Description
5
Default catalogue
Warning pivot angle for pipe hangers
This default is also associated with hangers and determines the angle above which a warning is displayed to the user. If the user attempts to support a section of pipe whose slope is greater than or equal to the
MDS
PIVWARN angle, an error is displayed but the user is allowed to continue with the design process.
Note:
It is essential that the value of
MDS
PIVWARN is always less than the value of
MDS
MAXPIVA.
In the example given in
Figure 3:8.: MDSMAXPIVA and MDSPIVWARN
, the designer would have received a warning alert, as the slope of the pipe is greater than the
MDS
PIVWARN angle but less than the
MDS
MAXPIVA angle.
Note:
The MDS manufacturers hanger interfaces (LICAD, PSDesigner and Witch Hanger) will override these default settings.
