Flanges

Flanges

Flanges

(OP)
We don't have any FEA software in the offise so I'm looking for software that will help design a custom flange based on an ANSI B16.5 18" (we need to reduce the flange thickness and I have to check what pressure it will be good for).
Any advice will be gratefully received !

RE: Flanges

Hi,
You can free download evaluation edition of a program for design and rating of pressure vessels and pressure vessel’s component. You can use it for one month.
You will find flange design option letting you rate any custom flange you want.
