Calculation of Flange Design Bolt Load (ASME 8 DIV 1 APPENDIX 2-5(e))

1. Operating Case
- Gasket load reaction
G = 510.880682 mm

- Moment Arm
Hg = (Bcd - G) / 2
= 30.3096588

- Flange design bolt load

W = Wm1
Wm1 = 0.785G^2*P+(2*b*3.14*G*m*P)

W = 859721.354 N
PT PROFAB INDONESIA PAGE 93

- Head minimum thickness in operating condition

t oper = d*sqrt(C*P/SaE+1.9WHg/SaEd^3)
= 44.4534565 mm

2. Gasket Seating Case

- Minimum initial bolt load
Wm2 = 1597390.74 N

- Area required for bolting

Am = Max(Am1,Am2)
= 9266.68257 mm2 (Bolt Root Area Minimum)

Ab = 11483.8 mm2 (Bolt Root Area Actual)

- Flange design bolt load

W = (Am+Ab)S/2
= 1788484.09 N

- Head minimum thickness in gasket seating condition

t seat = d*sqrt(1.9WHg/SaEd^3)
= 39.7340408 mm

Minimum thickness required for flat head based on UG-34

Treq = Max(t operating,t gasket seating)
= 44.4534565
