gasket design
(OP)
is it still pretty popular/common to calculate bolt torque for a gasketed flange to use 'M' and 'Y' values?

As a note, in designing flanges, you don't actually calculate a bolt torque, you calculate a bolt load. Based on that load, you check your flange design to determine if it is acceptable. For Division 1 flanges, make sure to note Appendix S.

You're correct I get the bolt load from that and using that bolt load i can calculate the bolt torque to figure out how much I need to tighten down the bolts.
