Indicates the pressure SIF (ip) value for a bend or an intersection.

Specify this value for any point in the piping system by selecting the SIFs & Tees on the Classic Piping Input Dialog. Type the node number to which the stress pressure applies. Then, specify the Pressure SIF (ip) value on the SIFs/Tees auxiliary tab.

  • If you do not specify a value in the Pressure SIF (ip) box, the software sets the value to 1.0 by default.

  • For ISO-14692 2005, the software only uses Pressure SIF (ip) for mitered bends and uses the unqualified bend value of 1.3. You can type another value, such as the qualified bend value of 1.0.
