Appendix "Y" flange with slotted holes
Appendix "Y" flange with slotted holes
(OP)
Dear All
Can anybody help me with the design of an ASME VIII appendix “Y” flange with slotted holes? From an appendix 2 approach you would use dimension “A” as the bottom of the slot and dimension “B” as the id I am not sure of the approach using appendix “Y”
Thanks
Bogu

RE: Appendix "Y" flange with slotted holes
However in my opinion the behavior of an App.Y flange with slotted holes is much closer to that of an App.2 flange: I think you should be safe if you calculate it per App.2 (assuming you have an OR joint).

I have programmed in Mathcad the Appendix "Y", class 1,
category 1 flange pairs.
If you would like a copy go to "esce.freeservers.com"
and download it.
I am not sure how to handle the slotted hole issue.
You may need to resort to FEA.
