Flange Information
Flange Information
(OP)
Hi all,
Anybody able to point me in the direction of information regarding the design of non-gasket flat face flanges/bolted joints that have metal-to-metal contact of the flange faces? I'd like to familiarize myself with the design and behavior of this type of joint apart from what a quick google search throws up. Any books, websites or published material on the subject would be good.
Thanks.

RE: Flange Information
Section 3.8.8 of PD5500
Nonmandatory Appendix Y of ASME VIII-1
This should be read in conjunction with:
1. The archives on this forum, in particular those in the Boiler and Pressure Vessel section;
2. Mandatory Appendix 2 and Nonmandatory Appendix S of ASME VIII-1;
3. ASME PCC-1;
4. The Taylor Forge engineering bulletins;
5. Technical papers on flanges, including ASME PVP;
6. Books like the one suggested above.
Hope this helps.
