The present work explores the theoretical effects of rotation in calculating the period ratios of double-mode radial pulsating stars with special emphasis on high-amplitude delta Scuti stars (HADS). Diagrams showing these period ratios vs. periods of the fundamental radial mode have been employed as a good tracer of non-solar metallicities and are known as Petersen diagrams (PD).In this paper we consider the effect of moderate rotation on both evolutionary models and oscillation frequencies and we show that such effects cannot be completely neglected as it has been done until now. In particular it is found that even for low-to-moderate rotational velocities (15-50 km/s), differences in period ratios of some hundredths can be found. The main consequence is therefore the confusion scenario generated when trying to fit the metallicity of a given star using this diagram without a previous knowledge of its rotational velocity.
