    AWHEM Recommendation For Stud Bolts and Tap End Studs For API Spec 6A 7

    The document provides formulas and guidelines for calculating the length of tap end studs for API Spec 6A flanges: 1) The total stud length (L) is calculated as the sum of the flange thickness, tolerances, nut thickness, flange face standoff, maximum end point height, tap end thread length, and any raised face height. 2) The calculated length is then rounded up to the next 1/8 inch increment to allow for variation in installation and ensure full nut engagement. 3) The maximum height of the stud end point is 1.5 times the thread pitch and the tap end thread length is at least one diameter plus 1.5 times the pitch.

    3.0 METHOD OF CALCULATING TAP END STUD LENGTHS FOR TYPE 6B AND 6BX FLANGES

    3.0a CALCULATION. The following formula was 3.0b ROUNDING OFF PROCEDURE. Add
    used in establishing tap end stud lengths listed in 1/16 inch to the calculated length and then
    the tables and is included here for convenience of round up to the next 1/8 inch increment after
    industry. Length shown in tables results from this addition. This rounding procedure
    rounding as specified in paragraph 3.0b. allows for variation in stud installation
    methods and assures sufficient extension for
    full nut engagement.
