Flange Guide
1. General
This Flange Guide describes the requirements, needs and methods for the installation of Fiberstrong and Wavistrong fibrereinforced plastic (FRP) flanges.
To ensure proper installation of FRP flanges, information, guidelines and instructions on drilling dimensions, sealing
material, bellows, spacer rings, flange supports, fasteners and flange assembly are given.
A flanged joint can consist of any combination containing a fixed flange, a stub-end flange or a blind flange. In this
document, fixed flange, stub-end flange and blind flange will be referred to as flange.
The Fiberstrong and Wavistrong flange design for fixed flanges is in line with (i) the design rules for flanged joints as
described in ASME 2010 section X and (ii) the flange rigidity criterion as described in ASME 2010 section VIII, division 2.
Definition of words used in these instructions:

The word shall indicates a requirement

The word should indicates a recommendation
2. Product range and flange types

2.1. Product range
This Flange Guide describes the Fiberstrong as well as the Wavistrong flanges.
The standard Fiberstrong flange product range runs from ID 25 to ID 4000 mm and is available in pressure classes PN 4 to
PN 16 bar.
The standard Wavistrong flange product range runs from ID 25 to ID 1800 mm and is available in pressure classes PN 8
to PN 50 bar. For the Wavistrong product range reference is made to the Wavistrong Product List.
FIBERSTRONG
WAVISTRONG
Flange Guide
2.2. Flange types

The FPI product range contains various types of flanges, namely fixed flanges,
stub-end flanges and blind flanges.
A fixed flange is a flange with an integral hub (see fig. 1). Fiberstrong fixed
flanges are produced using either the filament winding (FW) process or the
contact moulding process (CM). Wavistrong fixed flanges are available as FW
only.
Fig. 1. Fixed flange
A stub-end flange is an assembly of a FRP stub-end and a loose flange ring.
Stub-end flanges are available in two varieties:

1. S
tub-end flanges having a cylindrical shaped internal configuration
(see fig. 2), these products are referred to as stub-end flange CB/FL
and are available for the Wavistrong product range only. The flange
ring of those products is available in steel only.
Fig. 2. Stub-end flange CB/FL

2. Stub-end

flanges having a 45 degree conical shaped configuration
(see fig 3), these products are referred to as stub-end flange FL/PL.
The flange ring is available in both FRP and steel.
Fig. 3. Stub-end flange FL/PL
3. Drilling standards
The product dimensions of Fiberstrong and Wavistrong FRP flanges are defined by, diameter, drilling pattern and pressure
class. The pressure rating is defined by the pressure class of the flange.
This practice deviates from the method as used for steel flange, where flanges are rated by the applicable drilling class.
Fiberstrong and Wavistrong flanges up to and including ID 600 mm are, depending on the pressure class of the product,
available as standard item according drilling standards ASA 150, ASA 300 and PN 10 to PN 63.
ASME, AWWA and MSS drilling patterns are described by the ASA drilling pattern.
Other drilling standards (API/JIS/etc.) are non standard but are available upon request.
Fiberstrong and Wavistrong flanges ID 700 mm and above are available as standard item for drilling standards ASA 150
and ASA 300.
Other drilling standards (API/JIS/PN/etc.) are non standard, but are available upon request.
The drilling patterns of the most common drilling standards are given in Annex H.

Flange Guide
4. Gasket and O-ring seal

Flanges ID 25 ID 1400 mm should be assembled using FPI recommended
type rubber gaskets with steel inlay (see fig. 4):

