    The document provides instructions for tightening bolts on pipe flanges. It states that lubrication and hand tightening should start the process. Then multiple rounds of tightening should be done at progressively higher torque levels depending on the number of bolts, always following the correct sequential order. Standards for bolts, flanges, and torque levels are also cited.

    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.
