Overrides the operating load that CAESAR II is calculating.
Typical units (depending on your unit system):
-
lb
-
N
This value is normally specified when you think that loads on a piece of equipment are reduced if a hanger in the vicinity of the equipment is artificially caused to carry a proportionately larger part of the total load. This operating load is the hot load that the hanger is designed to support after it undergoes any travel due to the thermal expansion of the piping. CAESAR II's calculated hanger operating loads may be read from the hanger table printed in the output processor. The column is titled HOT LOAD. The value also appears in this table. Type the total operating load that you want to use at the location. For example, if there are two hangers specified at the location and each should carry 500 lb., then the operating load specified should be 1,000 lb.
