I found out that par. 2-14 of 2008 addenda gives a couple of criteria that allow NOT to consider flange rigidity index.
Design pressure < 150 PSI
AND
non lethal service
AND
Design temperature >-29°C
AND
Design temperatura <186°C
Would it be possible to include these exceptions into pvelite, so that a flange calculated under this hypotesis is not highlighted with the usual warning, saying that "rigidity has been turned off"?
Thanks and best regards
Federico
