Problem:
The following is displayed when performing a model consistency check report:
W2143-108: Stress Range factor > 1 is not allowed for non-ferrous materials. At Pipe(s
Why is that and how to Avoid it?
Solution:
As the message indicates the Stress Range Factor is greater than 1.00. Reduce the value to be 1.00 or lower to remove this message.
From AutoPIPE help:
Note: In the 2004 edition of B31.3, Appendix P was still restricted to a reduction factor, f, of less than, or equal to 1.0. Therefore, this field is not available when the Use Appendix P (B31.3) option is enabled, for the 2004 edition of B31.3, on the General Model Options dialog. Instead a Range reduction factor, f, can be defined. For editions of B31.3 after 2004, this field is available even when the Use Appendix P (B31.3) option is enabled.
Typically this occurs when the factor is set and then Use Appendix P general option is enabled.
Avoidance:
1. On the Tools> Model Consistency check report> notice the warning message and any offending pipe material ID names:
Example:
2. Open this Pipe Properties dialog screen, and reduce the factor to be less than 1.00
Example:
