Prior to AFT Arrow 6, pipe material properties were compiled from a variety of unofficial sources. Many of the original sources are now obsolete. Beginning in AFT Arrow 6, pipe material properties are taken directly from national/international standards such as: ASTM, ANSI, AWWA, and ASME. Several new material standards are being added. For example: DIN and JIS. With the addition of a significant number of new pipe material standards, the increased volume and scope necessitate splitting the pipe material library into several smaller independent libraries. All of the pipe material found in AFT Arrow 5 is still available, but is now called "AFT Customary".

Maintaining several independent pipe libraries facilitates including or excluding specific standards. The Library Browser can be used to "Connect" or Disconnect" each of the pipe material libraries. A list of available pipe libraries can be found below.

Note that while AFT attempts to provide this standard information to make defining pipe information easier for the user, the prudent engineer will always verify this information against manufacturer specifications. ASTM and ANSI standards exist for the thickness and diameter specifications for some of these materials. Furthermore, AFT attempts to source reference information from reputable and authoritative sources. However, data for pipe roughness and thermophysical properties including density, thermal conductivity, modulus of elasticity, and Poisson's ratio have no single standard to follow. Thus, the user should always check that the pipe material inputs match the actual pipe material data for their system.
