ASME Materials
This is the documentation for the ASME Material module. It's basically a database module (see ΣCalc Documentation for more information about types of modules) so it will not perform any calculation.
The data used by the module come from the ASME BPVC Section II and are updated regularly as new version of the code is published.
1. Module
Fig. 0.1 shows what the USER will see when accessing the module. The fields from the column header are described in the Item 2 of this documentation.
Fig. 0.1 - ASME Material tableItem | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Column header with data description. A detailed description can be found in the of this documentation. The header can be sorted by clicking in the arrows beside the title. The data unit, if applicable, will be show between brackets. |
| 2 | Current Module version. You can check the changes in the Changelog section of this documentation. |
| 3 | Documentation icon, if clicked, will open this page. |
| 4 | The data are separated in 4 tables: Properties, Allowable Stress, Tensile Strength and Yield Strength. The USER can choose which table he want to see by clicking in the table selection menu. |
| 5 | Search field. It'll only search the Material Name data. |
2. Units
For now, only International Unit System[ 1 ] or just SI Units is accepted, but we're working to implement the Imperial Unit System[ 2 ] in the following versions, as it's still used by many countries and companies.
The Table below show the relationship between International and Imperial unit system.
Unit | International | Imperial | Conversion (SI → Imperial) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Temperature | °C | °F | ((°C × 9/5) + 32) / 32 |
| Pressure | MPa | PSi | MPA * 145 |
| Length | mm | in | mm * 25.4 |
| Density | kg/cm^3 | lb/in^3 | kg/cm^2 * 36.127 |
| Volume | m^3 | ft^3 | m^3 * 35.315 |
| Weight | kg | lb | kg * 2.205 |
| Force | N | lbf | N * 4.448 |
| Area | mm^2 | in^2 | mm^2 * 645.2 |
| Moment | N.mm | lbf.in | N.mm * 0.00885 |
