The default value for each of these new parameters is 0.0. A value of zero effectively disables
the pressure and temperature pipe volume compensation routine. When entering a value for
the thermal expansion coefficient and modulus of elasticity, keep in mind that the numeric
entry already includes an exponent multiplier. For the Thermal Expansion Coefficient the
multiplier is 10
-6
and for the Modulus of Elasticity the multiplier is 10
6
.
Typical values for each parameter are shown below:
