Pipe material not found in library

Dear All,

If pipe material is not found in CAESAR II MATERIAL LIBRARY then in that case how can we input that pipe material for allowable stress check.

EXAMPLE :

Pipe Size NPS : 1650 ,Material : A134-A283 Gr C EFW ,temp. 60 c ,please demonstrate it for above example.

There are two options:
- add the material to the database using the material database editor
- choose material number 21: User defined, and enter all values in the appropriate boxes. You can enter coefficient of thermal expansion in the temperature boxes if you want.

Dear Corne,

I am agree with you,but my query start only from here.I ahve got Maximum allowable stress value from APPENDIX A of ASME 31.1/31.3 ,but I have to input also Hot elastic modulus & thermal coeffiecient of pipe material.

What would you do if this forum did not exist ?

Read the documentation that you received with the software.

Good plan.

You can define all of that data using the Material Database Editor.