Kroll & Ziller type G-ST-P/K

Kroll & Ziller type G-ST-P/KN

Kroll & Ziller type G-ST-P/S

Kempchen type WG2
Fig. 4. Gasket types
Flanges ID 1500 4000 mm, have a grooved face and shall be assembled using a rubber O-ring seal.
The O-ring dimensions are given in Annex C.
The sealing material depends on the transported medium and temperature and shall be specified by the gasket or O-ring
supplier. The hardness of the gasket sealing material shall be of class 70 or 80 5 Shore A.
The hardness of the O-ring material shall be of class 70 5 Shore A.
The use of graphite, spiral wound and metal gaskets is not advised, as these types of gaskets require a high bolt torque
which might lead to overloading of the FRP flange.
5. Bellows
Rubber bellows are primarily used to reduce loads
and to facilitate removal of pipe sections, valves
or gaskets. Bellows are also used to absorb noise
and vibration between equipment such as pumps,
condensers and their mating pipe work.
Their high flexibility also makes them suitable for
compensating thermal expansions and small
installation misalignments.
Fig. 5. Lateral bellow
Axial and universal bellows are designed to absorb any combination of three basic movements, i.e. axial movement,
lateral deflection and angular rotation. These bellows are non-restrained, therefore to absorb axial forces it shall be
ensured that the mating pipe systems at both sides of the bellow are fixed.
Lateral bellows (see fig. 5) are designed to absorb lateral deflection. Tie rods shall be used on lateral bellows to transfer the
pressure thrust load. Sufficient tie rods shall be used, to prevent local overloading of the FRP flange. Tie rods shall never be
jointed directly to the FRP flange or to the FRP piping systems, as this will create excessive axial loads on the FRP flange. The
backing flange, which is part of the axial bellow shall be a solid construction, the usage of fish-plates is not allowed.
Hinged bellows or gimbal bellows are designed to absorb angular rotation. Hinged and gimbal bellows are due to their
construction capable in transferring the axial load, therefore tie rods are not required.
Bolt torque values as specified by bellow suppliers might deviate from the torque values as specified in this document. To
prevent overloading of the FRP flange, the torque values specified in chapter 8 shall not be exceeded unless agreed by the
FPI Technical Support team.
The maximum deflection specified by the bellow supllier may not be exceeded.
UV covers should be installed, to protect the rubber of the outdoors installed bellows.
In order to ensure a proper usage of bellows, their selection shall be reviewed by the FPI Technical Support team.
FIBERSTRONG
WAVISTRONG
Flange Guide
6. Spacer rings
Fiberstrong and Wavistrong flanges are designed such that these flanges can be jointed against raised face flanges, on the
condition that the in chapter 8 prescribed bolt torques are applied. For flanges ID 25 ID 1400 mm in fact a raised face
configuration is created by the usage of a rubber gasket with a steel inlay (see chapter 4).
Spacer rings may be used, if FRP flanges are jointed to metallic raised face flanges, in order to create a flat face
configuration. Please note that the mating flange might have an uneven surface at the bolt circle. Therefore the thickness of
each spacer ring has to be adjusted to its specific required dimension.
Incorrect spacer ring thickness can result in local overloading of the flange or insufficient gasket seal.
7. Fasteners
This section gives information about the type, the quality, the thread standard and dimensions of fasteners to be used for
the assembly of a flanged joint.
7.1. Bolts, stud bolts, washers

Flanges are jointed using either bolts or stud bolts. Stud bolts are typically used in case of assembly in limited spaces, or if
long bolt lengths are required.
The bolt sizes accompanying washer shall be used (see Annex B for washer dimensions).
7.2. Fastener quality

Bolts, nuts and washers should be either made of hot dip galvanized steel or
made of stainless steel. For non corrosive environments zinc plated steel
products may be used.
The minimum quality of hot dip galvanized and zinc plated steel bolts, nuts and
washers should be of class 8.8 or grade 5. The minimum quality of stainless
steel fasteners should be of class 70. Figures 6 and 7 show the identification
for class 8.8 and for grade 5 bolts.
In case hot dip galvanized or zinc plated steel products are cut to length,
the cut area should be coated to protect it against corrosion.
Fig. 6. Class 8.8 identification

on bolt head
7.3. Thread standard

The thread standard of the fasteners shall comply with either ISO metric or
Unified Thread Standard (UTS). In case of assembly against a component
containing a threaded hole, the bolt size shall match the holes thread.
Metric and UTS bolts and nuts, shall have a coarse pitch; for UTS this is
specified as UNC or NC, for metric this is specified as coarse.

Flange Guide
7.4. Bolt length

The bolt length definition for two fixed flanges is specified in paragraph 7.4.1 and for two stub-end flanges in paragraph
7.4.2. The same method can be followed for the bolt length definition of any flange combination, such as fixed flange to
stub-end flange or combinations containing blinds. The bolt length definition is a recommendation and does not necessarily
have to be followed. The calculated (stud) bolt length needs to be rounded up to the next available bolt length. It is required
that full thread engagement is obtained after the assembly.
In Annex A, a flowchart for bolt selection is given.
In Annex D to Annex G, the flange thicknesses of fixed flanges and assembly lengths of stub-end flanges are given for
standard products. Special products may have different dimensions; for dimensions of special products FPI shall be
contacted.
7.4.1. Bolt length - Fixed flanges

The (stud) bolt length for fixed flanges can be defined using the following
calculation method.
Bolt length:
Lbolt
= 2 (TF + TFtol + w + p) + g + n

8. Bolt torques
The bolts of flange joints shall be tightened using the prescribed bolt torques, which are given in tables 1 and 2.
These torque values are applicable for ASA 150, ASA 300 and PN 10 to PN 63 drilling patterns in combination with the
recommended sealing material as specified in chapter 4.
Bolt torques for other drilling patterns (API/JIS/ASA 600/etc) or for gaskets, other than recommended by FPI, including
special gaskets on valves, pumps, etc, might differ from the values given in tables 1 and 2. Recommended bolt torque
values for these applications shall be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the FPI Technical Support team.

