Question:	For the design of Appendix 2 flanges, Table 2-5.2 provides two columns with formulas to be used for determining the basic gasket width 'bo'. How is the column selected in COMPRESS?
Answer:	Table 2-5.1 assigns the formula to be used for the basic gasket width for a particular type of gasket based on the gasket's "m" and "y" factor. COMPRESS automatically determines which column from Table 2-5.2 is applicable based on the values entered for gasket factors "m" and "y". It is not possible for the user to change the formula used for the basic gasket width.
