Steelcalc Version 7.2

Steelcalc Version 7.2 - access Design Codes Failure Temperatures!

What's new in Steelcalc Version 7.2

Responding to changes in the specifications of different Failure Temperatures recently in the UK, the all new Steelcalc 7.2 is released!

This is being made available to you, to provide a truly comprehensive package. Our software, has been designed to handle the simplified approach of the latest released Yellow Book 6.

There is now only one table of Critical Temperatures in the Yellow Book 6. The choices are based upon steel type and orientation.

The DFT’s are calculated on the industry standard ‘straight line’ interpolation, between DFT’s at 50ºC intervals, as issued in Product Assessments or Certificates. This approach is only used if the required FT is not shown on product assessments.

You will be able to:

  1. Access over 30 different intumescent products that meet the new criteria, as notified by Manufacturers
  2. Convert any existing Steelcalc Project into the latest critical temperatures.
  3. At Project creation select the available Table. Steelcalc 7 will automatically use the required Critical Temperature from the latest Yellow Book 6- Table 7

You should:

  1. Please make sure that your computer system is up to date with all the latest Windows© updates.
  2. Steelcalc version 7 requires the Windows© .NET Version 4.8 to function correctly
  3. Obtain new DFT's for Cellular Beams from Manufacturers if changing to or between codes

Creating a new Steelcalc Project

At the time of a new Project creation you will see a list of the available Tables (There may be more than one available, this depends on your Steelcalc Version). Please select the one required. You are able to reformat your complete Project to another Table and Building Type after the creation if a change has been made.
