Design Stress (Sd)
Represents the allowable design stress, referred to as Sd in the API code. This value is automatically registered by the software if the material was selected from the database.
If necessary, the value of design allowable stress obtained from the database may be overridden by typing in a different value.
For stainless steels, this value is displayed as zero, since a temperature versus
allowable table is used instead.
Hydro Test Stress (St)
Represents the allowable test stress, referred to as St in the API code. This value is automatically registered by the software if the material was selected from the database.
If necessary, the value of test allowable stress obtained from the database may be overridden by typing in a different value.
Minimum Yield Stress
Enter the material's minimum yield stress. For stainless steels, this value should be left blank and the Design Stress/Minimum Yield Strength table values defined.
Minimum Tensile Stress
Enter the material's minimum tensile stress. For stainless steels, this value should be left blank and the Design Stress/Minimum Yield Strength table values defined.
Maximum Tensile Stress
Enter the material's maximum tensile stress. For stainless steels, this value should be left blank.
Maximum Thickness
Enter the material's maximum material thickness. For stainless steels, this value should be left blank.
Design Stress
Represents the allowable design stress, referred to as Sd in the API code. This value is automatically registered by the software if the material was selected from the database.
If necessary, the value of design allowable stress obtained from the database may be overridden by typing in a different value.
For stainless steels, this value is displayed as zero, since a temperature versus
allowable table is used instead.
Minimum Yield Strength
Enter the yield stress, Fy, as a function of temperature.
