liabilities arising due to use / misuse of this calculation.
Notes:
1. Cells with Green background are input cells
2. Cells with Yellow background are lookup cells
3. All other cells are calculated values
4. Pipe size and thickness information is only updated till DN600 size. Other values coming soon
5. Values of CLASS600 and CLASS900 are updated only. Other values coming soon
6. Copy Column E and paste it along side to have more flanges evaluated.
7. This calculation is checked against Caesar II Version 6.10 Flange Leakage Calculation module and the results
are inline with it, as of 28-May-2013
8. This workbook is not protected, users can change values as they seem fair
