Relief valve error

    This is the first time i've seen this error before, despite modelling many relief valves over the years and am hoping that missing the reason for the error is a lack of sleep (too hot in Manchester)

    I've got a relief valve with 25mm PN40 and a 32mm PN16 end connections - New bolting

    The SCOM BLRF attribute references two BTSETs /CAT-STUD-PN40-20M and /CAT-STUD-PN16-32M as appropriate.

    The two connecting flanges also reference the two BTSETs as appropriate (that's one BTSET per flange, i'm not that tired:)  )

    yet i'm getting an error of 'Mismatch in BDIA attributes between members of BTSET /CAT-STUD-PN40-20M and BTSET /CAT-STUD-PN16-32M'

    any ideas guys?

    as inlet is 25mm PN40 then BTSET would be /CAT-STUD-PN40-25M
    instead of /CAT-STUD-PN40-20M

    As I can just over viewing

    Also check blrf sequence, it should be pointing P1 first & then P2.
    Inlet flange should be with same matching Bdia as for P1 blrf.

    sorry

    I should have written 20mm

    Actually I think I have it figured out

    how does this sound

    I have a relief valve with two ppoints named 1 & 2

    each has a different size/rating and hence the blrfarray has two entries a & b and they relate to the connections as 1a & 2b

    when the isodraft goes through the bolt calculation it looks at the flange connected to '1' with a blrfarray of 'a' from pos [1] of blrfarray, as this flange also has a blrfarray of 'a' the bolts are successfully calculated.

    the next connection is '2' connected to a flange with a blrfarray of 'b'.

    Isodraft looks at the valves blrfarray and in pos [1] it has blrfarray a and throws an error relating to a mismatch in either dia or quantities.

    Isodraft then looks at pos[2] of the blrfarray and as this matches the connecting flange it calculates the bolt length.

    So you are always going to get at least one bolt error on a multi-size/rating relief valve unless the bolt quantities and size match both ends.

    and the fact that i'm getting a mismatch isn't necessarily a bad thing. I hope

    would you be using the 'boltreport' command in isodraft mode or isodraft?

    No!
    Sorry but just one question Have you set two BLRf /a /b
    for p1 & p2

    What you are getting by boltreport command?
    I am not able to run this command it is showing 'syntax error'

    yep

    the blrfarray has two boltsets sefined

    boltreport needs some additional syntax to work as shown below. If it fails midway through you also need to EXIT

     ISODRAFTMODE
       BOLTING UNITS METRIC
       MESS /c:\temp\BOLT\mess over
       BOLTFILE /c:\temp\BOLT\BOLTFILE.TXT
       BOLTREPORT !!CE
     EXIT

    I meant defined and ISODRAFTMODE is accessed from within Design
