BOLTED COVER THICKNESS CALCULATION

BLIND FLANGE THICKNESS CALCULATION

For 3 inch
DESIGN DATA:
Diameter or short span as per figure UG-34 (Fig-j) = 8.83 cm

Attachment factor as per fig UG - 34 (j) (C) = 0.3

Internal design pressure (P) = 1.53 kg/cm2

Maximum allowable stess value in tension (S) = 1407.21 kg/cm2

Joint Efficiency (E) = 1

Total bolt load from pipe data pro (W) = 3.08 Kg

Flange raised face diameter = 12.7 cm

Gasket moment arm (hG) = 0.5 * (Cb-G) = 2.92 cm

BCD (Cb) = 16.8 cm

Gasket Outside Diameter (OD) = 12.7 cm

Gasket Inside Diameter (ID) = 7.83 cm

Width (N) = 2.435 cm

Basic Gasket Seating Width (bo) = 1.2175 cm

Effective Gasket Seating Width (b) = 0.87 cm

Diameter at Location of Gasket Load reaction (G) = 10.96 cm

Design thickness of flange at 93 dec C

 As per ASME section 8 Div- 1 Clause UG-34 ( C ) (2)

Thickness of blind flange or cover (t) = d*((C*P/S*E)+(1.9*W*hG / S*E*d3))0.

Thickness required (tr) = 0.16371 cm

Thickness required (tr) 1.63708 mm

Hence therefore from the above calculation the minimum thickness required for 3" blind flange is =

The 3" bolted cover thickness is (Thickness Provided tp) = 16 mm

Thickness required(tr) < Thickness Provided (tp)

Hence selected bolted cover thickness is safe

Diameter at Location of Gasket Load reaction (G) = 66.68 cm

Design thickness of flange at 93 dec C

As per ASME section 8 Div- 1 Clause UG-34 ( C ) (2)

Thickness of blind flange or cover (t) = d*((C*P/S*E)+(1.9*W*hG / S*E*d3))0.5

Thickness required (tr) = 1.10297 cm

Thickness required (tr) 11.0297 mm

Hence therefore from the above calculation the minimum thickness required for 24" blind flange is = 11.03 mm

The 24" bolted cover thickness is (Thickness Provided tp) = 25 mm

Thickness required(tr) < Thickness Provided (tp)

Hence selected bolted cover thickness is safe
