Programming Suggestion: Code Case 2547
Programming Suggestion: Code Case 2547
(OP)
It would be quite helpful if the allowance for code case 2547 could be applied to specific flanges only. It is sometimes necessary to design a new flange on a vessel, while taking the code case allowance on an existing flange design elsewhere on the same vessel.
RE: Programming Suggestion: Code Case 2547
may be used for design of flange rigidity in lieu
of the rules in Appendix 2-14. Acceptable alternatives
include successful service experience with a specific
design, or any method that satisfies the requirements of
U-2(g).
This Case number shall be recorded on the Manufacturer’s
Data Report.
