What does LOC mean in the General Stress Report?

0

General Stress location Total stress is calculated every 15 deg and the zero degree axis for the total stress location angle in a clockwise direction around the pipe. The 0 degree axis is the local axis of the pipe cross-section, i.e. perpendicular to the pipe axis, corresponding to the resultant in-plane bending moment. For example, if the local bending moments are my and mz, then arctan (my/mz) is the location of the 0 degree reference axis for the general stress location relative to the local y axis. Note: For straight pipe in-plane bending is arbitrary since no plane of bending like an elbow.
