The option for Division 2 has a pop up message that states, "The Division 2 code rules are currently in active development and intended for review and testing only. Do you wish to proceed?". Once you select a Code and hit the Save and Close button this field will become grayed out and no longer editable. 

Code Year: This field is a drop-down that allows the User to select a Code year from a selection of 2010, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2021 and any future Code years that are available for use. This field can be changed at any point in time.

         The following fields are not used by this software; they are listed here for the convenience of filling out the data forms in DesignDocs and FormPro.

Radiography (Circ.): This field represents the degree of radiography performed on the circumferential joints (girth seams). See UW-11 for more information.

Radiography (Long.): This field represents the degree of radiography performed on the longitudinal joints (long seams). See UW-11 for more information.

Safety Factor: This field is a drop-down that allows the User to select either 3.5:1 or 4:1 when the Code selected is ASME Section VIII, Division 1. The User can select 2.4:1, 3.0:1, or 4:1 when the Code selected is ASME Section VIII, Division 2.

Tube Side Radiography: This field is only available when the Vessel Type selected is Heat Exchanger. This field is a drop-down that allows the User to select either NONE, RT1, RT2, RT3, or RT4. This field will populate the Radiography fields on other components. For example from the Tube component form it will populate these fields:
