5 General regulations
5.1 Requirements for use of calculation methods
This calculation method can be used to check the flange design instead of other methods, such as.
---Special test;
--- Actual verification;
--- PN series standard flanges used under permitted conditions.
See Appendix E for the calculation sequence.
5.2 Applicable parameter limits
5.2.1 Geometric shape
This calculation method applies to flanges of the following shapes.
---Flange section is the same or similar shape as Figure 4~12;
---4 or more uniform bolts of the same specification;
--- After loading, the cross section and shape of the gasket are consistent with any of the shapes shown in Figure 3;
---Flange size meets the following conditions.
a) 0.2 ≤ bF/eF ≤ 5.0; 0.2 ≤ bL/eL ≤ 5.0
b) eF ≤ max{e2; dB0; pB ×
3(0.010.10)×pB/bF}
c) cosφ≥
1 0.01dS/eS
Note 1. For the flange of the loose flange, it is not necessary to meet bF/eF ≤ 5.0.
Note 2. eF ≥ pB ×
3 (0.010.10) × pB/bF is used to limit the non-uniformity of the gasket stress due to the bolt spacing. 0.01 and 0.10 respectively
Soft (non-metallic) and hard (metal) sealed. See Appendix F.
It should be noted that due to dimensional tolerances and corrosion effects, this calculation method does not apply to flanges of the following shapes.
--- Intrinsically non-axisymmetric flanges, such as split loose flanges, with reinforced flanges.
--- The inner side (or) of the flange and the gasket, metal and metal directly between the inner and/or outer sides of the flange and the center circle of the bolt
Indirect contact flange connection.
5.2.2 Materials
This calculation method does not specify the allowable stress values for materials and can be obtained by relevant standards, such as GB 150.2 or related industrial piping specifications.
Bolt design stress can be determined based on the flange and housing. The gasket is modeled as a material with elastic-plastic behavior.
Note. For gaskets made of compressible materials that allow a large amount of deformation (such as flat gaskets with rubber as the main component), this calculation method will get too much.
Conservative calculations (ie, the required bolt load is too high, the allowable fluid medium pressure is too small, the flange thickness is too thick, etc.) because this calculation method does not
Consider these properties of the gasket.
5.2.3 Load
This calculation method is used for the following types of loads.
--- Fluid pressure. internal or external;
--- External load. axial force and bending moment;
--- Axial expansion of flanges, bolts and gaskets, especially by thermal effects.
5.2.4 Mechanical model
5.2.4.1 This calculation method is based on the following mechanical model.
a) The shape of the flange and gasket are axisymmetric. Small deviations due to the limitation of the number of bolts are allowed. Not allowed for splitting
Loose flange and oval flange.
b) The radial section of the flange ring is not deformed. Only the circumferential stress and strain of the ring are considered, ignoring the radial and axial stresses and strains.
This assumption is necessary to comply with 5.2.1a).
c) The flange ring is connected to the cylindrical housing. The cone neck can be regarded as an equivalent cylindrical shell that is converted by wall thickness, and the cylindrical shell and cone
The elastic and plastic behavior of the shell is different. The calculated wall thickness is between the actual maximum and minimum wall thickness. The conical shell and the spherical shell can
Considering an equivalent cylindrical shell having the same wall thickness, the difference between the conical shell and the spherical shell and the cylindrical shell is considered in the calculation formula.
This assumption is necessary to comply with 5.2.1.c).
At the junction of the flange ring and the housing, the continuity of the radial displacement and the deflection angle should be considered in the calculation.
d) The gasket and flange are in contact on the calculated annular area. The effective width of the spacer (radial) bGe may be less than the actual width of the spacer. Gasket
The calculation of the effective width is based on the installation conditions (I = 0) and is assumed to be unchanged under the subsequent load conditions (I = 1, 2, 3,).
The bGe is calculated to include the elastic deflection of the flange and the elastic and plastic deformation of the gasket under installation conditions.
e) The modulus of elasticity of the gasket increases as the compressive stress Q of the gasket increases. For some gasket stress levels, the modulus of elasticity is
The elastic-plastic secant modulus measured from 100% of the stress level unloaded to 33%. This calculation method uses the highest installation time
Stress (Q).
f) The creep of the gasket during compression can be approximated by the creep coefficient PQR.
g) Consider axial thermal deformation and mechanical deformation of flanges, gaskets and bolts.
h) The load on the flange joint is axisymmetric. For any non-axisymmetric bending moment, use an axially symmetric equivalent axial force according to equation (44)
instead.
i) Changes in load under different operating conditions can cause changes in bolt and gasket stress. The calculation should take into account the elastic changes of all components
shape. To ensure sealing, the required initial assembly force (see 7.5) should be calculated to ensure that the required gasket is achieved under all operating conditions.
Force (see 7.4, 7.6).
j) The verification of the load limit value is based on the ultimate load of each component, which prevents excessive deformation. Gasket limit value
In Qmax) is an approximation.
5.2.4.2 The model does not consider the following factors.
a) Bending stiffness and bending strength of the bolt. However, the tensile stiffness of the bolt (approximate) contains the threaded portion of the bolt and the nut or snail
Deformation of the contact portion of the pit [see equation (34)].
b) Creep of flanges and bolts.
c) The radial deformation of the gasket is uneven (this simplification has no effect on the same type of flange).
d) Fatigue verification (not generally considered in the relevant specifications of this calculation method).
e) External torque and external shear forces, such as those caused by piping.
