Gasket Details :

Gasket Material = SS304L SPWD

Effective gasket width, b = 7.767 mm (From Flange
Diameter of Gasket load reaction, G = 1808.466 mm Design.)

Modulus of elasticity of gasket material, Eg = 1.75E+06 Kg/cm (Ref.: ASME Sec II
Gasket thickness, tg = 6.35 mm D, Table TM-1)

Bolting Details :

Stud Size = M48

Bolting material = SA 193 Gr.B16
Pitch diameter of threads, dm = 46.051 mm
(Ref.:IS 4218, Part.III)
Root diameter of threads, d = 44.319 mm
Number of bolts, n = 52
2
Root area of bolts, Ab = 1600 mm
2
Modulus of elasticity of bolting material, Eb = 1.80E+06 Kg/cm (Ref.: ASME Sec II
Effective length of bolt, lb (MID NUT TO MID NUT) = 563.7 D, Table TM-1)
Hydrostatic End Force, H = 965000 Kg
Total joint-contact surface load, Hp = 99466.5 Kg (From Flange Design.)
Minimum required bolt load, W m2 = 310246.562 Kg
Friction Factor, K = 0.25

Calculation :

Actual joint area contact for gasket, Ag

Ag = 2*3.14* bG
2
= 88211.11 mm

Decreasing Compression force in gasket, F*

F* = H / (1+ (Ab Eb tg / Ag Eg lb))

= 964797.14 Kg

Initial required tightening force, Fbo

Fbo = Hp + F*
= 1064263.64 Kg

Total tightening force required to seal joint, W

W = Max ( Fbo (or) W m2 )

= 1064263.64 Kg

Required Torque, T(Min)

T = K Wm2 *dm / n
= 68.69 Kg.m

Required Torque, T(Max)

T = K W*dm / n
= 235.63 Kg.m
