Defines the applicable factor as required by the piping code:
Stoomwezen
0.44 or 0.5. This value is used to compute the equilibrium stresses as discussed in Section 5.2 of the code. You can use 0.5 for steel if the design and fabrication are such that stress peaks are avoided.

The material ultimate tensile strength at room temperature Rm. If you do not define a value, this factor is not considered to control the expansion stress allowable.
