Flange Literature
Flange Literature
(OP)
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for useful literature/text books for the design of flanges? I work in the pressure vessel field (both ASME III/VIII) and am looking to obtain more useful information. I already have Taylor Forge Bulletin 502 btw.
Thanks for any help any of you can give.

Sorry.

"A PVRC Monograph of the 1949 Classic" "Development of General Formulas for Bolted Flanges" by Waters, Rossheim, Westrom & Williams. It has the derivation of all those flange factors.
Taylor Forge Bulletin #45 "Design of Flanges for Full Face Gaskets." Has the "Modified Rossheim Method" for full-face gaskets
A.E. Blach, "Bolted Flange Connections for Non-Circular Pressure Vessels" ASME PVP-158, 1989. pp. 97-104.
Cook & Guerreri, "Deflection in Gasketed Joints, Machine Design{I think}, March 14, 1968, pp.149-50.
R. Swick, "How much pressure will that Gasket Take?" Machine Design Nov. 24,1977
WRC #314 "Bolted Flange Connections with Full Face Gaskets," by Blach, Bazergui & Baldur, May 1986.
Also check out the Dutch Stoomwesen, BS5500, etc. flange analysis methods - a little bit different than ASME App. 2

Much appreciated.

Me to Coworker: Where'd you get that?
Coworker: Well, I had it.
Me: Think I can get one?
Coworker: No.
All the good books are out of print.
TD2K, thanks, will take you up on that.
