Data description/conditions
Contents
Specification of loading combination to be taken into account in pipeline calculations (B31.8 or Belgian Law) (Input Table)
Data description/conditions:
IDENT:
Name for loading combination
None / Required
LOADS:
Type of loading combination
Prescribed names: Operational, Water test
[Default: Operational]
(In case of ASME B31.8, only Operational is available.)
PRESS-F:
Specific load factor for 'PRESS' load component
[Default: 1.]
T-DIF-F:
Specific load factor for 'TEMP' load component
[Default: 1.]
DEADW-F:
Specific load factor for 'DEADW' load component
[Default: 1.]
SETL-F:
Specific load factor for 'SETX/Y/Z' and 'SUBSIDE' load components
[Default: 1.]
NODAL-F:
Specific load factor for 'NODALL' load component
[Default: 1.]
ELBND-F:
Specific load factor for elastic bends
[Default: 1.]
(If 0., bends are assumed to be non-elastic even when specified as elastic in table POLYDIF.
If > 0., elastic bends must have been specified in table POLYDIF, moreover, a geometrically non-linear module (N or L) must be present and the pipeline behaviour analysis must be geometrically non-linear (GEO-NLN), if not, a function error will occur.)
WAVC-F:
Specific load factor for 'WAVE' load component
[Default: 0.]
For all (specific) component load factors:
Condition: ≥ 0. at least 1 component load factor must be non-zero.
Info: If a component load factor is > 0., a corresponding non-zero load component must have been specified in the previous functions.
Max/Min: 1/1 rows
