Thanks for fast reply.
But the problem is not EN standard and software (I have my own, easy and fast). Problem is to simulate results of load on bolts as a function of friction factor. The formula (103) in the standad has three parts and if You dont know values of external loads it is not...
Hi all,
Does somebody know and can give me an answer what are values of external forces and moments (from some calculated example) in flanges connections? I mean e.x for DN250 (or bigger) or equivalent NPS. Im going to check the calculation acc. to European standard EN 1591-1 and a gasket...
Thanks all for advice. The problem with my calculation is I am from Poland and we have a lot of installation builded with ASME elements. Often flanges are old (30-40 years), strange materials etc. But main problem is that Polish Office of Technical Inspection demand calculations acc. ASME, no...
Wow! I'm surprised. I do not have much experience in the calculating of ASME. Normally I use EN 1591-1. Thank you for answer. But is there some way to resolve the problem? I must calculate the project by ASME Code. Now Ive changed the position of the gasket and ST is minimal less than Sf.
I have the problem to understand why if I have ASME/ANSI B16.5-1988 flange 18'' 150#, ASME bolts for this flange, ASME gasket B16.20-1998 18'' 150#, the pressure "very high" 0,1 MPa (14,5 psi), temperature 260oC (500F) the ST calculated tangential stress in flange is so high. Using the formula...
Hello,
I've to calculate a part of pipe named monoblock. So, I want to know is any method in ASME Code to do it? I heard that type of calculation is in ASME Code s. V, but I havent that standard and I dont want to buy it untill I will no certainty it is true. May be someone know how to resolve...
