When you select SIF & Tees on the Classic Piping Input dialog box, the Auxiliary panel for SIFs/Tees becomes active. The Type box indicates what type of tee or joint to use for the piping code specified. The software uses this input in the same way for most piping codes. However, there are only a few tee and joint types for ISO 14692.
1 |
Tee |
2 |
Joint |
3 |
Qualified Tee |
Specifying a tee, a qualified tee, or a joint in the Type box allows CAESAR II to perform the correct allowable stress calculations.
-
Select 1 - Tee for the software to use the method specified in the ISO 14692 code for non-qualified tees.
-
Select 2 - Joint for CAESAR II to use the calculations specified in the code for joints and fittings.
-
Select 3 - Qualified Tee for the software to use the code-specified calculation for qualified service stress for tees (including the pressure stress multiplier, mpst).
