PCC view material window

Details

Purpose

This window is used to view all PCC materials in the database. The material properties can not be changed here. To make user materials that do not (yet) exist in the PCC material database or need to be different , see PCC user material window. 

The materials are always available for all pipeclasses and projects for all .pccb projects files and for all PCC versions. For further information on material selection see PCC material selection window. 

Description

The values for the material properties are displayed according the selected unit system with metric SI units or US costumary units. For further information on units see PCC unit selection window. 

The following data fields are available:

  • 'User Material List', the list of user defined materials in the active .pccb projects file. The table columns are the material properties. 
  • 'Details', tab sheet with detailed information.
    • 'Material properties'. The properties are equal with the properties in the upper list.
    • 'Material Document Issue Note List', a list of notes about requirements and limits for application. The columns contain information about the source of the material properties. 
  • 'Yield/Tensile', tab sheet with several tables with proof stresses at elevated temperatures. 
    • 'Yield stresses (0.2% proof strength)'
    • 'Yield stresses (1.0% proof strength)'
    • 'Tensile stresses (Ultimate strength)'
  • 'ASME II part D allow.', tab sheet with several tables with allowable stresses at elevated temperatures. 
    • 'ASME II part D table 1A, 1B, 3 for ASME VIII div.1 / XII' for ferrous or non-ferrous or bolting materials. These tables use the same table view here for the calculation codes ASME section VIII div.1 and ASME section XII.
      • 'table 1A', maximum allowable stress values for ferrous materials.
      • 'table 1B', maximum allowable stress values for non-ferrous materials.
      • 'table 3', maximum allowable stress values for bolting materials. 
    • 'ASME II part D table 2A, 2B for ASME III / VIII div.2' for ferrous or non-ferrous materials. These tables use the same table view here for the calculation codes ASME section III and ASME section VIII div.2 class 1. 
      • 'table 2A', maximum allowable stress values for ferrous materials.
      • 'table 2B', maximum allowable stress values for non-ferrous materials.
  • 'ASME B31.X allow.', tab sheet with several tables with allowable stresses at elevated temperatures.
    • 'ASME B31.1' for ferrous or non-ferrous or bolting materials. These tables use the same table view here for the calculation code ASME B31.1. 
      • 'Table A-1',  maximum allowable stress values for carbon steel.
      • 'Table A-2',  maximum allowable stress values for low and intermediate alloy steel.
      • 'Table A-3',  maximum allowable stress values for stainless steel.
      • 'Table A-4',  maximum allowable stress values for nickel and high nickel alloys. 
      • 'Table A-5',  maximum allowable stress values for cast iron.
      • 'Table A-6',  maximum allowable stress values for copper and copper alloys. 
      • 'Table A-7',  maximum allowable stress values for aluminum and aluminum alloys. 
      • 'Table A-8',  maximum allowable stress values for temperatures 1200 F and above. 
      • 'Table A-9',  maximum allowable stress values for titanium and titanium alloys. 
      • 'Table A-10',  maximum allowable stress values for bolts, nuts and studs. 
    • 'ASME B31.3 Table A-1, A-4' for ferrous or non-ferrous or bolting materials. These tables use the same table view here for the calculation code ASME B31.3.
      • 'Table A-1',  basic allowable stress values for metals. 
      • 'Table A-4', design stress values for bolting materials
    • 'ASME B31.3 Table K-1' for ferrous or non-ferrous materials. This table is for the calculation code ASME B31.3 Chapter IX. This part is for high pressure purposes.
    • 'ASME B31.12' for ferrous or non-ferrous or bolting materials. These tables use the same table view here for the calculation code ASME B31.12.
      • 'Table IX-1A',  basic allowable stress values for metals. 
      • 'Table IX-4', design stress values for bolting materials
  • 'ASME B31.4/8 dummy', tab sheet with several tables without allowable stresses.
    • 'ASME B31.4 (dummy)', only one empty record is needed to indicate that the material can be used in ASME B31.4.
    • 'ASME B31.8 (dummy)', only one empty record is needed to indicate that the material can be used in ASME B31.8.
