Note:

Values shown in AutoPIPE Vessel are due to both nozzle orientation and unit conversion. In this example, Nozzle is in the top position to simplify orientation changes. Then considering only unit conversions, results are correct as shown below:

• 1 dekanewton = 2.24808943 pound-forces
  1 daN = 2.24808943 lbf
• 1 dekanewton = 10 newtons
  1 daN = 10 N
