Example E4.16.1 - E4.16.2 PTB-4-2013

Design rules for bolted flange connections with ring type gaskets are provided in Vlll-1 Mandatory
Appendix 2. The rules in this paragraph are the same as those provided in Vlll-2, paragraph 4.16.
However, there are differences to be noted, including; a step-by-step design procedure, nomenclature
with regard to operating and gasket seating bolt loads, the inclusion of a flange moment due to
externally applied axial forces and bending moment, and minor differences in bolt pacing criteria.
Therefore, while the example problem will be presented for use with Vlll-1, Appendix 2, references
to Vlll-2 paragraphs will be provided, as applicable.

Evaluate the girth flange in accordance with Vlll-1, Appendix 2.

Establish the design conditions and gasket reaction diameter, (VIII-2, paragraph 4.16.6).
