Hello All,
My question relates to ASME Section 8 Division 1 Appendix 2 and ASME PCC-1. I'm trying to calculate bolt torque for engineered flanges only and basing my calculations on Appendix 2 to find bolt load, then finding the actual torque value from PCC-1.
After finding bolt loads for both gasket seating conditions and operating conditions (and checking flange stresses)- would I add these two loads together and attempt a Torque calculation? Or- would I take the higher of the two and do the torque calc?
Also, other technical references on this matter are nice to read if you have them.
-Thanks!!
Mathew
