Calculation software

TEMES fl.cal

The software TEMESfl.cal is based on analytical methods for flange calculation. It includes approaches according e.g.

  • ASME BPVC Sect. VIII
  • ASME PCC-1 Appendix O
  • EN 1591-1 (using gasket characteristics according to EN 13555)
  • KTA 3211.2 (German Nuclear Safety Standard)

The behaviour of the bolted flange connection is analyzed in defined loading states. For these states, temperatures, internal pressures and external forces and moments can be specified. Specifications regarding the required sealing classes, specific assembly values or assembly processes can also be defined.

A variety of geometrical and material databases are available to the user.

One focus is set on the European approach: Standardised data regarding materials and geometry from different European and German standards are available, and as a special feature, there is a gasket database, which contains the characteristics of numerous sealing materials from different manufacturers and which, using a special algorithm, continuously adjusts them to the requirements during the calculation.
