 | PC-PISCES is based on the design methodology for uncased railroad and     |
 | highway crossings developed by the Gas Research Institute and embodied in |
 | the American Petroleum Institute RP-1102, Steel Pipelines Crossing        |
 | Railroads and Highways.                                                   |

 | PC-PISCES, the only Windows software for designing pipeline crossings at  |
 | highways and railroads, is guaranteed to make your job easier with such   |
 | features as:                                                              |
 |                                                                           |
 | An intuitive, easy-to use interface                                       |
 | Input fields with minimum, maximum, and default input parameters          |
 | Creates tables for design checks, RP 1102 calculations and design factors |
 | Generates graphs for: wall thickness vs. depth; stress vs. depth; impact  |
 | factor; earth load and live load design curves; longitudinal stress       |
 | reduction factor; and double track factors                                |
 | Software is available for both Liquid Pipelines [PC-Pisces(L)] and Gas    |
 | Pipelines [PC-Pisces(G)].                                                 |
 | PC-Pisces is a computer software program that was developed based on the  |
 | design methodology for uncased railroad and highway crossings developed   |
 | under various Gas Research Institute (GRI) contracts and embodied in the  |
 | American Petroleum Institute (API) Recommended Practice (RP) 1102 Steel   |
 | pipelines Crossing Railroads and Highways (1993). This design methodology |
 | relates to steel pipelines installed using trenchless construction        |
 | methods, in particular auger boring, with the crossing perpendicular to   |
 | the railroad or highway. PC-Pisces is available for analysis of either    |
 | gas pipeline crossings, PC-Pisces(G), or liquid pipeline crossings,       |
 | PC-Pisces(L).                                                             |
 |                                                                           |
 | Software Applicability                                                    |
 | The design methodology used in PC-Pisces is such that the pipelines having|
 | diameters of D=2 to 42 in. (51-1067mm) can be analyzed. The wall thickness|
 | to diameter ratios must be within the range of 0.01 to 0.08 with railroad |
 | crossing analyzed to depths of 6-14 feet (1.8 to 4.3 m) and highway       |
 | crossings to depths of 3-10 feet (0.9-3.0 m). The loading condition for   |
 | railroads is based on four (4) axles distributed to the track surface, as |
 | would develop from the trailing and leading axles sets from sequential    |
 | cars. Highway loadings are based on both single- and tandem-axle truck    |
 | loading configurations.                                                   |
 |                                                                           |
