CAESAR II requires the specification of the pipe material’s elastic modulus, Poisson’s ratio, density, and (in most cases) expansion coefficient. The software provides a material database containing the parameters for many common piping materials. This information is retrieved by picking a material from the list, by typing the material number, or by typing the entire material name and then picking it from the match list.

The coefficient of expansion does not appear on the dialog box, but you can review it during error checking.

Material properties carry forward from one element to the next during the design session. You only need to type values for those elements in which a change occurs.
