Re: SOFTWARE FOR PIPE THICKNESS CALC

I still dont get why you need a software to figure out the req'd thickness?

You dont need the nodes, the piping outlines to calc the thickness of the pipe (min. req'd and nominal) and you dont even need to write a macro. Its a straight forward application of 304 in B31.3 -2002. You can get the number in less than 5 minutes.
