Check this box if you want to perform Soehren's Calculation. Soehren's calculation is a more detailed analysis of the interaction between the spherical cap and the flange. Frequently the stresses calculated using this method will be acceptable for heads or flanges that are slightly less thick than required by the normal code rules.

  • This analysis can only be done for type d heads.

  • The Code (Par. 1-6(h)) allows this type of analysis.

  • See Soehrens Calculations Dialog Box.
