MATERIAL:

LENGTH OF PIPE, L = m

OUTSIDE DIAMETER, D = mm

WALL THICKNESS, t = mm

STD PIPE WALL THICKNESS, tstd= mm

MOMENT OF INERTIA, IP= 0.0000E+00 mm

STD PIPE MOMENT OF INERTIA, Istd= 0.0000E+00 mm

CORRECTION FACTOR = #DIV/0!

MAXIMUM METAL TEMPERATURE =oC [65 TEMP 540]

MINIMUM METAL TEMPERATURE = 20oC

MIN LENGTH OF PIPE, h = 0.000 m

MIN LENGTH OF PIPE, W = 0.5h = 0.000 m
