OLT TIGHTENING PROCEDURE

ON 10 JANUARY 2016. POSTED IN PIPE FLANGE

Start the tightening procedure by


lubricating the nuts and bolts.  Then hand tighten till they are snug against
the flanges.  If an air wrench is used make sure the pressure is set to the
minimum.  When tightening, always use the correct sequential bolt order for
the flange.

4 AND 8 BOLT FLANGES

 First round - 30% of final torque (flange sequential order)


 Second round- 60% of final torque (flange sequential order)
 Third round - 100% of final torque (flange sequential order)
 One final time - clockwise or counter clockwise sequentially around the
flange.

12 BOLT FLANGES AND MORE

 First round - 20% of final torque (flange sequential order)


 Second round - 40% of final torque (flange sequential order)
 Third round - 80% of final torque (flange sequential order)
 Fourth round - 100% of final torque (sequential order)
 One final time - clockwise or counter clockwise sequentially around the
flange.
