    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
