The Monash Tool is an Excel-based pipe stress prediction tool developed for large-diameter cast iron water pipes. The tool provides a deterministic approach to assess 1) nominal (hoop) tensile stress, 2) stress concentration factor (SCF) and maximum tensile stress for fracture initiation, 3) critical crack length for pipe burst, and 4) remaining life to initiation of local failure leading to a leak. In addition, the probability calculation of the pipe failure prediction and remaining life is also being incorporated.
p>Explanatory notes and a set up guide were also developed and are included with the tool.
