All the flange drawing shown in the application came from the ASME
BPVC Section VIII Division 1 Appendix[ 2 ], that's why the only way to change it is through the
Dimensions -> Flange Type drop down
list. After selecting the desired type the drawing will
automatically change. The drawing with the real dimensions will only
be shown in the results page but we are trying to implement it in
the input page. If you want to follow all the upcoming changes see
the Development Page
In the future we'll also show the drawing of the gasket, bolt and
top view of the flange as it may help the user to better understand
what is being designed.
Use Registered Project: if the user select this checkbox,
it'll load all projects created by the user or shared with him.
Use Registered Equipment: the same as above, but it'll load
all equipment instead.
Description: brief description of what you are designing.
For example: heat exchanger cover or flange for inlet nozzle.
It'll help you identify which part of the pressure vessel this
calculation belong.
Project: the user have three options:
Use and existent project;
Create a new project;
Don't link the module to any project.
Equipment: the same as above but with equipment:
Use and existent equipment;
Create a new equipment;
Don't link the module to any equipment.
Customer: the value in this field will be used in the
Project Management module
and in the calculation report. The User can left it blank so it
won't be linked to any Customer.
Report Number: although it says Number, the user can
create any combination of number, letter and some special
characters. Each equipment should have an unique number.
System of Units: our application supports two unit system:
International System of Units
