Element Offsets
Element Offsets are used to correct an elements modeled dimensions back to its actual dimensions.

1. Activate by double-clicking the Offsets checkbox on the Pipe Element Spreadsheet. Deactivate by double-clicking a second time. 2. Specify the distances from the TO nodes position in 3-D space to the actual TO end of the element.
3. Specify the distances from the FROM nodes position in 3-D space to the actual FROM end of the element. Note Any offset direction distances left blank default to zero. Training on Caesar II

Thermal expansion is 0 for the offset portion of an offset element. No element flexibility is generated for the offset portion of the element. A common usage for the offset element

3.2.3.3 Mill Tolerance +Mill Tol %


The positive Mill Tolerance is used by the IGE/TD/12 code for determining the effects of increased weight and thermal force due to a potentially thicker wall. The user may change this value on an element by element basis. This option is only activated when the IGE/TD/ 12 code is active. -Mill Tol % The negative Mill Tolerance is read in from the configuration file for use in minimum wall thickness calculations. Also, for the IGE/TD/12 code, this value is used in conjunction with the corrosion allowance to calculate a reduced section modulus for use in stress cal-culations.

Chapter III Piping Input

3.2.4.1 Temperatures
There are nine temperature fields, to allow up to nine different operating cases. Temperature values are checked (by the error checker) to insure they are within the code allowed ranges. Users can exceed the code ranges by entering the expansion coefficient in the tem-perature field in units of length/length (use <F1> to obtain more information on this sub-ject). The expansion coefficient can be a useful method of modeling cold spring effects. Values entered in the temperature field whose absolute values are less than the Alpha Tol-erance are taken to be thermal expansion coefficients, where the Alpha Tolerance is a configuration file parameter and is taken to be 0.05 by default. For example; if the user wanted to enter the thermal expansion coefficient equivalent to 11.37in./100ft., the calcu-lation would be:

Chapter III Piping Input

Note:

A cut short is no more than reducing a pipe elements length to zero (for example; if we wanted 8.5 cm of cold spring we could put in an 8.5 cm long element and then thermally shrink its length to zero), a thermal expansion coefficient of 1.0 will do exactly that. This allows cold spring to be manipulated as an individual thermal case rather than as a concentrated force. However, the alpha tolerance in the setup file must be set to some number slightly larger than 1.0, i.e.

Alpha Tolerance = 1.1

There are nine pressure fields, to allow up to nine different pressures cases. <F1> can be used to obtain the current input units for the pressure fields (English default is lbs/in.2 ). When multiple pressures are entered, the user should be particularly careful with the setup of the analysis load cases, and should inspect CAESAR IIs recommendations carefully before proceeding. Access to operating conditions 4 through 9 is granted through the Extended Operating Conditions input screen, accessible via the Ellipses Dots button directly to the right of the standard Temperature and Pressure input fields.

Chapter III Piping Input Radius CAESAR II makes the long radius bend calculation whenever a bend is input. If the user wishes to use some other bend radius the new bend radius can be entered in this field.

Type
For most codes, this refers to the number of attached flanges, and can be selected from the drop list. If there are no flanges on the bend then leave the Type f i el d blank. A bend should be considered flanged if there is any heavy/rigid body within 2 diameters of the bend that will significantly restrict the bends ability to ovalize. When using the BS 7159 or UKOOA Codes with Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) pipe, this entry refers to the material laminate type, and may be 1, 2, or 3. These laminate types are All chopped strand mat (CSM) constructing with internal and external surface tissue reinforced layer.

Angle Angle to a point on the bend curvature. The user may place additional nodes at any point on the bend curvature providing the added nodes are not within 5 degrees of each other. (The 5 degree node-spacing limit may be changed via the configuration file if necessary.) Note that the element To node is always physically located at the far end of the bend. By default CAESAR II places a node at the midpoint of the bend (designated by the letter M in this field), as well as at the 0-degree position (start) of the bend if possible.

Chapter III Piping Input


Miter Points
Number of cuts in the bend if mitered. The bend SIF scratch pad may be invoked from the pipe spreadsheet by choosing Kaux - Review SIFs at Bend Nodes. When the user enters a valid mitered bend node number, CAESAR II tells the user if the mitered bend input is closely or widely spaced. If the bend is determined to be widely spaced and the number of miter cuts is greater than 1, then it is recommended that the bend be broken down into n single cut widely spaced miters, where n is the total number of cuts in the bend. The number of cuts and the radius of the bend are all that is required to calculate the SIFs and flexibilities for the bend as defined in the B31 codes. The bend radius and the bend miter spacing are related by the following equations:

Closely Spaced Miters R = S / (2 tan . )

q = Bend Angle / (2 n) where n = number of miter cuts Widely Spaced Miters R = r 2 (1.0 + cot q) / 2.0 r 2 = (ri + ro) / 2.0 = Bend Angle / 2.0II Training on Caesar
