Specifies the estimated temperature of the vessel or nozzle junction.
Typical units (depending on your unit system):
-
ºF
-
ºC
For WRC 297, API 650, and PD 5500, you must also type a valid vessel material number in the corresponding field. The software uses the estimated temperature to calculate the hot modulus-of-elasticity.
For Custom, this field is not used by the software. It is for information only and provides a way to document the basis for stiffness calculations performed by another method.
