TEMA flange bolt spacing design
TEMA flange bolt spacing design
(OP)
TEMA has a equation for calculating the maximum recommended spacing between bolts based in part on the flange thickness. It is a little ambigious to me if it is refereing to the flange material thickness or the width of the flange that the bolt is normal to?
Any thoughts?

I.E. one does not include the value of any raised faces or hubs.
As an editorial, I can't remember the last time I designed a flange where the actual B on my flange came close the value of Bmax. It usually results in excessively thick flanges.
