Problem:
When multiplying the Flange volume by the Flange density it does not equal the reported Flange Weight, why?
Solution:
Although the dialog reports a default Flange Density of 0.283 lbf/ft3, AutoPIPE internally uses a density of 283.0 lbf/ft3. This is the equivalent of 0.164 lbf/in3 or 4500 kg/m3. This value is hard coded into the program
If the user were to set the Flange Analysis material to 'NS' (Non-Standard) and set the density column to 283, they would see the correct weight displayed. This will be fixed in a future version of the program,
