Database Units

A number of units are simple real numbers with no concept of units. For example the temperature on a pipe or branch is a real number but there is nothing to say if this is in Fahrenheit or Centigrade. Pressure can be in any number of units but the attribute is just a number. For this reason, the PSI system needs to tell CAESAR II what units to expect. This is stored in the Pipe Stress Interface Settings window.

For each of the properties above, there is a list of appropriate values matching those in CAESAR II.

The Stored units are set to default values, for example, Fluid Density is by default measured in kg/cu.m, but needs to be checked and changed as necessary before the pipe is sent to be stressed.
