Example1:
In this example the selected system is the closed cooling water system:
Isometric ID: PP13-20-PGB11-MDI-WP-001 (attached B)
ASME B16.47 class 150 series a welding neck flanges
The selected joint is flange to valve type.
The nominal pipe size = 900 mm = 36 in.
From ASME B16.47 class 150 series a welding neck flanges (attached
File):
Number of holes = 32, minimum flange thickness = 89mm.
From line specification( attached file)
Bolting: STUD BOLT W/2 HVY HEX NUTS, ASTM A193 GR B7 / ASTM A194 GR
2H, DIA (INCH) X LEN (MM).
Gasket: GASKET, FLAT RING, ASME B16.47 SERIES A, COMPRESSED NONASBESTOS, 1.6mm, CLASS 150, PER ASME B16.21, GARLOCK IFG 5500.
Length calculation (attached A):
L
CSB
= A+n
A=2(tf + t + d) +G +F a
tf = 89mm, t = 5mm, d =38.1mm, G = 3mm, F = 0, a = 0, n =1.5mm, A =
273.2mm.
So LCSB = 273.2+1.5 = 274.7mm +3mm each washer (attached file).
LCSB =274.7 +6 = 280.7mm (See next page for details on drawing).
Quantity
For one joint: 32 stud bolt, 64 nuts, 1 gasket, 64 washers.
