Following piping codes are updated. Refer Piping Code Compliance from CAEPIPE Code Compliance Manual for more details.

• ASME B31.1 (2018)

• ASME B31.8 (2018)

UPDATED MATERIAL LIBRARIES: Material libraries for the following codes are updated. Refer Piping Code Compliance from CAEPIPE Code Compliance Manual for more details.

• ASME B31.1 (2018)

• ASME B31.8 (2018)

New feature is added to compute Static Seismic g's as per ASCE/SEI 7-10. Refer to Sections titled "Static Seismic Load - ASCE/SEI 7-10" from CAEPIPE User's Manual and "ASCE/SEI 7-10" from CAEPIPE Code Compliance Manual for details.

New feature is added to compute design wind forces as per ASCE/SEI 7-10. Refer to Sections titled "Wind Load - ASCE/SEI 7-10" from CAEPIPE User's Manual and "ASCE/SEI 7-10" from CAEPIPE Code Compliance Manual for details.

New feature is added to include or exclude Insulation Thickness for Buried Pipe Section while calculating the maximum soil loads and resulting soil stiffnesses. This can be included or excluded through Layout Window > Misc > Soils. Refer Section titled "Buried Piping" from CAEPIPE Technical Reference Manual for details.

Number of Characters for Support Tag is increased to 14 from 11.

New feature is added to input In-plane and Out-of-Plane SIFs in User SIF input dialog when piping code = NONE.

For Piping Code = EN13480, Stress Intensification Factors (SIFs) for Reducers and Welds are calculated using Table H.1 of EN 13480-3 (2017) as Table H.3 does not provide SIF equations for these elements. Refer Piping Code Compliance from CAEPIPE Code Compliance Manual for details.

Allowable Pressure calculations for Miter Bends are updated for ASME B31.1 (2018) and ASME B31.3 (2016) as detailed in CAEPIPE Code Compliance Manual.

CAEPIPE User's Manual, Technical Reference Manual, Verification Manual and Code Compliance Manual have been enhanced and updated to be in line with software version 10.0. These Manuals can be downloaded from here.

Bug Correction: CAEPIPE was not turning ON the Creep Analysis for the applicable codes when the Maximum Temperature is defined at T4 through T10.

Bug Correction: In CAEPIPE B31.1 Material Library, for a few materials with Joint Efficiency Factor (E) < 1.00, the value of Allowable Stress (S) is entered as "SE" instead of "S". For example, for material "A53 GRADE B (ERW)", the Joint Efficiency Factor (E) is 0.85 and the Allowable Stress (S) is entered as 14600 psi instead of 17176 psi (= 14600/0.85).
