Question:
Can AutoPIPE TTA be used to analyze a Pipeline caring steam?
Answer:
Unfortunately, the AutoPIPE TTA module does not consider steam as a content for evaluation as an input. Further, the calculation will continue to consider the fluid as water or heavy water regardless of the temperature and pressure, even if the saturation limit is exceeded.
