Blind flange calculations

Blind flange calculations

Blind flange calculations

(OP)
On a vessel we are designing we will be using a blind flange on one end. Being a novice at ASME VIII division 1, I am left uncertain as to what paragrahps I should look to when calculating whether the blind flange we have designed will be sufficient for the intended duty.

Any advice on where to look?

RE: Blind flange calculations

Pressure Vessel Handbook (Megyesy) and Pressure Vessel Desgin Manual (Moss) will give a guide  for  solving this design using ASME VIII DIV: 1 rules (UG34-UG35)

RE: Blind flange calculations

UG-34 gives you all you need to design the bolted cover.

RE: Blind flange calculations

MotorMan12, is it perhaps a standard blind such as B16.5? If so see UG-44.

Mike
