When a value is entered in this field, TRIFLEX® will simply apply the entered load. No calculations for projected area will be performed, no shape factor will be considered and entering pipe insulation will have no effect. Wind load must be entered as a positive number. Wind Load and Uniform Load Buttons The data is organized in related data groups on this dialog. On the first line of the Wind Load dialog, TRIFLEX® provides three radio buttons for the User to select from. The default is “None”. If the User wishes to Wind Loads, the User should click on the Wind Loading radio button. If the User wishes to enter Uniform Loads, the User should click on the Uniform Loading radio button. If the radio button is selected, all fields on the dialog will be grayed out and “None” inaccessible by the User. Wind Load calculated by TRIFLEX® Wind Load: (lbs. per linear inch of pipe) calculated by TRIFLEX®:where: V1 = Wind speed supplied by user in the Wspeed field to accommodate extraneous factors. (Suggested Wspeed = V x I x sqrt( (Kz). When the User enters Wind Speed, TRIFLEX® will automatically calculate additional loads and stresses that result from the wind loads. The true effect of the wind loads will be projected onto the piping system.
