A existing engineering tool, in form of a finite element model (FEM) that predicts the mechanical properties of a steel pipeline fitting based on heat transfer analysis and phase transformation calculations has been coded by McMaster University. The code is built based on prior plant trials. It serves as an engineering tool that can predict if a given part with a specified chemistry can be heat treated within the requirements of CSA standard Z245.11-17. This program was built based upon McMaster University’s propriety thermal model.
