Required Bolt Area of standard flange
Required Bolt Area of standard flange
(OP)
Is there a way to calculate required bolt area of a standard flange say from ASME B16.5?
I use equations from ASME VIII-1 App 2 to calculate this but it fails. Experience prove that the bolt data from these standard is sufficient for the scope service. Please comment.

As far as the "required" bolt area goes, the B16.5 standard specifies bolt sizes to use, and, like codeeng says, you are allowed to design to the pressures/temperatures listed in B16.5,

Yes. i am using high strength bolt material A193 Gr B7.
TGS4:
What code is ASME PCC-1? Sorry for my ignorance on this material.

And ASME VIII-1 App 2, gives you rules to design custom flanges.
