken as 1.0 for austenitic stainless steel and 0.8 for other materials .") from the 2012 edition. If so, where is this incorporated in the software? Does it require the user click some check-marks, or does it do this itself? Im currently evaluating some piping subject to Elevated Temperature Fluid Service, and am not sure how AutoPIPE deals with this. Any help would be appreciated.
