Material Data

The material data available to other components is now included in the Rated Flange window.

• A new material default has been added for rated flange for both metric and customary units. Just as the other material defaults, this is located on the Materials tab under Tools > Defaults. It works the same way as the materials default for the other components. This default replaces both the material group default and the original material default for rated flange.
• SA-105 is the default when the software is shipped.
• The materials default for rated flange only allows selection of materials that are included in one of the following ASME references: B16.5 2003, B16.5 2009, B16.5 2013, B16.47 1996, B16.47 2006, B16.47 2011, and B16.47 20112017.
• The material search in the rated flange form only allows selection of materials that are included in the current active reference: B16.5 2003, B16.5 2009, B16.5 2013, B16.47 1996, B16.47 2006, B16.47 2011, or B16.47 20112017.
• Due to the material changes, designs patched from 2012.0 or an earlier version of DesignCalcs will not have a material set; in most cases the math can still run as the Material Group will still be set.

Upon creation of a rated flange, DesignCalcs will attempt to find the optimal flange class. If an optimal rated flange cannot be determined, the flange will start at class 150.
