2 Use "Input Details" section to insert all the data.

3 Always use the "drop down list" to select the members and pipe sizes.

4 Preferably select one member size higher rather than selecting a meber near to "unsafe" zone.

5 Never modify any cell manually other than inputs as it may give wrong result.
