INTRODUCTION
AutoPIPE version 9.6 supports ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel code case N-755-1 for using polyethylene pipes for
class 3 buried piping system. This document provides a quick walk through for modeling, analyzing and generating
output reports for a model with code as ASME B31.1 and with HDPE material defined.
The menu options and dialog controls in this tutorial are displayed in Green Italic.
Additional notes and tips are displayed in Blue Italics.
MODEL OVERVIEW
High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipes are connected with metallic piping using a metallic flange and HDPE
adaptor.
The pipe properties for the provided model are adjusted to be similar to Supply Line of Callaway Plant Unit 1
(ULNRC-05553). The pipeline geometry of the supplied model however is different than that of the model in the
report. The results for some of the stress categories provided by AutoPIPE are also compared with the values in the
report.

Note: For this tutorial, the properties of pipe used for HDPE miter bend are similar to that of connected HDPE Pipe.
ASME CC N-755-1 requires the minimum wall thickness of the miter bend to be at least 1.22 t fab min of the connected
pipe. A consistency check warning is provided by AutoPIPE in case the miter bend wall thickness is less than 1.22 t fab
min of the connected pipe.

After the General Model Options, the Segment dialog will be displayed as shown below:
The first point name and the offsets from origin, if any, should be defined here. A Pipe data identifier needs to be
defined at this point. Define a metallic pipe with SA-106-B specifications here.
Note: The very first pipe identifier defined in the model using Segment dialog cannot be tagged as an HDPE pipe.
This is currently a limitation for AutoPIPE.

The Operating Pressure & Temperature dialog would be displayed next. We will define one ambient case, three
operating cases and leave the last case to be updated for seismic wave propagation.
Enter the pressure and temperature details as displayed in the dialog above and press OK on the dialog.
Now you can start defining the metallic piping model geometry. On point A00, insert an anchor which would
represent the metallic pipe coming out of a building. With point A00 selected, invoke Insert > Anchor... and click OK
on the dialog without modifying any data.

Next, define a pipe run by invoking Insert > Run... and enter the information on the dialog as shown below:
Note that the Generate Points is set to 2. The Pipe data identifier is METAL, as defined previously. Press OK on the
Run Point dialog.

Now that the metal pipe has been created, define properties for an HDPE pipe to be inserted in the model. Invoke
Insert > Pipe Properties... to define a HDPE pipe identifier. The Pipe Properties dialog will be displayed. Check the
HDPE Material checkbox on the dialog, and note that the fields on the dialog are updated to accommodate HDPE
pipe properties.
Set the pipe properties as displayed in the screen capture above and press OK on the dialog.
Note: When HDPE Material checkbox is checked, a confirmation dialog is displayed to the user. Currently, HDPE
pipe identifier cannot be changed to a metallic pipe.
AutoPIPE will detect a change in material and would display the Operating Pressure & Temperature dialog for any
updates that the user wants to carry out.

You can update the load duration field now on the Operating Pressure & Temperature dialog for each thermal
case. Notice that the dialog is now switched to accommodate HDPE piping point requirements and the Expansion,
Hot modulus, Hot allow and Poisson's fields are being fetched from HDPE library. Make the changes as displayed in
the screen capture and press OK on the Operating Pressure & Temperature dialog.

At this point, you can define a flange connection at the point where the metallic piping and the HDPE piping would
be connected. While point A02 is selected, invoke Insert > Flange... to insert a flange connection at the point. The
Flange dialog will be displayed as shown below:
Enter the information as displayed in the screen capture above and press OK.
Note: Currently, no additional checks are performed for the HDPE-Metallic flange connection as no data is
available. User can define User Joint Type including B1, B2, and SIF values for the flange point.

Note that the Dimension Ratio has been modified to provide more thickness for the bend. We can now insert an
HDPE mitered bend using the pipe identifier defined. Invoke Insert > Bend... to insert a close miter elbow with 4
cuts (5 segments). Enter the information on the Bend Point dialog as displayed below and press OK.

The bend is completed in two steps. User would need to define a run after the bend for AutoPIPE to identify the
direction of the bend. Invoke Insert > Run... to insert a run point after the bend. Enter the information as displayed
in the dialog below and press OK.
When OK is pressed on the Run Point dialog, AutoPIPE detects change in the Pipe Identifier on the Run Point
dialog. The Location dialog is displayed which asks the user where the change takes effect. Enter the information
on the Location dialog as displayed below and press OK.

Note: ASME CC N-755-1 requires that the maximum DR of the bend segment be 13.5 and the minimum wall
thickness of mitered elbow segments shall be at least 1.22 t fab min . AutoPIPE allows to insert bend segments greater
than DR 13.5 and wall thickness less than 1.22 t fab min , however, a warning message is displayed in the consistency
check if any such bends are found in the model.
Note: ASME CC N-755-1 only permits insertion of 3 segment and 5 segment mitered bends. AutoPIPE limits the
number of cuts to 4 and 6 (3 and 5 segment bends).
Note: Alternatively, you can define the run with the same identifier as the pipe and modify the bend pipe identifier
later by selecting the bend and invoking Modify > Pipe Properties over Range... defined in next section.
Define a run after the bend point by invoking Insert > Run... and entering the information below to complete the
bend and HDPE run insertion. Enter the information as displayed in the dialog below and press OK:

Now we would modify the Pipe identifier for the bend at point A06 to be set to BEND. Select the bend so that it is
highlighted as below:
Invoke Modify > Pipe Properties Over Range... and select the Pipe Identifier on the Pipe Properties dialog as BEND
from the drop down:

As soon as the pipe identifier is selected, AutoPIPE displays a note that previously defined pipe data will be used
and the Pipe Properties dialog is closed.
Also select the pipe section from A03 to A04 N to modify the pipe identifier for that range to HDPE.
After selecting the range, invoke Modify > Pipe Properties Over Range... and select the Pipe Identifier on the Pipe
Properties dialog as HDPE from the drop down. This will set the pipe identifier for the pipe before bend as HDPE
which is defined for the run portion.

HDPE combinations".
To be able to define HDPE Seismic Induced Combinations, select the required load cases for the combinations
using the "Seismic Induced Combinations" dialog. Click on the "Seismic Combs." button to invoke the "Seismic
Induced Combinations". Update the dialog as shown below to define a single Seismic Induced Combination using
T5 as the Equivalent Seismic Wave Propagation cases, S1 as the Seismic Anchor Movement Case, and U1 as the Soil
Settlement case. Also, check the "Reset load combinations" to reset the default load combinations to include the
Seismic Induced combination as well.

The Seismic Induced combination shall be added to the default code combinations:
Note: Up to four seismic induced combinations can be defined using the dialog above. More seismic induced
combinations may be defined by duplicating an existing combination and changing the load cases in the duplicate
load combination.
The allowable values for all the combinations are calculated automatically. To override the automatic allowable
with a user defined value, uncheck the Auto Update check box for the combination and enter the desired
allowable value under Allowable Stress column. Update the allowable stress for "Circ. Comp-HDPE{1}" from
Automatic to 340 psi as shown below:
