Feature 1002473
Remove code compliancy statement from Code Summary reports
The system does not satisfy ASME B31.8 (2016) code requirements
for the selected options
The compliance statement was taken out because it implied that all conditions of a given code were acceptable and was too generic. Users could assume that AutoPIPE is taking into account every requirement of the code, but this is not the case because only a small portion of the code deals with pipe flexibility and support. Certain circumstances are also not addressed in this section, so it is up to the pipe stress engineer to be aware of the code requirements and make sure they are followed. Because the program cannot verify that the geometry is correctly modelled or have control over how users combine or build load situations, for instance, the D/t = 50 is merely a warning and is not prevented by the program.
Some of our users use the program as a "black box" and expect it to do everything for them, so we removed this statement as it can be factually incorrect in some cases and the responsibility of stating that the piping system meets all the code requirements is the pipe stress engineer, not the program's.
