Dear Mr. O'Reilly:
Please find attached a description of the Quitkpipe computer program used in the structural analysis for small bore piping systems. This description will be included, as shown, in Revision 12 to the FSAR.
This should satisfactorily resolve Inspector concerns in regard to Inspector Follow-Up ltem 413/83-51-02, Piping Analysis Modeling.
Very truly yours,

D,pcription:
Quickpipe is a computer program for the structural asalysis and code compliance evaluation of small bore piping systems.
It is used for qualification of ASME Section III, Class 2 and 3 piping as well as some seismic qualification of ANSI B31.1 piping.
Quickpipe can perform the analysis by means of either a stress-controlled or frequency-controlled basis for gravity, thermal and/or seisr.ic loading cases.
The program also features suitable algorithms to optimize excessive support locations spotted in the analysis if desired.
Quickpipe is an extension of Impe11 Corporation's Superpipe program developed primarily as an alternative to the hand calculation methods required by the Alternate Analysis procedures described in Section 3.7.3.8.3.
Extent and Limitation of its application:
Quickpipe is limited to analysis of 4" and under nominal piping systems.
C.
Verification:
The program has been bench-marked against the Impell program Superpipe.
