10" SS Flange leak investigation

Data
Temp.-Press. Rating at 530C =2958 psi
Allowable Stress of bolt@ 530C = 11000 psi
Design pressure = 1995 psi,Operating 1799 psi
Linear thermal exp. Of bolt @ 530C = 0.0075in/in
Linear thermal exp. Of flange @ 530C = 0.64in/in
Grip length = 19.68 in.
Ef = 25.4x1000000 psi
Assumption
Min.bolt stress @ Design temp. = (1995/2958)*11000 =
Min.bolt stress @ Operat. temp. =(1799/2958)*11000 =

7418.864 psi
6689.993 psi

Investigation
Stress reduce due to different thermal expansion between bolt and flange
= 25.4x1000000x(0.0075-0.0064) =
27940 psi
Minimum preload of bolt require for design temp. = 7418.87+27940 =
Minimum preload of bolt require for operat. temp. = 6689.99+27940 =
If Torque to 55000 psi at design temp. will remain =
If Torque to 55000 psi at operat. temp. will remain =
