Currently, AutoPIPE Vessel uses a default air density of 1.225 kg/m³ for wind load calculations. However, air density can vary based on the geographic location of the equipment. Therefore, I request that this value be made an input parameter inste...
Flange calculation using a full face gasket based on the Taylor Forge method (Bulletin 502) and in compliance with the ASME code, substituting the Y coefficient with Y' as specified in the AS standard.
We have a pressure vessel that must be designed in accordance with ASME Section VIII, Division 1. However, for full face gasket flanges, the software by default performs the calculations according to PD 5500 (Slip-on loose flange – BS/PD 5500 §3.8...
MDMT Calculation for the floating head components (cap, flange, split ring, floating tubular plate, etc.) does not appear only external body MDMT calculated. Please add MDMT Calculation for the floating head components
When calculating earthquakes for pressure equipment, need to add design according to paragraph 3.2.2.5 of EN 1998-1.
This would allow the design to consider a reduced design spectrum relative to the elastic range.
When it is added local loads for nozzles, these loads should be taken in consideration for the support calculation and fundation loads considering the location and orientation of nozzle, for example, Nozzle A located on top head has local loads su...

Please add EN 14015 code for design of storage tank. EN 14015 is the European standard for the design and manufacture of vertical, cylindrical, above-ground, welded steel tanks with flat bottoms.
Use of EN 1991 code with British National Annex (BS EN 1991) in Wind Code Selection
When selecting the wind code in Autopipe Vessel v45.00.02.004, it is not possible to select the EN 1991 code with British National Annex (BS EN 1991), but there is only an option to select the EN 1991 code.
The British national annex provides ...