9. Supports
Aboveground pipeline systems are installed using supports.
When jointing FRP flanges to heavy equipment such as butterfly valves, it shall be ensured that the load due to the
weight of the equipment is not transferred to the FRP flange. This load shall be limited by proper supporting of the heavy
equipment. The support for heavy equipment should not be connected to the FRP flange.
The Wavistrong Engineering Guide provides information on types of supports and on the support to support spans.
10. Misalignment
Flanges shall be properly aligned and shall not be subjected to any overload
to meet each other.
Flanges are jointed using rubber type sealing elements, small misalignments can
be consumed by the flexibility of the sealing element.
To prevent overloading of a FRP flange, the bolt torques specified in chapter 8
shall not be exceeded.
An example of exceeded flange parallelism is shown in figure 12.
The allowable for flange parallelism is illustrated in figure 13 where the values
for x are defined in table 3.

11. Assembly instruction

This section describes the assembly of a flange joint. To ensure that the performance of the assembled joint complies with
the requirements used for the design, it is essential that all personnel involved in the jointing procedure is familiar with and
fully understands the techniques described in this assembly instruction.
The instruction is as complete as possible. However, it is not possible to describe all circumstances that might be
encountered in the field. Therefore, our experienced supervisors may deviate from the described method, in order to
achieve an optimum solution using the latest techniques and methods.
Besides, our supervisors may be consulted for clarification of statements made in this document and for advice about
specific problems encountered in the field.
11.1. Quality
It is advised that the jointer possesses a valid jointer certificate, issued by the pipe manufacturer or a qualified certifier.
11.2. Health and safety

When working with FRP products, the following safety precautions
shall be taken:

Wear at all time suitable protective clothing

Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), such as:
- Safety shoes
- Safety glasses
- Working gloves
- Safety helmet (if required by site conditions)

11.5. Assembly
The following steps shall be followed to ensure proper assembly of a flange joint.
a Determine the assembly sequence, such that flange assembly in limited
spaces will not be blocked by previous assembled components (see fig.
16).
b Flanges shall be properly aligned and shall not be subjected to any
overload to meet each other. When using the recommended sealing
type, then small misalignments can be consumed by the flexibility of the
sealing, the maximum allowed misalignment is defined in chapter 10.
Fig. 16. Assembly sequence
c For stub-end flanges: the loose ring of the stub-end flange shall be
positioned centred on the stub-end, such that there is an even distance
between the outer diameter of the stub-end and the inner diameter of the
loose ring (see fig. 17).
Fig. 17. Ring centred on stub-end

d Bolt holes should be orientated to straddle the centerlines (see fig. 18).
e Clean the flange sealing face and if applicable the O-ring groove.
Ensure that the O-ring or gasket and all bolts, nuts and washers are
clean. Do not use defective material.
Fig. 18. Bolt hole orientation

f For assembly using an O-ring: position the O-ring in the groove.
When jointing two flanges with an O-ring seal, only one flange shall
have an O-ring groove.
For assembly using a gasket: position the gasket between the two
flanges, ensure that the gasket is centred relative to the internal diameter
of the flange. The gasket can be centred by inserting a number of bolts,
such that the gasket is supported by the bolts. (see fig. 19).

g Lubricate the thread of the bolts (see fig. 20).

Use suitable lubricant for bolts, for example a copper paste like
Molykote P 1600.
h Insert all bolts in the bolt holes and assemble them using washers
and nuts. Bolts and nuts shall have washers to avoid exceeding the
allowable surface stress on the FRP flange.
Fig. 20. Applying lubricant
i Ensure that the quality identification on bolts and nuts is visible
(see fig. 21).
Fig. 21. Identification visible

j First, the bolts and nuts shall be tightened hand tight.
k Next, the bolts and nuts shall be tightened using a torque wrench and
a spanner (see fig. 22). Tightening shall be as per the bolt torquing
sequence as described in ASTM D4024 (see fig. 23). Bolts shall be
tightened, following the bolt torque sequence, first up to 60% of the
prescribed torque value and next up to 100% of the prescribed value as
given in tables 1 and 2.
For flanges having more than 20 bolts, similar alternating bolt
tightening sequences shall be used, where required the FPI technical
support team may be contacted.
Fig. 22. Bolt tightening using torque

Annex H. Drilling standards

The following tables provide the dimensions for API 75, API 150, ASA 150, ASA 300, ASA 600, JIS 5K, JIS 10K and PN
6 to PN 63 drilling patterns. For diameters ID 3700 mm and above a FPI specific drilling pattern applies, as no standard is
available. The dimensions of the flange outer diameter (DU) and bolt hole (d), can slightly deviate from the values given in
the related drilling standard. Bolt sizes as specified in API, ASME and AWWA have been converted to metric dimensions.
The diameter ranges of the drilling patterns as listed in this annex do not necessarily correspond with the diameter range of
FPI flanges.
