RE: Re: Actual bolt area and Gasket Contact width

Hi Satya

Assume Number of bolts and size of that, then :

Ab = n x A(root)

Ab should be less than Am , So if "n x Aroot" was not enough. increase the number of bolts or change the bolts size.

* it is recommended " All Flange Bolt Holes Straddle the Centerlines" so the number of holes can be 8 , 12 , 16 , 20 ,...
* Get the Aroot from selected bolts table
