also i forgot to ask what is the extra length of 3mm for? is this the extra length of free threads?
Yes it is.
I will create the BLTA and members
Good choice!
But please consider doing it inside a "Company Catalogue Project" and not inside ACP, because, as you said, once you will get an updated ACP project from Aveva you will loose your job.
My point of view is that you can use Aveva supplied catalogues.
Just double check that they are good for you.
But I work for Aveva and I am not a final user.
So i hope someone else on this forum will give his feedback....
actually on the subject of creating my own company's BLTAs etc what's your standing on using the ACP catalogue of flanges, valves etc? also structural members
