Over the years the fluid handling industry has been compelled to use standard pipe flanges because of the large cost of calculating the stresses in original designs forced by the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. As you all know, these calculations take more than a day of a highly-paid Engineer's time. Now with the computer programs from Codeflange.com this computation can be done in less than five minutes and new tries made in seconds. With this addition to the Engineering software library it is now possible to design flanges which more exactly fit the specific requirements of the application. This will enable you to save weight, bulk and cost by designing pipe flanges that are specific to your application.
