Why we created this program:

Archon performs a large amount of pipe stress and pipe support analysis. The man hours spent looking up the required input were significant. This program has significantly increased our productivity by providing a wide range of required input data through one source of information. The ice and wind load feature alone can save you several hours of analysis time.

Program Features:

This program provides a wide range of information on pipe properties and related items commonly used by engineers. Some of the features are:

Pipe Data Base:

This section provides information on pipe diameters, weights, section properties and bend radiuses. 

Socket Weld Fittings:

This feature provides dimensional data on socket welded fittings based on pressure rating and pipe size.

Material:

This feature provides information on commonly used piping material such as Young’s modulus, coefficient of thermal expansion and allowable ASME III stress based on system temperature.

Standard Tee Dimensions:

This feature provides standard tee dimensions based on pipe size.

Reducer Lengths:

This feature provides reducer lengths based on pipe size.

Flange Weights:

This feature provides the weight of various flange types based on pipe size and pressure rating.

Wind and Ice Loads:

This feature provides wind and Ice loads on piping based on the requirements of ASCE 7-10. We consider this feature one of the most valuable features in the software. It eliminates the tedious process of working through the details of ASCE 7 and gives you pipe loads with just a few clicks.

The program will run on Windows 7, 8 and 10 operating systems.

The program help uses a PDF file. In order for the help to be viewed from the program, the operating computer must be able to read a pdf file. If necessary a free Adobe

PDF reader may be downloaded and installed from https://get.adobe.com/reader/.

Program Cost: $55.00
