BOLT TORQUE REQUIRED FOR SEALING OF FLANGES
Vessel tag = 20V-2960
DESIGN DATA :
Flange size =
Design pressure, P 20 = 2900.76 psi
= 3770.99 psi
Design temperature = 80External bending moment, M = 0 in. - lb
= 0 lb.Bolt lubrication ( Yes / No ) = YesFriction factor between bolt/nut and nut/flange face, K = 0.15
GASKET DATA :
Type = Ring TypeDiameter of raised face 1124 mm ) = 44.26 in.OD 1057.3 mm ) = 41.63 in.ID 987.4 mm ) = 38.88 in.
Min. designs seating stress, y 124.11 = 18000.666 psiGasket factor, m = 5.5Mod. of Elasticity, Eg ( Table AMG, ASME VIII Div. 2 ) = 569000 psiGasket thickness, tg 41.28 mm ) = 1.63 in.Gasket width, N 34.95 mm ) = 1.38 in.Basic gasket width, bo ( = N / 2 ) = 0.69 in.Effective gasket seating width, b = 0.42 in.Diam. of gasket load reaction, G = 40.79 in.
BOLTING DATA :

X-sectional area of bolts, Ab = = 240.9964
Length between outer face of flanges, x 801.2 mm = 31.54 in.Thickness of nut, tn ( = 0.8 x D ) = 3.250 in.Effective length of bolt, lb ( = x + tn ) = 34.793307 in.
