B16.5 verification tool

[Metma]

is it legal to develop and sell an excel sheet that permit to verify flanges pressure ratings through ASME B16.5?

Thanks

I think that, if not yet existed as doubted, anyone may develop an excel using the pressure rating data on B16.5.

Nope, not legal ... We have rules in this country to deal with the hardened and arrogant cyber scofflaw !!!

It is an egregious and fellonious insult to the Statutes of the US Government and the Cannons of the ASME establishment

Highly Trained Government agents are always at the ready to hunt-down and arrest Excel Spreadsheet Criminals

What exactly would that tool verify?

It really isn't that difficult to look at B16 5.

I can't recall verifying anything.

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

What ever your excel file calculates would be an unofficial rating. The rating that is published in the Tables of B16.5 are the official values...period. There are equations in the Appendices of B16.5 that explain how the values in the Table were derived, but it is the Table values that are to be used.

I have a free excel sheet I send to clients if they want it. It interpolates the ratings based on temperature, it saves me a lot time answering questions about what pressure/temp flanges are good for.
