 FLANGE THICKNESS CALCULATION

19.2 Load and Bolt Calculation

Hp = total Joint-Contact surface compression Load
Hp = 2 *b *3.14* G*m*P (Appendix 2,2-3)
Hp = 4164.983 kg

H = Total Hydrostatic end force

H = 0.785*G² *P (Appendix 2,2-3)
H = 24194.560 kg

Wm1 = Min. required Bolt Load for Operation

Wm1 = H + Hp (Appendix 2,2-5(c)(1))
Wm1 = 28359.542 kg
Wm1 = 278207.112 N

Wm2 = Min. required Bolt Load for Seating.

Wm2 = 3.14 *b *G *y (Appendix 2,2-5(c)(2))
Wm2 = 25120.051 kg

19.3 Flange Design Bolt Load (W)

W = 0.5 (Ab + Am) Sa (Appendix 2,2-5(e))
Am = Required bolt area
= Greater of (Wm1/Sb) and (Wm2/Sa) (Appendix 2,2-5(d))
Wm1/Sa = 1612.366 sq.mm
Wm2/Sb = 1428.186 sq.mm
Am = 1612.366 sq.mm
Ab = RA * n
Ab = 24906.980 sq.mm
W = 232983.673 kg
W = 2285569.829 N

Hence Bolting Area Is Sufficient

19.4 Flange Moment Calculation

Md = Moment due to Hydrosatic End force = Hd x hd (Appendix 2,2-3 )

Hd = Hydrostatic end force = 0.785 B² * P (Appendix 2,2-3)
= 40970.438 kg
hd = Lever Arm = R+0.5 g1 (Appendix 2,Table 2-6) R= (C-B)/2 - g1
= 84.45 mm = 79.95
Md = 3459953.517 kg-mm
 FLANGE THICKNESS CALCULATION

Mg = Moment due to Gasket load = Hg x hg (Appendix 2,2-3)

Hg = Gasket Load = W-H (Appendix 2,2-3 )
= 208789.113 kg
hg = Lever Arm = 0.5 (C-G) (Appendix 2,2-3)
= 181.6 mm
Mg = 37908665.469 kg-mm

Mt = Moment due to difference between total Hydrostatic end force on the area
inside the flange = Ht x ht (Appendix 2,2-3)
Ht = (H - Hd) (Appendix 2,2-3 )
= -16775.878 kg
ht = Lever Arm = 0.5*(R+g1+hg) (Appendix 2,Table 2-6 )
= 135.26 mm
Mt = -2269058.168 kg-mm
For operating condition
Mo = Total Flange Moments = Md + Mg + Mt (Appendix 2,2-6)
Mo = 39099560.817 kg-mm
Mo = 383566691.619 N-mm
For gasket seating condition
Mo' = Moment due to Gasket seating = Hg x hg (Appendix 2,2-6)
Hg = W= 232983.673
hg = 181.6
Mo' = 42301535.686 kg-mm
Mo' = 414978065.079 N-mm
Mo' = 414978065.079 N-mm
19.5 Flange thickness required (t) (Appendix 2,2-7(b) )

K= A/B T= Factor involving K

= 1.326 T= 1.786
LOG10 K = 0.122
Y= Factor involving K U= Factor involving Z= Factor involving K
Y= 7.041 U= 7.738 Z= 3.642
d= (U*ho*go2)/V= ### and L=(t*e+1) / T + (t3/d)= 1.26

f x Max (Mo,Mo')
a) Longitudinal Hub Stress (SH) = = 7107.21 Mpa < ( 1.5*Sfo)
( L x g12 x B)

(1.33te+1) x Max (Mo,Mo')

b) Radial Flange Stress(SR) = = 446.951 Mpa < ( Sfo)
( L x t2 x B)

Yx Max(Mo,Mo')
c) Tangential flange Stress(ST) = Z x SR = 888.591 Mpa < ( Sfo)
( t2 x B)

d) Also (SH + SR )/2 and ( SH + ST )/2 are not greater than Sfo.Hence design is safe for this thickness.

N1 DN 600 SOFF 150# ASME B16.5-2020/ For a design temperature of 57°C as per

SA-105 Table-2-2.3, Group 2.3 of ASME

B16.5 (2003) the 150# flange can be used
upto 13.34 barg (interpolated value) pressure.

From Appendix - GG
1 psi = 0.0068948 Mpa -------(i)
and 1 psi =0.06894757 bar -------(ii)
from equation (i) & (ii)
1 Mpa = 10 bar
Hence, 13.34 barg = 1.334 Mpag

NOTES:
1) ASME B16.5 Flanges are acceptable for use as per UG-44 and no separate calculations are
required for using the same.
2) Flanges are not required to be hydro tested as per 8.1 of ASME B16.5 –2003 edition.
