Pipe Properties
Enter the pipe
diameter and pipe thickness and the following
properties are calculated:
 Area
Weight
Buoyancy
Inner Area
D/t
ratio
Surface Area |
Moment of Inertia
Section Modulus
Radius of Gyration
Polar Moment
Plastic Modulus
Circumference |
|
You can optionally enter the pipe yield strength, length
and K-factor and have the axial and bending allowable
stresses
calculated using API RP 2A 21st Edition equations.
Another feature of the program is the ability to calculate the minimum
required pipe thickness based on a minimum required area, weight,
moment of inertia, or section modulus. How many
times have you run numbers and needed a specific section
modulus to resist a given moment or a specific moment of inertia
in order to limit the deflection? How about a
specific area to resist a given axial load? Well,
Maxim 1.0 can back calculate the thickness by performing
the following steps:
Enter pipe diameter.
Click on the box next to the property you wish the
thickness to be based upon.
Enter the appropriate property.
Thickness
is automatically calculated.
Beam Properties
Enter the basic beam geometry
and the following
properties will be calculated:
|
Moment of Inertia
Section Modulus
Radius of Gyration
Polar Moment
|
Properties are
calculated for both the major (y-y) and minor
(z-z) axis.
|
|
Do you have a beam with box
plates? Just enter the optional
box plate thickness and the property
calculations will account for them. Click on
the 'View Shape' to confirm that the information you
enter is correct. Box plates are only shown
with the thickness is set to greater than zero.

Other Features Available
The program also includes the
following features:
Capacity of vessel and tank that are round and square
in shape.
Weight
of miscellaneous plate shapes - circular or square and
ring stiffeners.
Math
module that features interpolation and basic
equations to solve triangles.
Metric
to US or US to Metric unit conversions.
Common US to US unit conversions, also convert from
decimal to architectural units.
