Validation warnings
- Selected bolt diameter (0.500 in) is outside material size limits (4 < t ≤ 8)
- Tube-to-tubesheet joint check according to UW-20 / 4.18.10 can't be performed on expanded only joints. Joint check should be
performed according to Appendix A / Annex 4-C Code reference: UW-20.1
- Bolt spacing is smaller than TEMA recommended minimum for the currently selected bolt ANSI_TEMA 1/2". Reduce the number of
bolts to 76 Code reference: TEMA TABLE D-5 [Required value: 31.75 mm][Actual value: 1.234 in]
