ASME VIII Div1 App2 2007
So... it has been a while, but I still need your help. Ive been trying to unwrong my mistakes, but I cant really find them. And still I get "wrong" values for Fl/ Vl etc. Ive attached a sheet with all the variables. Could you guys look it over for me, and tell me where I got it wrong? Thanks...- Unleash

I was wondering why using the App 2 calculations was so explicitly discouraged. @Jmoore: I have looked into that software, and indeed it isnt cost effective for the amount of usage and the calculations that would be run with it. So I hoped to make a small tool...- Unleash
